Testimonials

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

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,

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 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,

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

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.

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!

Thanks you Wayne for your course last week. I started as someone who had never been on a boat before and left as someone who has the knowledge and skills to confidently drive a boat. Wayne is lovely, helpful, knowledgeable and extremely passionate about safe boating. I would recommend Wayne and Sea Soaring Marine without hesitation, you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Wayne!

Wayne was a great trainer, just recently got my skippers ticket in Karratha, wasnt just a tick and flick course. Good course content and very engaging and knowledgeable. Thanks again.

Hello Wayne

Thank you for a wonderful day. The kids and I loved the day. Great thing to do together and your instruction made it not daunting at all. Really appreciate the skipper’s ticket experience you offer.

Kind Regards,

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.
