Why choose us?

Training by some of the best in the business. Years of experience with a huge focus on safety and safe boating. The training is completed in one day. Nothing else do to but take your application form to Service NSW.

One day boat licence

Complete your training in just one day with a program that balances fun with practical skill-building. You’ll start on the water to master the test requirements before receiving your certificate by the afternoon. Once finished, simply present our form to Service NSW or Maritime to claim your licence—no further testing required.

Boat licence including practical

Learn from the industry’s best to develop lifelong safe boating habits. Our team includes veterans and senior maritime trainers with extensive experience in offshore oil and gas vessels. Don't settle for amateur instruction; book with Master Boat Licence to gain professional insights from the experts who keep our waters safe.

Starting with no experience

Whether you’re a total beginner or an aspiring skipper, we’ll guide you through navigation, collision avoidance, and safety compliance. We only ask that you review the boating handbook via the link above before your session. This ensures we can spend the day refining your skills and filling in the blanks rather than starting from zero.
