NSW Boat Licence Course - Fun in the Sun!

NSW Boat licence courses are provided at the Maritime Training School’s Sydney headquarters, our qualified trainers provide everything you need in our popular one-day NSW Boat Licence course – and you get a great day out on the water at the same time.

The NSW Boat Licence Course is designed for everybody. Whether you’re brand new to boating, or you’ve been messing around in boats since you were a kid, the course will suit you. Speaking of kids, a young adult boat licence is available from the age of 12, so kids are catered to as well. It’s a great family experience! Not to mention great peace of mind knowing that your kids know all the rules and can handle a boat competently as well.

Get Your NSW Boat Licence With Us

In NSW, when operating a powered vessel capable of travelling at speeds over 10 knots, you are required to hold a NSW boat licence. Canberra residents who use NSW waterways also need a NSW boat licence. You also require practical training and experience prior to undertaking the NSW Boat Licence test.

Live in Sydney or Canberra? Maritime Training Schools is one of the best places to get your NSW boat licence. Our one day boat licence courses provide all the training and testing you need to get your boat licence – and also give you a great day out on the water as well.

Whether you’re a complete novice or have had loads of practice on a mate’s boat already, the boat licence course will provide you with a wealth of information and give you the knowledge, testing and practical experience required to get that licence. Young adults over 12 can apply for a young adult’s licence too, so if the kids are keen, bring them along as well.

Enrol With The Boat Licence Experts Today!

At the Maritime Training School, we love helping get people out on the water. Getting your boat licence is a great way to take advantage of the fantastic harbour we have right here – even if you don’t have your own boat. Having your own licence means you can take the wheel of a friend’s boat with confidence, or hire your own boat for the day. And if you want a career on the water, we can help there too. Don’t put it off any longer.

Give us a Call on (02) 9736 3655 Today. We look forward to seeing you on the water!

Personal Watercraft (PWC) Licence (Upgrade From Boat Licence)

To get a PWC Licence, the General Boat Licence test must be passed first. You can do both courses on the 1 day with MTS. If you already have your boat licence you can do the PWC licence as a simple upgrade. You then have to get your PWC licence from the Roads and Maritime Services office or Service NSW, just like a boat licence.

If you’ve ever been on holidays down or up the coast and thought that taking out a jetski looks like fun, you might be surprised to discover that you can’t just hop on – not unless you have a licence. That’s right. In NSW, a special licence is required to ride a personal watercraft (PWC) regardless of what speed it is driven. You can’t just go and get a PWC licence at your local fishing shop or service station either!
Don’t wait till you’re on holidays to find out you can’t go buzzing around the waterways on a PWC! Add the PWC Safety Course on to your one day NSW Boat Licence Course and get it all sorted before you head away.

 

 

Private Maritime Training Also Available

If you’ve already got a boat and a licence, but feel like you need a few more trips with an experienced skipper before you take it out, we can definitely help out there as well. Or perhaps you want to take over the wheel on a hire or friend’s boat confidently and competently. You don’t need to own a boat to become an expert sailor but you do need some experience – especially if you’re the sole skipper in charge. We can also help with pre-purchase advice and boat delivery for when you do decide to get your own boat.

Boat Licence Sydney

With Maritime Training School’s Boat Licence Sydney course, not only will you have everything you need to get your licence, you’ll have a great day out on the water as well. In Sydney, the theory component of the boat licence course is held in Mosman (we can also pick you up in Rose Bay or Cabarita and take you there) or in Sans Souci.

The practical component is held on our 6.5 metre training boat where you’ll do all the practical exercises required for your licence (on Sydney Harbour for the Mosman course, Botany Bay area for the Sans Souci course). Then it’s back to the classroom for the NSW General Boat Licence Test – a 50-question multiple choice test.

Once you’ve successfully passed the test you’ll have a completed application form to take to the Roads and Maritime Services office where your licence will be issued.
