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.
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
Firstly thanks for the excellent training course today on the recreational skippers ticket. I sincerely enjoyed learning from you and feel more confident taking a boat out there. I must say you’re an excellent teacher because you made everything easy to understand and follow. Mate, I’m really glad I met you that day at Dampier boat ramp! Once again thanks for your help.
Regards
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.
Cheers,

Great day in the classroom and on the water. Wayne is a terrific teacher and assessor and made the whole process enjoyable, entertaining and enciteful. Thanks mate
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
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,
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
Hi Wayne, how are ya,
I was just checking the pigeons and thought it was a good moment to thank you for the great course yesterday. Particularly the boat launch. Now I can show my son, Django, some good methods for the operation. Django expects to meet you in one year and two months .
Hope to catch up with you sometimes,
Regards

Wayne recently put 4, 14 year old boys through this course and he was brilliant. They all successfully passed and thoroughly enjoyed their day
My husband and I went through Sea Soaring to get our skippers, could not recommend Wayne highly enough! Such an informative, knowledgeable, reassuring and patient instructor who clearly knows his stuff.
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,
