Tristian was great, he taught us so much in a span of less than 3 hours on our boat. He showed what was most important about boat safety and to manoeuvre our first large vessel. Highly recommend Tristian and Boat wise.
Had a great lesson with Tristian learning how to adapt to driving a dual engine boat. It was very helpful and I learned a lot. Tristian was calm and patient and he explained and demonstrated things well. Money well spent.
Back in late 22 and jan 2023 I was new to larger cruisers and needed to master the skills and confidence required to return my 42ft cruiser to its birth down a narrow fairway at my Mariner in range of wind conditions . My first attempt without training and before lessons with Tristian Mooney were incredibly stressful . I needed our dockmaster in the tender to assist and felt other owners running to protect their precious boats . I also was blessed to have two young strong family men onboard to fend me off other stationary vessels . Incredibly stressful. I made a pack with myself that I must get professional guidance and training to master the skills required . I have successfully returned to my birth now 88 times … sometimes perfectly but there are different challenges as Every time the wind and the tides are different . Thanks to the skills shared by Tristian Mooney of BOAT Wise and the videos I captured in my lessons I have Tristian over my shoulder as I approach my fairway and berth. I highly recommend Boatwise . Boat Captain's must master many different skills and procedures.Boat Wise training with Tristian Mooney will give you the skills and confidence you need to arrive back home at your berth safely .
Tristan from Boatwise is very patient, kind and very friendly. He has built up my skills and confidence in boating, he taught me how to berth, approach the fuel wharf, pick up a mooring, and most importantly I was finally able to understand the underlying principals behind how wind affects the boat's behaviour under different circumstances. I think it's 100% money well spent and makes boating much more pleasurable and less stressful at the same time. Thank you again Tristan 🙏🙏
Just want to thank Boat Wise for a great day. I found the trainer to be very supportive and helpful in figuring out the things I didn’t quite understand. I would highly recommend Boat Wise to anyone looking to get into boating and getting licensed.
Tristan from Boat Wise was amazing! His technical knowledge and ability to navigate us through the course of the day was top-notch and I'd highly recommend him and his team to aid you in not only obtaining your boat license but any course work too.
