What you can expect

  • Our professional reputation and experience, a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, thorough and well run courses and value for money.
  • Generous practical time on the water. We give you plenty of time to learn the skills you need plus you get the benefit of extensive local knowledge. I used to patrol these waterways – day and night – so you will be very well trained.
  • Easy to follow comprehensive training courses designed to accommodate everyone from the first time boatie to the more experienced.
  • An excellent online learning course – at no upfront cost – where you study in your own time and at your own pace.
  • A theory refresher session with the trainer before you are asked to do the theory assessment multi choice questions.
  • A “Safe Boating in Queensland” Workbook to keep for future reference.
  • Small practical class sizes – less pressure for our students – and more time to practice your skills. We can seat 6 students plus the trainer but usually limit the number on the boat to 4.
  • A 5.35 metre bowrider speedboat with full bimini for shelter. There is comfortable seating for up to 7 and it is powered by a Mercury 115hp outboard motor.
  • For those doing the jet ski licence course, we run a Kawasaki Ultra LX jet ski, renowned for handling, ride, stability and simplicity of controls.
