What a great experience it was obtaining my boat licence through Allstate. From talking to Steve on the phone, completing the online training and doing the prac. The instructor Steve made it informative, gave easy to follow instructions and kept us at ease. Shout out to all the crew for a great day.

Highly recommended. Stave is very kind, professional and attentive. Course is fully educational providing theoretical and practical skills to operate the boat. Trailer experience and a sandwich on the boat for the long course would be 'icing in top'.

Stephen is my new favourite person! It was my first time ever driving a boat, and thanks to his guidance, I felt completely prepared and supported. Even though we were a group of six, he made sure to spend one-on-one time with each of us. I learned so much and came away feeling confident in both my skills and knowledge. We had such a great time—highly recommended!
