When : Courses are available 7 days a week.

Where : We operate from Victorica Point VMR - Masters Avenue, Victoria Point.

On the Day Information : We start at 7am and complete the Boat Licensing around 1.30pm.

Course and Assessment Information : We will cover a number of classroom subjects which qualify you for attainment of a Recreational Marine Drivers Licence (RMDL). Now for the fun stuff; we will be on the water for a mimimum of 3 hours in our Government approved licensing vessel, "Assessor". We will run through a number of manoeuvring techniques and demonstrations.

Jet ski training is done on our Sea doo GTI 130. You require a boat licence prior to undertaking a Personal Water Craft Licence (PWCL)

We can also provide Gift Vouchers that are individualised for the person's birthday, Christmas, Fathers Day etc.

Identification : A driver's licence is the ideal form of ID. If you don't have a driver's licence you will need two forms of ID such as passport, birth certificate, student photo card, Medicare card, government identity card or bank/ credit/debit card.

Health Declaration : It is a Queensland Transport requirement that you sign a declaration that you are fit and well enough to participate in the boat practical session. If you are under 16 you will need a parent, or guardian, to do this. If your parent, or guardian, is unable to attend the training venue, please advise us and we can email an electronic copy that can be signed beforehand and brought to the training session.

Support : If you experience literacy / numeracy problems, please don't hesitate to contact us prior to the course and we will deliver the course in a more appropriate way to suit your needs. Our instructors are all qualified in adult training and assessment and are able to assist you through the process.

Licence requirements : The age to obtain a Boat Licence is 16; upon successful completion of the BoatSafe course you will be issued a Statement of Competency. Since the Statement of Competency is valid for 6 months we regularly have 15 and a half year olds doing their training so they can get their licence on their birthday.

When you present your Statement of Competency to a Queensland Transport Centre you will be updated on the computer as being licensed for a fee, and no further testing is done. The same procedure is followed for PWC Licence. An eyesight test is required if you don't hold a current driver's licence.

When your licence is replaced rather than re endorsed, the new card will show RMDL and/or PWCL. If you don't have a Drivers licence you will be recorded on the computer and receive a receipt as proof of being licensed.

Privacy Policy : The identity information provided for licensing purposes will be held by Bayside Boat Licensing and will not be used for any other purpose without written permission.
