My husband John finally went for his Skippers Ticket – from the first phone call to Mike Watson @ Sea Safe through to class room and practical examinations, Mike was a professional all the way through. Took his time to make sure all his students understood and knew what they had to deliver. Would highly recommend. Whilst doing practical test we did observe others on the river who should have been in our class!! 🙂 Cheers Mike – Tight lines.

Thanks Mick for a great morning. Would recommend anyone who is looking to get there skippers ticker to come here. Had my wife with me who was freaking out about doing the practical but she got through it thanks to Mick. Catch you out on the water. Cheers.

Michelle White reviewed Sea Safe Boat School — 5 star

Thank you so much for today. I am so rapt to have passed my Skipper’s Ticket… and it was all thanks to you Mick. As a novice, I was absolutely crapping myself, but your tuition was spot on and put me at ease. Even when I got my knickers in a knot, your calming influence was bang on and got me there. Thoroughly, highly, totally recommend Sea Safe to anyone wanting to learn how to skipper a boat. Top stuff! Can’t wait to get out new boat now and we’ll give you a ‘hoy’ when we pass Maylands!

Hi Mike

Just a couple words regarding my skippers ticket I obtain from you.

As a novice it was a bit daunting not knowing what to expect when I enroll at Sea Safe Boat School it changed when I start working threw the theory and the self test questions.

On the day of the theory and practical test I was blown away with the passion you have regarding boat safety in general, it shows even more threw your explanations, skills and your knowledge.

With this quality of training I will re-comment any one from novice to advance training in boat safety to  Sea Safe Boat School.

Well done I wish you all the best for the future.

See you on the water.

Mike Henderson Hi mike I was very impressed with the professionalism in which you presented the course and your desire to teach your students in the correct procedures and set tasks . As we spoke of training,I do think that there should be a prerequisite the very inexperience boater would benefit greatly from a set amount of training hours ,this would give some people a lot more confidence to finish set tasks on -the practical aspect of obtaining a skippers. Ticket. Once again thank you for your time and patience which reflected your professional approach to your students I wish you well . Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback it is always good to hear from another assessor. unfortunately what you are proposing is not up to me its DOT. Stay safe and enjoy your boating. Regards Mike Watson

Thanks Michael,

Was really good to meet you and have the opportunity to complete the RST with seasafe boat school.

I found the whole booking system really easy and all the information, extra quizzes and videos really helped understanding all the knowledge and requirements of operating a boat safely as well as the being prepared for the theory and practical assessments.

The course really was paced well and the location and boat was excellent to complete the course. The section of the river is perfect to practice skills and the tuition and practice really helped to hone my skills ahead of the assessment.

Can’t recommend this enough to others. Thanks again.

Ryan Geddes reviewed Sea Safe Boat School — 5 star

Highly recommended using Sea safe boat school. Michael was professional and a great teacher. Made the theory make a lot of sense and easy to remember. The use of a small AC class room and a open forum to ask and discuss all topics before Michael felt we were compentant. Lots of other boat schools are only interested in making money. Michael genuinely was you to understand the safe method to use your boat. Cant fault the course. We went for the Gold package as we wanted the extra time in the class. 5 stars   6/2/18

Thanks Michael I enjoyed the course and i’m glad I chose Sea Safe.

Key things for me were having the “classroom” environment allowing for you to provide all the visual prompts and examples which was helpful particularly the navigation content.

Your style was also excellent, very experienced/ knowledgable and thorough but your relaxed manner put us all at ease and gave us confidence.

Similarly the practical assessment briefing was clear and concise and again we all gained confidence from the way you instructed it.

My feedback wouldnt change anything really. I’ll recommend Sea Safe if I come across people looking to gain their stickers tkt.

Think I’m going to store my boat down at maylands so will say gday when I see you.

Thanks again

My experience with Sea Safe Boat School has been an awesome one. Mike made learning how to skipper a boat easy despite my very limited knowledge. He guides every participant from start to finish and has a real knack for explaining things in a clear and concise manner. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn how to skipper a boat safely.

