The Training Vessel
Our training vessel is a 5.7 metre Quintrex bow rider which offers passengers a soft, dry and stable ride. Fitted with power assisted steering, it's as easy as steering a car and an ultra quiet Mercury 135hp 4 stroke engine, helping you to hear the trainer easily. Fully loaded with 7 passengers our vessel will travel comfortably at 20 knots.
You don't need a PWC, we provide the jet skis, we have 2 Seedoos.
For students that have never ridden a jet ski and are a little unsure, we use the training key which limits the top speed. To obtain a PWC licence you need to have first obtained your recreational marine drivers licence (boat). You can do the boat and PWC licence courses on the same day numbers permitting.
There are two aspects to obtaining your PWC licence: 1. Theory, 2. Practical
Theory
To prepare for the PWC licence multiple choice assessment questions, please view our PWC STUDY MATERIAL and study it. It contains the theory information you need for your PWC assessment.
Practical
If you have never ridden a PWC we'll train you how to operate it, and in a constructive process bring your skills to the required level. We will be on the water with you offering advice and instruction. Allow approximately of 2 hours to complete the PWC theory and practical training.
Outcomes
At the conclusion of the QLD PWC licence course you'll receive a satisfactory course completion certificate which can be presented at Queensland Transport to obtain your PWC licence. www.transport.qld.gov.au
