Skippers Tickets in Maylands

At Maylands Boat Ramp on Clarkson Rd, Belmont Ski Area, Katanning Street Bayswater, Slade Street Bayswater and Pickering Park Bassendean, Perth Boat School accommodates students’ needs all year round, 7 days a week.

Located at the river, you can grab a coffee from the cafe on Peninsular Rd before heading in for the theory component. We keep the theory as quick and easy as possible, leaving more time to spend on the water. Once the theory is completed, you will jump onto the boat for the skippers tickets practical.

We offer you the choice of using your own boat or using one of ours (for free) to do your skippers ticket. Perth Boat School has lots of assessors and boats available at Maylands Boat Ramp, meaning that you can choose a time and date that is convenient to you. We run multiple Skippers tickets at the same time (multiple assessors on multiple boats) and keep the group sizes small so that you’re not sitting around waiting.

Less time sitting in a classroom, more time to spend on the water

Perth Boat School understands that you don’t want to be waiting around, sitting in a classroom listening to a trainer. If you have just become the proud owner of a new boat (or have a mate who is) and are keen to get out on the water, you can do your Skippers Ticket immediately. Book a course with us, (book here) and we will have someone meet you at the ramp when you first take it out for a spin.
Our experts at Perth Boat School will assist to launch the boat, show you the best way to set up and handle the ropes and all the other basics that you are going to need to know.

Once our assessor has “shown you the ropes” and you have reached a certain level of confidence, you will be assessed for your recreational skippers ticket “anywhere / anytime”. As soon as you complete the assessment, the Assessor will give you an interim RST certificate and you are free to take your boat out as a legal skipper – then and there, straight away.

This flexibility means that if you want a peaceful relaxing lesson, choose a time when there aren’t many boaters. Choose a weekday, a Sunday or early before work on a weekday before it gets too hot and windy. Or if you have left it to the last minute and just want to get it done, we can help you there too.

We have many Skippers Ticket Assessors and a range of boats, so if you book a date and time we will coordinate an assessor to meet you there.

All of this should only take about 2 hours if you have studied using the Free Skippers Ticket App by iiCAPTAIN and can handle your boat safely (it’s NOT a skill test – it’s more about boating safety).

Be a Better Boater

If you are wanting to learn more about how to handle your boat or how to take your boat to somewhere that you have never been, you should check out our range of boat handling courses. Although there is an hour of practical training included with the basic Skippers Ticket Combo, Perth Boat School provide a range of boat handling courses suitable for ANY level of experience on ANY type of boat. Whether you are a beginner and would like an expert to show you how to reverse a trailer, or have years of experience, remove the stress that comes with taking out your new boat for the first time and get one of Perth’s most experienced Captains to show you how it’s done.
