Overview
Our boating courses are for anyone who wants to be safe on the water and would rather have training on their own boat, not in a classroom with lots of other people.
We are based in the Bay of Plenty, but we can very easily come to your location.
Our Boat Driver Training courses cover all types of powerboats from very small outboard vessels to large motor launches and commercial vessels.
We also teach Day Skipper, Boat Handling Skills and VHF Marine Radio operation.
You will experience private one-on-one tuition on your own boat.
You won’t get lost in a classroom of 20 -30 people, we focus only on you and your learning process.
Want to bring a friend or family member? No worries, we have you covered, an additional person can be included in your personal programme for no extra cost.
Learn hands-on everything you need to know about how to handle your boat
We offer our training and courses at any location that fits in with your lifestyle.
Our instructors have experience with dinghy’s, jet boats, runabouts, off-shore powerboats, offshore racing boats and the family boat, both inboard & outboard. We can also help with training on launches, commercial launches or ferries.
While our are instructors are with you, they will be happy to check your boat over and offer any advice on safety equipment or techniques we believe you would benefit from.
