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.

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.

One of the best training I have had. Goes that extra step to help you pass. More than just a skippers ticket

Dear Wayne,
Paul enjoyed the course immensely. He said you were a great teacher and it takes quite a lot to impress Paulley! He loved it so much, he was at the boat ramp when I left this afternoon watching the boats come in! Thank you very much and yes our stay and the weather was fantastic- whatever the season we enjoyed it so much.
Thanks again,

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

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
Thank you for being very patient with me. I really learnt a lot, surprised myself with the skills at gracetown and feel a lot more confident in practicing with our barcrusher!
Thank you for the photos. You can use my pictures 🙂 you are a great teacher.
Enjoy your trip. Kind regards,
Katie

Wayne and Viv,
Many thanks for your training and assessment I undertook today. To find a team like you with a passion and love of what they do is a real hoot. Trust our paths cross again some day.

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,

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.

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!
Cheers,
