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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Wayne. I am still a buzz with the info session you rolled out to me today. I cannot believe I remembered so much and am thankful I booked my skippers ticket through your company. I would also like to thank you both for your hospitality today. I will be spreading the word as much as I can.
Kind Regards,

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.

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,

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!

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,

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.
