How to obtain a personal water craft endorsement?

To operate a Personal Watercraft (PWC) in Tasmania, you must hold a current motor boat licence and to obtain a motorboat licence, you will need to attend a MAST BoatSafe practical tuition course. These courses are run by Accredited providers.

 

Once you have a motor boat licence, you can then obtain a PWC endorsement. A PWC endorsement is only gained by successfully completing a PWC Practical Course with an accredited provider. Fees apply for the PWC endorsement.