Before you arrive on the training day you are provided with everything you need to know for your assessment. He is very thorough in his approach and leaves very little to chance. Thank you to Mike and Sea Safe Boat School.  14/1/18

Kellie Ashman reviewed Sea Safe Boat School — 5 star

I highly recommend Mike at Sea Safe Boat School-
I had barely knowledge of boating rules and no experience driving a boat. Prior to booking.
I received all the necessary reading books and followed his clear instructions.
Mike was clear in explaining and showing everything in the theory and practical runs and made sure all was understood, he is extremely professional and was very patient with my first boat driving experience. I passed today and gained confidence to take the wheel and will certainly keep practicing.
I chose the gold booking and would recommend in a heartbeat.
Thank you so much Mike.    12/1/18

Hello Mike, many thanks for your skill, knowledge and easy style that was surely the key to me acheiving my Skippers Ticket with you today, All too often these days it’s all about pushing through, moving on and rush, rush. This was not your style and I thank you for that, today you showed N old hand that there is always something to be learnt. What could be better than learning something new about enjoying your favourite pastime safely.  4/1/18

Thanks

I knew nothing about boats and have hardly been on one let alone driven one prior to taking the course. The material supplied, at the time of booking, was very good. I was very nervous the day before, but on the day, Michael put us all at ease. His patience, explanations and training were second to none. It was very obvious that he had years of experience.

I would truly recommend Sea Safe Boat School to everyone.

Sir.Micheal, assessor of the year!

Just completed my Recreational Skippers Ticket with Sea Safe Boat School. Booking was easy, great training facility and well priced!
Micheal Watson was my assessor. He was very clear in outlining the expectations he had of me and was extremely professional in the way he conducted both the theoretical and practical components of the course.
He made the 5.5 hours I was there both enjoyable and worthwhile. 
I would certainly recommend Sea Safe Boat School to others. 30/12/17

 

G’day Mike, thanks for the Skippers course today and for my Skippers ticket.  I very much enjoyed doing the course, it was interesting and fun and I would highly recommend others to do your course too.  You were very helpful, knowledgeable and professional and have a great sense of humour.  Thanks to you I learned a lot today and feel that I will be able to navigate the waters with confidence.  I think the length of the course was appropriate too.  Thanks again and Happy New Year. Corey Schravesande. 30/12/17

Feedback:

I had no knowledge about boats or driving one.  I received all the necessary reading information promptly.  I was quite nervous as I thought my lack of knowledge would be a set back, but Michael Watson was an incredible skipper trainer.  Very clear in explaining everything that was important and patient with my questions.  I must say the course was a great learning experience and I definitely recommend Sea Safe Boat School.

Thanks for everything Michael.

Will be looking forward to putting all this learning into continuous practice as you said, not letting the boys do it.

Best regards,

Thanks for your tuition, guidance and support today Mike! Very professional and highly recommended. Cheers Ben

Really enjoyed the course Mike, personally I wouldn’t change anything, like you said if you read the workbook and want to pass the effort has to come from the student, definitely needed the hour before the test to go over things because it’s not that common for inexperienced people to understand the boat language, looking back it’s fairly easy to pass, a far as instruction and knowledge I thought you were top notch, very knowledgeable and open,

Thanks very much and I have already recommended you to friends

Thanks again  Jo Knoerr  5/12/17

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delay in response as I have been unusually busy with work.

My response to your school is first:

I have never operated a boat in my life. The time you took to explain things and go through what was required made me feel more confident on what I was doing on the water. Not only in relation to the text book stuff, but in the actual practical handling of the boat.

I found your course to be more than just pay your money and get a certificate like others offer. I was delighted to find that you are prepared to NOT pass students who don’t meet the criteria as this means you take an interest on maintaining a standard. I was also delighted that you would give a free re-training class though if you did not pass to ensure you got appropriately trained.

