WA Learner's Guide FAQ

Why do we need training before getting a Boat licence?

To get a Recreational Skippers Ticket you must complete and pass the Recreational Skippers Ticket course (or have a recognised interstate or overseas marine licence)

Furthermore,

• Time spent on the water will develop skills, knowledge and confidence when operating a vessel and help prevent accidents on the waterways.
• Boating offers fun, excitement, relaxation and social activity away from our busy lifestyle. Its popularity means more people with more boats, which suggest more dangers, like collision and swamping.
• Most people want to find out how to respond in an emergency. They want to protect the family, friends and assets. They choose a registered training organisation to quickly learn the rules, how to drive the boat and dock, and achieve their licence without any fuss.

How do I renew my marine licence?

Once you have your WA Recreational Skipper's Ticket you do not need to renew it as it is valid for life.
