Local, experienced trainers
Our trainers teach on the Pumicestone Passage, Maroochy River and Noosa River every week. You learn from people who work these waterways, not from a script.

We make getting your boat or jet ski licence simple, friendly and genuinely local. Experienced Sunshine Coast trainers, modern gear, and the same course at every location.
Sunshine Coast Boat Licences is powered by ABC Boating, part of the Australian Boating College network, but everything happens right here on your local water. You get the backing of a national training name and the feel of a small local crew who train at Caloundra, Maroochydore and Noosa every week.
You get the same course, the same price and the same qualification at all three locations, so pick the one that is easiest to reach. Choose the course that suits you, book the nearest base, and spend one hands-on day on sheltered water.
Everything is set up so a first-timer arrives at the assessment knowing what it asks of them, on sheltered local water.
Our trainers teach on the Pumicestone Passage, Maroochy River and Noosa River every week. You learn from people who work these waterways, not from a script.
You train on well-kept ABC Boating boats and Sea-Doo jet skis with all safety gear provided, so your first time on the water is on equipment you can trust.
We keep groups small so you get real time at the helm and plenty of one-on-one help, which is exactly what beginners need to feel confident.
