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.

Powered by ABC Boating
A National Name, Run By Locals
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.
