Practical (Safety Course)
The practical courses in Sydney are conducted at Rose Bay, Botany Bay and Manly in our training powered vessel with a qualified instructor, covering all the main elements of boat handling, manoeuvring and all aspects of boating safety as outlined by N.S.W Maritime.
After our safety induction to the boat and a demonstration of the pracitcal skills to be assessed, each student must drive the vessel for a minimum of 15 minutes, therefore the practical training runs for 1 - 3 hours depending on how many students are on board.
A risk assessment of the conditions is performed before starting any practical training session. If the conditions on the day are considered to be a risk to the safety of the students (wind, temperature, wave height, etc), the course will be cancelled and students will be informed by the fastest means possible (most likely text message or call). All students will be offered a transfer to another date without any charge.
Students should bring (depending on weather conditions):
- Hat
- Sunglasses
- Raincoats
- Jackets
- Bottle of water
- Food for lunch
Please view this video about preparing your vessel before launching at the boat ramp.
