Practical Assessment – Personal Watercraft Licence

I encourage you to drive the  jetski  with another licenced skipper before arriving at the BoatSafe course - you may not be confident driving the boat in just one day. I offer training sessions if you don't have friends or family with a boat or jetski that you can practise on. The training sessions should be in the same way that a new driver engage with a car driving instructor.

Look out for sand banks.  Reduce the risk of hitting anyone or anyone running into you. 

CONFIDENCE BOOSTER ride is the next step. BUM ON SEAT TIME is what you need. Ask me when you book.

Some of he activities you should practice are:

  • Man Overboard drill
  • Safely approach a floating object
  • Port and starboard turn, on and off he plane
  • Figure 8 manoeuvre on and off the plane
  • Berthing and unberthing the boat
  • General navigation and control of the boat
  • Operate at 6 knots or less

Small groups help you relax and have more fun on the day. Watch your confidence boost immediately.
