Whether you are looking to refresh your boating skills or want to obtain your recreational skippers license for the first time, Sea Safe Boat School at Maylands has the best instructors and facilities available. Boating is a fun recreational activity, but there is a very seasonal side when it comes to safety.
When it comes to learning how to boat, it’s important to go with instructors who know their stuff and have top-notch facilities. That’s why Sea Safe Boat School is the best place to get your boat licence or recreational skipper’s ticket.
At Sea Safe Boat School in Perth, we provide a unique learning experience. Our air-conditioned classrooms offer boat licence courses with an experienced marine instructor, unlike other places that may have you doing theory tests in car parks or outdoor settings.
Face-to-face theory courses include a thorough induction on our boats, so you can become familiar with the vessels before the theory begins. During the course, students will engage with visual aids to support easy learning, videos, and practical exercises that use charts, GPS, marine radios, safety equipment, sailing flags, day shapes, and knot tying so that you will be confident when it is time to take the practical component to get your recreational skippers ticket.
We can answer any questions you have about our boats and equipment in our classroom, and you can see them in person before the practical training and assessment. Our Maylands classroom setting also includes:
Other licence providers are based at crowded public boat ramps, which means you compete for space on the water and deal with crowds, boats, and delays. This can be frustrating on its own, but a busy waterway is also not the safest place for a beginner to be learning the ropes.
Sea Safe Boat School has a dedicated boat ramp for your skipper’s ticket in Maylands so you won’t have to compete with the weekend recreational skippers and have plenty of room in a protected environment. There is minimal risk and you will have an expert instructor onboard with you to ensure there is no chance of anything going wrong.
Don’t compete for space on the Swan River with ferries and large vessels, take full advantage of our dedicated ramp and sheltered waters where you can enjoy a stress-free learning experience.
All of our teachers have completed Master 5 Instructor certification which means they have over 120 days of qualified sea service in the last five years and have completed a Certificate of Competency and the approved Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Task Book. Owner/Operator Mike Watson is a Master 5 Trainer with over 35 years of experience and he will personally provide face-to-face tuition and detailed demonstrations before skipper training assessment.
Our skipper licence courses are interactive so that you can ask questions at any time during the course. We will provide you with DVDs, a skipper’s ticket workbook and practice questions to study at your convenience before your boat handling course assessment.
For questions before the start of the skipper training course or to take a skippers ticket practice test, Mike is available by phone and email. Read more from our happy customers in our testimonials section.
