MAST is committed to providing accessible and easy-to-use information and services for all Tasmanians and visitors enjoying our waterways.
Whether you’re looking for information about motor boat licences, PWC endorsements, motor boat registrations, mooring permits, or other boating services, MAST is here to help. Our online registration and licence fee calculators can also help you understand the fees and requirements before you apply.
If you can’t find the form or information you’re looking for, please get in touch, and we’ll help you find the right information and services as quickly as possible.
MAST licence fees comprise several components. The fee charged will depend on an applicant’s age, the type of licence applied for, e.g. licence only or licence with a PWC endorsement or a PWC endorsement only for those who already hold a valid Motor Boat Licence.
Licence fee: a variable fee based on the number of days to the common licence expiry date for all licences (currently 30 June 2027).
PWC endorsement fee (Licence fee): variable fee based on the number of days to a common expiry date for all endorsed licences (currently 30 June 2027).
MAST Fee calculator
The calculators below will help you estimate the fee payable. Service Tasmania staff located in Service Tasmania centres can also help you calculate the fee payable on the actual day your Evidence of Identity check is undertaken, and your payment is processed.
To calculate the fee payable, simply select licence category to be paid. This can be a licence only, a licence with a PWC endorsement (if you have completed the endorsement course at the same time as the licence course) or for those who already hold a licence and have completed the PWC endorsement, select the PWC endorsement.
Enter your date of birth. For licence applicants under 17 years of age, only the application fee is payable. For full licence holders, a licence fee (and PWC Endorsement fee if applicable) is payable.
Enter the anticipated date of payment and the calculate button – the indicative fee payable will then be displayed.
New licence holders may choose to pay an additional fee of $5.00 for a plastic licence card.
