Hi Wayne,

I would just like to say a big thank you to you for your time and effort with Trae on Saturday!!!! He thought you were a “top bloke” and thoroughly enjoyed his day with you.

He certainly came home with lots of stories to tell after a fun day on the water!!

Many thanks,

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,

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,

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.

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.

Megan Warr - June 2016

Thank you so much Wayne & Viv – what a top day and now with all your invaluable experience, guidance, amazing support & most importantly, awesome training, we feel ready & confident to go boating (safely) ourselves!! We’re very grateful & appreciative. We will definitely be highly recommending your services to others. Thanks again (& for the laughs). Cheers Nic & Stu
