bigway 4 #1 February 24, 2008 Any of you Aussies have a boat license? I have lots of reading materials and have owned a boat most of my life. The thing is I have never needed a boat license. I am wondering what your australian experiences are at getting the boat license and what i need to focus on for the test etc. I am looking at buying a boat, however first i need my boat license as I am going to take this boat i am looking at buying for a test run. We have been given permission to take it up to Sydneys northern beaches for a weekend and going to go have a weekend of wake boarding/fishing etc. Any useful information regarding the australian boat license test from people who have first hand experience sitting it would be great to hear. Thanks. .Karnage Krew Gear Store . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #2 February 24, 2008 they vary state by state, I have one for WA, but it's probably a different process for NSW. I had to get VALIDATED "time up" beofre i could go for my skippers ticket. there are differing clases here inWA so you will need ot check with the NSW guys to find out what tickets are needed for what class of vessels. the bottom rung here is "Small Craft Proficiency" which allows you to skipper small craft in inladn and near shore waters. Edit to add____________ Pretty bloody easy to find ya lazt KIWIand this one too slacker You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
