Doing your Maritime Safety Queensland, and Boatsafe approved PWCL (Jetski licence) course, you couldn’t be in better hands than with Licence to Boat. Our simple step-by-step system helps you through the requirements needed for your licence. Our online theory course allows you to learn the required information at home (or work!)
Located on the Maroochy River, Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast.
Step 1. Your Onboard Learning, online theory course, walks you through the required information for your licence assessment test. You can do it at home, at your own pace (up to 4 weeks).
Step 2. Attend a training and assessment day for both your theory and practical knowledge.
Step 3. Using your knowledge gained from the online theory course, our instructors will patiently and professionally train you in both the practical and theory components. Once you are confident and capable enough you can attempt your assessments.
Step 4. Assessment time! Take a deep breath and put all you have learnt together.
- Simple to follow step-by-step online theory.
- Practical and Theory training and assessment can be completed in a few hours.
- Small course sizes, Max 3 (groups by arrangement).
- More time on the water and less in the classroom! (That’s got to be good!)
- Start your course today, have your licence tomorrow!
You MUST already have an RMDL Boat Licence to take this course. If you don’t already have a boat licence you should take our Combined Course.

I have driven friends boats from tinnies to large Rivieras. But i have remained scared. Tomorrow i get to drive my own tinnie for the first time and i have been so nervous for 25 years since i wanted a boat. Of course a morning on the water doesn't beat years of actual experience, but we all have to start somewhere. Mike is seriously engaged in getting everyone on the water with the skills, confidence and knowledge to do it safely. The practical course was very enjoyable. Mike is extremely affable. It was what i learnt from Mike in that morning that has given me the confidence to get out there on my own.read more
