I know many of you guys from stranger shores plan a trip to Europe sometime and included in that would be working time. I guess that would be, wherever possible, somewhere warm and lively and glamorous. Fitting the bill perfectly for that is the Cote D’Azur, south of France; aptly named for the beautiful blue sparkling sea. This is the playground for the rich and famous; from Monaco down to St Tropez the waters are home to the most spectacularly opulent boats in the world, and hence they need plenty of crew to keep them going.  So I thought you might like to know about the
new regulations relating to the ICC (International Certificate for Competence)
Powerboats. This quali is now available to non-Eu residents (so that includes
you Aussies, Kiwis and anyone else not resident in the EU) and is an automatic license obtained after doing your RYA Level 2 Powerboat qualification. This quali is the one that most super yachts like their crew to obtain, it means you are qualified to drive the tenders for such jobs as water-taxi for guests, accompanying water sports trips, getting to port to
collect croissants for the guest and myriad other boat ferrying jobs. The
course itself takes two days and covers all aspects of practical boat driving
plus most importantly coastal awareness, and seamanship.

At Adventure St Tropez …yes, good guess… based just 2
nautical miles from St Tropez and we offer this course at the amazing price of
395 Euros, which is about 200 Euros cheaper than anyone else, if you get a
small group of 3 then we offer discounts.  The course is all in-house, so we are able to
issue the license at the end of the course. Later on if you need to be
qualified for night-passage we also offer the Advance Powerboat course.

We did have a few Kiwi guys come for the course last year,
and I think they were more than delighted to get a sneaky wakeboard session
thrown in at the end of the course.

You can check out more about the course on our website at www.adventure-sports.co.uk/rya and email me from there.

Why not treat your nearest and dearest wakeboard or boating enthusiast to a Wakeboarding weekend or Jetski/boating license in the sunny south of France.

Weekend courses include accommodation and start from £175. Jet ski and boat licenses start from £195 and can also include accommodation.

A great idea to keep your loved ones safe and happy on the water!

We really are so lucky here in the south of France, we get the best weather and this time of year the Gulf is as quiet as can be. Why not come and join in the fun!

Easyjet have a sale on now for flights up to 13th July and we are offering 10% off holidays to all pevious customers in May and June. Plus 100 Euros off a Powerboat Course. Our new Osprey Vipermax  is a top boat to drive and wakeboard behind. Early season is a great time to come, quieter waters and ideal conditions. Hope to see you soon!

Adventure Sports now has a new JetSki for the coming season. A new Yamaha VX, 4 stroke, 110 hp, three seater. More powerful and more reliable.

We look forward to working with the new machine, both in experience sessions for our holiday customers and the RYA PWC courses that we also run down here in sunny St.Tropez!

Nicky Wilkes our long time friend, fellow snowboarder, wakeboarder, Adventure Sports Instructor and Fitness Trainer is moving to Valencia. Many of her friends and fitness students had a great farewell night out in Falmouth on Saturday to say goodbye. Happily we will still see lots of her in St Tropez as she plans to come out next summer to help out when she can. Many of you will have met her and know that her enthusiasm and energy is a great motivator to us all. Best of luck in Valencia Nickie and look forward to seeing you next summer. She continues to offer personal training at www.personal-fitness-training.co.uk

Adventure Sports also known as Adventure St.Tropez, are re-introducing Sailing for the 2011 Season. We are purchasing, with the help of wonderful French Leasing, a new Dufour 34 Evolution yacht. It is a tiny bit smaller than the one we had before but it is faster…..

We may take it out for whole day safari, anchoring off somewhere beautiful for lunch, swimming, snorkelling and of course a glass or two of cold rose from the fridge.

Or we can opt to make it just an afternoons sail. It can be for you to choose. Either way it is an idealistic way of spending part of your holiday in the hot mediterannean sun of the Gulf of St. Tropez.

We are really looking forward to it
