Hi Wayne, just wanted to commend you on delivering an excellent course for us today. You are obviously a wealth of knowledge in this area. You have a unique way of getting the message across. Well done. It was nice meeting you and your wife this morning. I would not hesitate in recommending you to people. PS I enjoy listening to you on the radio some mornings. Thanks again. Regards Ashley.

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.

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!

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!

Wayne is amazing! Having very little baiting experience I was worried about going but his easy going nature made class and passing a breeze. Very informative and teaches you all the little things that will help with safe boating.
Thanks mate! 10/10 from me…

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,

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!
