Questions about this list

How is this list ranked?

Centres are ordered by how much of what they offer we could confirm from a primary source — training agencies, boats, courses, gas fills, servicing — plus published contact details and photos. It is a documentation ranking, not a review score, and nobody pays to be listed.

Can a business pay to appear here?

No. Listings and order come from our research only. Businesses can ask us to correct their details, but not to change their position.

How current is this guide?

It is generated from the directory's latest research, checked in 2026. Conditions, operators and seasons change — confirm details with the operator before you book.
