You have a great boat and a Recreational Marine Licence so you’re all set to go out on the water and enjoy yourself with family and friends but…
…how competent are you in driving your boat, berthing it and dealing with onboard emergencies if they suddenly happen.
Please be honest when you answer this and not just think you have all the knowledge and skills required!
Knowing how to drive your vessel in differing conditions safely and then being able to berth it taking into account tide and wind influences is vital.

Our Safety for All course covers the “what to do” and “how to do it” for emergency situations that may occur at any time onboard. The Safety for All course includes but is not limited to:

This course is vital for all boat owners, new and existing to ensure they have the knowledge and skills required to deal with an emergency onboard and is delivered onboard your boat!
We highly recommend both of these course to help you in your boat handling ability and safety conscious not only for yourself but also your family, friends and other boaters!
Why not put both courses together and take advantage of our great deal saving you money whilst expanding your knowledge and skills!

A great tip is to further expand your knowledge by taking our Distress Flare course (available Australia wide) and our Portable Fire Extinguisher course (available in Southeast Queensland only).
Both courses are hands-on where you actually get to let off a distress flare and/or a fire extinguisher giving you firsthand knowledge in the use of both.