If there’s anything I would add to your course, I would have loved to hear more of your tales as you have lots of experience to share.

Regards

Jack Gomez 26/11/17

Good evening  Michael,

Thank you for the excellent boating course this morning. I appreciated your balance of professionalism with being able to have a joke and the sense of camaraderie that developed throughout the morning. I enjoyed the theory revision and the props that were available and practising certain components of the practical test with each other prior to jumping onboard.

On the water, I really enjoyed the practice run we were given and to get a ‘feel’ of the boat prior to the actual test. While training with the other students onboard was great so everyone could learn from each other.

All in all, I thought the training and the way the course was run was fantastic and I will be recommending your course to everyone and anyone.

Kind regards,

Thanks Michael for course.
Feedback as follows:
· Like the practical explanations of the rules and regulations which were backed up with examples. Found this really useful background and information;
· The simple aids were good (e.g. magnetic boats, buoy markings etc);
· For the practical the boat was good and easy to learn on;
· The location for the testing is also good to learn approach dock and leaving dock;
· Practical explanation of what to do on the boat very good;
· I found the material sent out before hand very useful as well including video.
It would be difficult to improve how the course was run because it was run like Singer sewing machine.
The only area would suggest if the class room could be a bit bigger, it is very cosy, but also understand that this could be difficult to arrange.
Thanks and regards,   13/11/17

I was visiting Perth from the UK on a three month visa and my children booked the Gold course for my birthday, I opted for the option of extra tuition on handling the boat as I had not driven a boat for many years. I could not have asked for a better instructor, Michael was brilliant and made me feel at ease. The course was professional from start to finish, the study information I received prior to the course was excellent and the tuition and guidance throughout was first class. I would highly recommend Sea Safe Boat School.  9/11/17

I decided to sit my skippers ticket and found Sea Safe Boat School on Google. Being quite nearby, my friends and I booked in to do the silver course. We all did our pre-home work and found the course and examination process really good. Mike’s teaching style is very natural and we all passed. Would recommend them again!

Hey Mike,

 I really enjoyed the course, your website was very clear about the different levels of package and what they involve. The email with the dvd link explained the need to do lots of home work and it paid off.

The practical was a little daughing at first but your teaching style made me feel much more comfortable after the first few tries.

Happy to recommend you guys :-).

Thank you for conducting a very thorough theoretical review prior to the examination, it was certainly very useful to help me cement what I had studied in the course manuals.

Similarly with the practical examination, your tuition was invaluable.  I actually went out in my boat on Sunday and had a quite successful maiden voyage

Can I book into the next VHF course you hold (outside of working hours) as I need to have a VHF radio license do log on and off with Sea Rescue won’t I?

Thank you for a very thorough and detailed training course last Sunday morning.

Our day ran smoothly thanks to your professionally run course. You provide a very comfortable training room and it was lovely to sit in an air conditioned environment with tea/coffee/water available. It made us relaxed and meant for easy learning.

You covered all the material and listened to all our questions covering any grey areas we had.

Hi Michael,

Happy to send you feedback as I think you run a great little course there.

I honestly can’t think of where you could improve! I had a great morning, very informative.

The pre-test run down on the rules and regs filled in any grey area’s and made everything clear.

I think you provided ample clarification & where more than fair whilst still being strict enough to not

allow someone to head out into the ocean without proving we understood the rules & requirements first.

Overall had a great morning and will be sure to recommend you to anyone interested in obtaining a skippers ticket.

Thanks Michael

It was a great morning and I really enjoyed it. I felt a lot more confident taking the boat out last Sunday.

I just wanted to drop you a line to state my appreciation for what I’ve gained from your course. Your knowledge, experience and patience is second to none and your ability to explain and teach even the trickiest aspects of the Skippers Ticket is to be commended.
The whole course was extremely beneficial and enjoyable! I would highly recommend you to anyone thinking of gaining their Skipper’s Ticket, your course is surely the best anyone could hope to do.

