Winter may be upon us but it’s still a beautiful time of year to go boating.  The water is actually much calmer because the wind drops.  Just remember to take a jacket with you next time you head out on the pristine Gold Coast waterways.

Make sure you don’t miss out and book today to ensure you have your boat and jetski licence in time for the Easter holidays.  The Water Police will be patrolling our waterways during the holidays so don’t end up paying a fine – a course is cheaper!

Course dates still available are 20th, 27th and 28th March.

Due to recent heavy rainfall waterways are currently carrying lots of debris, including logs and rubbish.  Also, note that crab pots may have shifted due to stronger than normal currents.  If you do go out boating, take extra care to avoid possible damage to your vessel.  Remember to keep a proper lookout.

After having your boat/motor serviced, make sure you give it a trial run on the water – before venturing out on a longer trip.

You have to be 16 years of age in order to have a boat and  jet ski licence.  However, you can attend the course up to six weeks before your 16th birthday.  You must wait until your birthday to present the Certificate of Competency at any Queensland Transport Department.

Once you have obtained your Certificate of Competency for a boat and/or jetski licence, you must present this to any Queensland Transport Department within six months of date of issue.
