Have just completed my Recreational Skippers Ticket with Wayne. (30th December 2019).
Highly recommend Wayne and Sea Soaring Marine to anybody wishing to obtain this qualification.
Exceptionally professional, theory section of course delivered in an easy to understand format and the practical completed in a very well equipped and new boat that enhanced the experience.
Wayne expected high standards of group prior to passing which added to experience.
Wayne’s knowledge and previous experience in the field also ensured class time was enjoyable and I learnt a lot during the day.
Thanks Wayne for a fantastic day.

G’day Wayne. Just wanted to thank you for a great day yesterday. It was extremely informative and fun! We all had a ball. We look forward to seeing you on the water ( but hopefully you not rescuing us! ) ha ha
Kind regards

Wayne is an exceptional educator, and conducts a fantastic training course to achieve the Skippers ticket. Highly recommend if you are starting out with no experience. Thanks Wayne

Hi Wayne,
Thanks again for the great learning experience yesterday. You truly are a very passionate and knowledgeable bloke and I’m so glad that I completed my RST with Sea Soaring Marine. Myself, Aimee, Mike, and Big Al all agreed that the experience was priceless and certainly “more than just a skipper’s ticket” as you so rightfully said.
My confidence in skippering a vessel has increased and I can’t wait to get out on the water with my family to enjoy the Blackwood river and Geographe bay in particular.
All the best for your time up north and good luck with your future endeavours. Say hello to Wilson for me and thanks once again for your tuition and good times yesterday.
Cheers,

Hey mate just some positive feedback from today’s course. It was awesome, even from someone who has been on boats before. I learnt some good information. Appreciate it, cheers

Hi Wayne,
I am sorry I didn’t get back to the room to see you before you left.
I just wanted to thank you for the training – some of the most useful and enjoyable training I have ever done.
I loved the way you got everyone involved and interacting.
Anyway – thanks again mate and well done!

The VHF training I completed today with Wayne was very well delivered. His knowledge, experience and engaging teaching style made the day an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend any of the marine course’s Sea Soaring have to offer.

Wayne, you were as good as your word and delivered a great programme on Saturday morning with considerable patience in the afternoon. Congratulations on your professionalism-you obviously care about safety on the water and are passionate about what you do in passing on your knowledge.
Thanks and all the best.

From initial conversation to booking to information sent dealing with Wayne has been a pleasure. The actual day of theory and practical with 7 of us in attendance from ages 14 to 47 was professional, informative, fun, relatable and clear. Wayne uses both visual and written methods and completes the day with a positive, calm approach and great of humour. The Sea Soaring II (yep Wayne we remembered the name of the boat 
) was beautifully maintained. Thank u Wayne for a gr8 day – absolutely recommend you anywhere anytime
See u on the water!

Hi Wayne, how are ya,
I was just checking the pigeons and thought it was a good moment to thank you for the great course yesterday. Particularly the boat launch. Now I can show my son, Django, some good methods for the operation. Django expects to meet you in one year and two months .
Hope to catch up with you sometimes,
Regards
Dean

Just did a refresher course with Wayne and really had a great time. He brought back so many things I had forgotten and taught me a lot of new boating skills. This guy really knows his stuff, so is you haven’t got a skippers ticket or need to know about boats, contact him, you’ll be glad you did.

I can’t recommend the Skippers Ticket Training course at Sea Soaring Marine highly enough. Wayne is an excellent instructor with a wealth of experience in sea rescue and recreational boating. I finished the course much more confident that I can keep my family safe on the water and plan appropriately. If you are thinking of getting your RST and want to be safe as well as legal, give Wayne a call.
