Sea Safe Boat School is the only training facility in Perth with a dedicated, air-conditioned classroom environment where you can work with experienced teachers and learn everything you need to know to pass both the written and practical tests. You will need to be over 18, pass an eye test and provide proof of identity, much the same as applying for your driver’s licence.
Then you will work face-to-face with our teachers who will assist you in every way to ensure you are competent and ready to take your skippers ticket test.
While getting your Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST) might sound a lot like getting a driver’s licence, it is technically not a licence at all. That means there are no ongoing fees and no need to renew your RST at any point.
Once you are competent and have your ticket, you can look forward to a lifetime of fun and relaxation on the water. To gain access to the best teachers in the best learning environment (and the lowest skippers ticket cost) contact the team at Sea Safe Boat School.
