How to Obtain a Boat License
We recommend our clients to a company called "Boat School" at Docklands. You attend a night course and receive a certifictate which is then presente to Vic Roads to get your license, so easy!
Getting your Boat Licence is simple if you take the time to learn the Boating Safety Course. Once you have completed a Boating Safety Course you will then be eligible to sit the Victorian Maritime Licence Test. Below you will find the different ways to go through the Boating Safety Course and then sit your test so you can starting boating immediately with Pleasure Cruising Club, Docklands. Instead of a boat rental or boat hire arrangment and be limited to driving a boat at speeds less than 10 knots , being fully licensed you experience true boating with luxury sports cruisers.
Note that you require a Licence for both General Boating and Personal Watercrafts (PWC) which are crafts such as Jetskis. It is illiegal to operate a PWC with ONLY a General Boat Licence as there are different rules are regulations that govern both activities.
Applicants wishing to upgrade their existing General Boating Licence to a PWC Licence are not required to provide evidence of practical experience and need only comply with PWC Boating Safety Course and PWC licence test requirements.
IT WILL BE COMPULSORY SOON TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF PRACTICAL BOATING EXPERIENCE BEFORE YOUR LICENCE TEST(S) CAN BE ATTEMPTED.