Hi Michael ,

I would like to thank you and Sea Safe Boat School for the Skippers Training Course I attended Monday 5^th December at your Maylands facility.I studied hard and had a couple of afternoons out on the river prior to attending your course , but none of this compared to the training and accessing that you provided.

I paid for the premium course and Michael was very clear and precise in the pre course training that I actually connected everything I had studied  from the DOT skippers book a lot more clearer and confident once Michael had taken us through the pre course training. I actually was quite nervous prior to attending the morning but had studied hard and watched the recommended video several times  , Once Michael was into the first 5 minutes of his training he explained things so much more clearly that it all just fell into place . I have attended many sales training and assessors course’s but I can honestly say that Michael knows his stuff , delivers it in a way that you can understand and is perhaps one of the best trainers I have seen. If you’re going for your Skippers ticket I highly recommend that you give Perth Sea Safe Boat School in Maylands a go .Thanks again Shane Anning

Cheers Michael,

Hi Michael,

We had a great time doing the course, we thought you were excellent at preparing us for the theory and practical tests.

We will and have already recommended you to family and friends.

Keep up the great work!!             Maylands November 2016

To all prospective client RST students:-

Michael has a great depth of sea knowledge and experience gained in a professional capacity over many years at sea, and this is very evident in his lectures.He also has excellent interpersonal people skills, and makes his clients feel relaxed and comfortable during the theory and practical lessons conducted within excellent facilities. Michael’s calm, friendly, informative lectures, and practical demonstrations, are down to earth and easily understood, and he is always willing to further explain the more complex situations in a patient reassuring manner.I have no hesitation in recommending family and friends to get their RST with Michael at his Sea safe Boat School.Regards,John Stevens13/09/2016

Fantastic relaxed coaching and mentoring from Mike, extremely professional throughout the assessment process and provided encouragement from the beginning of the course.

i got my recreational Skippers Ticket thanks to Sea Safe Boat School! I learned a lot from their classes which greatly helped me during the assessment for the RST. Sea Safe is the best boat school! Thanks Mike, Danielle Wyatt  Maylands August 2016

I have done many courses but this one was very informative , well planned and executed by a master

Thanks Mike

A well set out course with a great instructor and good value for money! Highly recommend!    July 2016

I took my skipper’s ticket by enrolling with Sea Safe Boat School. Michael’s approach to teaching using a classroom environment allowed me to understand the requirements and theoretical aspects better. The question and answer session was very useful with examples shown in the class and on the board. For someone who has never had any prior experience, I found the training offered very useful and enjoyable.
I would certainly recommend Sea Safe Boat School to any of my mates who may be interested.

Regards Sivabalan Shumungam       June  2016

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your time today, we are glad we chose Sea Safe Boat School to obtain our skippers license.
Very professional with some great tips that could save our life!

Kind Regards Devon Hollywood  May 2016

Thanks for everything mate!

The course was an absolute dream, given my lack of experience in a boat I was a bit apprehensive about the practical but within a few minutes I felt confident that I was going to be alright everything was explained and demonstrated in an easy to understand manner made it a breeze. There were a few questions I wouldn’t have passed if it wasn’t for the theory we went over in the beginning I really appreciated the diagrams and examples of signs which helped my understanding of going through channels, who has right of way as well as things such as which sign means what and where possible dangers lie.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am glad that I did it with you guys I think you’re running an excellent program and will happily be recommending your course to my friends.

Kind Regards

Thanks Michael. It really was a great experience. I would highly recommend to any one thinking of getting their RST. We did the silver course, and having been on the water for many years I still learned a heap from Michael. This bloke truly knows his stuff and he cares about the people he is teaching. Definitely not a money grabber. Regards Nick    April 2016

Thanks Michael for your patience and guidance with the revision and skippers course today.   It is such a relief to finally have our skipper’s ticket. The whole process was way out of my comfort zone but with your help and guidance it made it so easy. Well done and thank you once again.

