If you enjoy being in control and the thrills of
cruising on wide-open spaces, you can consider getting
yourself a Powered Pleasure Craft Driving Licence
(PPCDL). One of the most popular ‘Nauti’ courses in
SAFYC, as well as Singapore, the PPCDL course is a
comprehensive course that provides you with the freedom
to pilot your own craft out on the waters upon passing
the required examinations. Get in touch with the
daredevil in you and feel the adrenaline rush as you
cruise through local and international waters.
Boundaries are non-existent and the best thing
is, there are no traffic lights and road demarcations,
but do drive safely. Get started by taking up the simple
2-day course at SAFYC, where our veteran instructors
will bring you through both the theory and practical
know-how’s, bringing you closer to your dream.
