Just finished and had an amazing experience with ABC Boating. The course was incredibly well-structured and informative, combining practical experience on the boat with navigation training, all in one day. I was able to complete both my PWC and boat licences, which was super convenient. The price is very reasonable, especially considering the focus on safety and the expert knowledge shared throughout the session. After the practical, we went through the theory in a straightforward and easy to follow manner, ensuring we fully understood the content. Big shoutout to the team at ABC Boating for their professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to get their licences or improve their boating skills. Fantastic job. Thank you Todd and Adam
The practical part of the course was a great learning experience and fun with Steve. The theory part was efficient and effective. Steve and Adam are highly knowledgeable and helpful with a friendly and professional manner. Thank you
Steve & Todd great instructors, they show amazing enthusiasm to your learning and have a want for you to pass
My 14 year old daughter and I did the course today and Todd and Phil were excellent. We had Todd for the practical part and he was great at teaching us how the boat works and safety on the harbour. He pointed out things we should now and emphasised things that are always on the test to help us pass. The theory part of the day also helped to reinforce the knowledge we had learnt all to help us pass the test which we both did. Thank you! I would definitely recommend ABC Boating, they were great and made it a fun day!
Learned a lot also had fun, especially thankful to both coatches paid extra patience and support to English as 2nd language learner. Recommend to all.
What a fantastic course! A jam packed day of learning started with the practical experience exercises which I was very nervous about. Adam was really clear and encouraging and gave me the confidence to complete the assigned tasks. The classroom segment conducted by Todd was thorough and really reinforced the critical concepts. Very pleased to have passed with full marks - I don’t think I could have achieved this without the very structured training provided. Thanks to both Adam and Todd for an excellent day and for helping with other boat related queries.
Great practical and theoretical instruction today in Sydney from Adam & Todd, resulting in a first-attempt 100% score in the test. What more could one ask for?
Great experience on the water with a highly skilled instructor. Classroom lecture and test preparation was highly effective. Got my boat and PWC license very fast. Great price and highly recommended.
I took my 14 year old son for a day of practical and theoretical instruction and finally the exam for his boat and PWC licence last Saturday. The weather was not fantastic but the instructors were! My son enjoyed the practical part a lot and tolerated the theory; he is very nervous around exams but the team at ABC put him to ease and he passed both! We scurried off to the RMS and he now has his paper license and eagerly awaiting the real one in the post as soon as possible. Adam, Justin and the team at ABC were outstanding - they put the entire class of older adults, younger adults, teens and 12 year olds at ease with the content and what to expect in the exam - almost everyone I saw there passed. With the standard of the instruction and a bit of pre-reading this course is fantastic - the absolute added bonus is that there are no additional log book hours required. Do it!
Outstanding Training Experience – The Best Boat Trainers!I can’t say enough about the exceptional training I received from these boat trainers. From the moment I began my lessons, it was clear that they were not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about what they do. They made every aspect of boating easy to understand, breaking down even the most complex concepts into clear, manageable steps.Their patience and attention to detail ensured that I always felt confident and well-prepared at every stage of the learning process. They took the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure I understood the reasoning behind each maneuver and safety procedure. Their teaching style is both practical and thorough, and I always felt supported, no matter how many questions I asked.What truly sets them apart is their ability to make learning enjoyable. They fostered a positive and relaxed atmosphere, which made all the difference in keeping me motivated and engaged. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for boating made the entire experience memorable and fun.I am now more confident on the water, thanks to their top-tier training. If you are looking for the best boat trainers, I highly recommend them—they are the best people to learn from!
Adam and the team were fantastic it was a great day. Adam was kind enough to come out and teach us on our boat. I highly recommend their services.
Did my boat license and jet ski course. Was very informative and enjoyable. My teacher Todd had good energy and was a pleasure to learn from 🙌
As a boat person of 30 years I found the course amazingly helpful.I forgot to renew my licence so had to start all over again.The course went at a good pace for all and made the day interesting and fun. The instructors were great and absolutely supportive to all. We had 15 year olds and 40 year olds in same class and it worked.This course is exactly what you need for safe boating on sydney harbour or elsewhere.I think it should be mandatory every 5 years for anyone who has a vessel.
I cannot recommend ABC enough for their professionalism and genuine care for your success in the course. The team goes above and beyond to ensure you have the support and resources needed to excel. Truly a fantastic experience.
Exceptional course, it's easy to follow and understand. The tips they gave made the test much easier
The instructor was very firendly and thorough! It was a lovely day to spend on a water and learn. I felt much more confident in passing the boating test and taking the boat on the water.
Really well organised, starting early at Tunks Park boat ramp. Our boat was super clean, our instructor was really experienced, good fun and explained everything so it was easy to understand. I can highly recommend ABC if you are ready to take your boating & PWC licence course.
Was a great day out and would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to enjoy boating and understand the rules of the water. Thank you!
Had a great experience with those guys!learned everything easly with their tips!I would recommend!

Adam, thank you. You are an amazing instructor. Would highly recommend you to any of my friends. Keep it up ABC team.

What happens in the Boat Lessons?
Once you’ve got your NSW Boating Licence there may be specific skills that you’d like to work on, covering topics from trailer handling to mechanical maintenance.
Private lessons are flexible and are customised to meet your requirements to ensure you feel comfortable out on the water.
Do you help with my type of vessel?
We can offer our training on all types of vessels!
Whether you’ve got a 2m/7ft Mini Tinny or a 15m/50ft Cruiser, we’ll be able to show you the ropes.
Where do you do the boating lessons?
We can travel all over the Sydney area, and our trainers have experience in all the major waterways.
To begin the lessons we’ll typically meet you at the boat ramp, marina wharf, or mooring tender pickup point.
Alternatively, if you’d like to use an ABC vessel we can travel to any convenient waterway around Sydney to help you with your training needs, so long as there’s a good ramp nearby (find a boat ramp here).
When do you book in the lessons?
The easiest days to organise personalised boating lessons are midweek on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday.
We are able to do your lessons on weekends or other days, however these are subject to trainer availability.
You can most easily lock in a date if you get in early!
How many students can join the lessons?
Most often there is only one student in the boat driving lesson.
However, we can have more along as observers or to participate.
Please note that this will increase the duration of the lesson, so we suggest only two people participating in the lesson to ensure best outcomes.
How do I book my boating lessons?
Just use the enquiry button below to get in touch, and let us know what you’d like to get out of your lesson.
We’ll get back to you during business hours and get you sorted!
