Train with Purpose on Our Custom Built Training Vessel
Our 6.5 m Gemini WaveRider was custom built specifically for practical powerboat training on Sydney Harbour.
Its open layout gives your instructor clear visibility and allows you to practise slow speed control, docking, marina manoeuvring, anchoring, wind management and emergency procedures in a safe and controlled environment.
You can build real confidence at the helm without placing your own boat at risk, then take those skills back to your vessel.

A great few hours on the water with Tristian. He was able
to help me improve my docking skills and gave me the knowledge to understand the dynamics of the boat. Not only is he a good instructor, he was calm and confident and a nice guy too! He’s in high demand so book him ASAP.
