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,

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,

Wayne is an excellent teacher, he made our day enjoyable and informative. We all felt we learnt a lot, even those that had been on the water for years. I highly recommend investing in Sea Soaring Marine!

I really enjoyed your class – it was well run and I learnt a few extra things to keep my crew on their toes.

See you in Gracetown or back up here.

Thank you Wayne for today you did a fantastic job. I was very impressed what a great little business you have got. My wife and daughter, she is only 12, if you haven’t already retired in a couple of years, will send them to do the course. Once again thank you- Mark Fitzgerald

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.