Morning Mike. Thankyou once again for yesterday! Me and the old boy both had a great morning! Mate we thought Seasafe is a great organisation that is in operation to help and assist with everyone looking to get their skippers ticket. We thought the course was run very well on the day and right from my first contact with you up untill this email now it was a pleasure to work with you! Thankyou Very Much! Tim and Walter Chrulew. Maylands  Feb 2016

Thanks Mike !

Thanks Michael for the day, I enjoyed the experience very much. Loved the setting and the calm piece of river to do the test in seeing the Dolphins alongside was a big bonus. If I had a chance to change anything I don’t think I would.

Regards Peter Hall   Maylands 2016

It was a pleasure working with you on the Skippers Ticket exam today. Your approach to the tasks and interface with me was nothing but professional from start to finish. The whole time during the test both theoretical and practical was done without stress and was carried out to what I believe was a very high standard.
Thank you and I will certainly be referring people to you in the future, great job
Best Regards

Hi Mike

Hi Mike, Thank you very much for a most enjoyable morning, straight from the outset we found you to be a very pleasant and easy going person. You made the morning an enjoyable experience whilst learning a lot of things which weren’t actually in the book ie, additional floation devices, simplified ways of launching a boat and to think outside the box a little. I’d also like to thank you for taking a little extra time putting my sister at ease as she was extremely nervous. We would highly recommend you to anyone wanting to obtain a Skippers Ticket. Many Thanks Steve & Tash. Natasha Rowe Maylands 2016

I booked with Mike at Sea Safe for a surprise birthday present for my husband. From the phone call of booking to the end of the test, Mike was very helpful, professional and most of all very friendly and great with our 2 girls. Thank you for a fab day and even better, seeing the Dolphins made it extra special. Definitely recommend and thank you. Clint Mcdowell, Paula McDowell, Darcy and Skye . Maylands 2016

Thanks Mike,

All of us had a great day and your tips were fantastic. Your patience with myself and Keely, neither of whom had driven a boat, was much appreciated! Should you take up giving driving lessons, we would happily send Keely your way, otherwise, I guess we’ll catch up in a couple of years once Sarah is old enough to get her ticket. We felt in safe hands from the moment we made the booking to finishing the course! Even better, the great day on the river has motivated Jason to get working on fixing his boat! Thanks Again

Debbie, Chris and Keely  Maylands 2016

Charmaine Moss – Thanks Michael, I was nervous to start with but you made me feel at ease and came out feeling very confident. Your instruction was easy to understand and we enjoyed getting our ticket. Definitely will recommend you to anyone who needs to get their skippers ticket  Maylands 2016

Thanks Mike for a professional and thorough instruction for my skippers ticket. I would highly recommend you to anyone that needs to be assessed or trained in all aspects of boating. 10 out of 10.

Hi Mike

Just a couple words regarding my skippers ticket I obtain from you.
As a novice it was a bit daunting not knowing what to expect when I enroll at Sea Safe Boat School it changed when I start working threw the theory and the self test questions.
On the day of the theory and practical test I was blown away with the passion you have regarding boat safety in general, it shows even more threw your explanations, skills and your knowledge.
With this quality of training I will re-comment any one from novice to advance training in boat safety to Sea Safe Boat School.

Well done I wish you all the best for the future.
See you on the water.

Regards
Gabriel Maritz  Maylands

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your time this morning to allow me to gain my recreational skippers ticket.

I found the way you ran through the procedures and correct ways of doing tasks extremely easy and gratifying, every task was in lamens terms and it was an absolute pleasure having you as my instructor.

Thank you for the additional safety tips on flotation, life vests, bimini’s, wind etc. You were extremely thorough in your approach and I certainly walked away with a lot more than I thought I would.

I would not hesitate to refer you to anyone in the future should they be looking to gain their RST.

Thanks again and have a safe weekend. Happy boating!

Regards,Steve Bennett
