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.

Hi Wayne
Just wanted to say a big thank you for the great experience yesterday. I have to say I learnt so much more about boating and the ocean than I had imagined. Needless to say I will be recommending your services to friends. Hope to see on the water (in a non emergency way!)
Kind regards,

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.

Hey!!! Just wanted to say how amazing today was. It was a pleasure to learn new stuff from you and to not feel like a dick when asking a question. Your lessons were very informative and I feel very confident to be able to take out my boat tomorrow. You did not belittle me as a woman ( surprisingly it does happen a lot these days ). Thank you so much. Will def recommend you to other people.

Hi Wayne,
Just a quick note to thank you very much for Saturday, I know everybody in our group, thoroughly enjoyed it and glad they all passed. We were all pretty nervous as none of us had done tests for many years.

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.

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

Getting a skippers ticket with Wayne is great value for money. Could not be a better experience. So much more than ticks in the box for a license.
I can launch and drive a boat yet learned so many new things. He generously shares his 30+ years experience with many best practices for boat ownership and maintenance as well as tips for getting the boat in and out of the water.
You won’t be disappointed!

Today I had the pleasure of doing my Skippers Ticket with Wayne from Sea Soaring Marine. Not only does this bloke know his stuff, he individually tailors his approach so that not a single person is left behind not matter their experience level.
Absolutely first rate from the moment you enter Wayne’s classroom to the moment you step off his boat. Thanks Wayne, I cannot recommend you and your service highly enough. Not just an informative and educational day, but bloody fun as well. Cheers mate.

Good evening Wayne
Firstly, thank you for your time and patience in delivering the assessment information for my RST. I actually learnt a great deal and gained confidence. I’m glad I chose your delivery method with the extra information that will help with ramp etiquette, maintenance, safety methods and procedures and general common sense. You succeeded in teaching me that boating really does require a specific and focused mindset.
Thanks again,

Thank you so much Wayne & Viv – what a top day and now with all your invaluable experience, guidance, amazing support & most importantly, awesome training, we feel ready & confident to go boating (safely) ourselves!! We’re very grateful & appreciative. We will definitely be highly recommending your services to others. Thanks again (& for the laughs). Cheers Nic & Stu

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,
Jon Arnold ( May 2020 )
