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.

PWC Course

To obtain a PWC licence you need to have first obtained your Recreational Marine Drivers Licence (boat licence).

There are two aspects to obtaining your PWC licence: 1. Theory & 2. Practical

1. Theory - To prepare for the PWC licence multiple choice assessment questions, please view our PWC study material (PDF, 230k), and study it. It contains the theory information you need for your PWC assessment.

2. Practical - When ready to go for your PWC licence test please contact our closest training centre to arrange a time. You can provide your own PWC (must provide proof of insurance), or many of our areas have PWC's available.

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'll be on the water with you, either on an attendant PWC or boat, or on your PWC, and be able to offer advice and instruction. Allow an hour and a half for the assessment and administration.



Outcomes

At the conclusion of the QLD PWC Licence Course you'll receive a Satisfactory Course Completion Certificate which can be presented to Queensland Transport to obtain your PWC licence.http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/Home/Licensing/Boat_licence/
