I just completed a four-hour training session with Captain Tristian and already feel confident enough to drive the boat on my own. He was friendly, patient and very practical, taking enough time to explain everything in detail, including all the boat controls. His experience and guidance were excellent. Highly recommended!
Tristian has been a marvellous and very patient boating tutor. It's been very enjoyable working with him. My boating skills and confidence have improved enormously. He has been very helpful in ensuring warranty issues and improvements on my boat are completed. Highly recommend.
Tristian has been great at inspiring confidence in driving my boat. He is knowledgable, encouraging, and has the perfect temperament to help you stay calm and in control in a situation which would otherwise be quite stressful.
I upgraded to a 9m boat from a 5m one. Tristan was able to give myself and my partner the ability to dock, take up a mooring single handed and to anchor effectively. His patience humour and ability to explain things clearly made all the difference.
I had an excellent experience with Tristan. He was professional extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire course. He explained everything clearly and made sure I understood everything before moving further. His calm and encouraging approach gave me the confidence to operate a boat safely and responsibly. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their boat licence. If you’re after an instructor who genuinely cares about his students success and safety, you won’t find anyone better. Thank you for making the learning experience enjoyable and helping me pass with confidence! Thank you once again Mohamed
My wife & I had a fabulous 4 hour introductory boat skills course with skipper Dave. Seamlessly arranged through Tristian and Boat Wise. We learnt skills in confidently docking our boat, cardinal markers, safe waterway rules and assessing environmental factors. Will definitely be booking more courses and continue to gain confidence on the water.
Absolutely essential service if you want to learn how to efficiently and SAFELY operate your new boat. I can’t thank Tristan enough for the help and support that he has provided my family and I. With Tristan’s cleare concise and no nonsense approach, he has helped my confident skyrocket when operating my boat, especially when it comes to docking. Tristan’s knowledge on the water truly is priceless, and the best part about Tristan, is that he’s offering his experience and skills for anyone who truly wants to operate safely and efficiently on the water. 10 star service, highly recommended!
I would highly recommend doing the day Boat course with Tristian. His knowledge and experience on the water was invaluable and as I am a newly licensed boat owner it gave me the confidence I needed.
Brilliant service! Tristan and Dave were absolutely professional, gave clear instructions, always followed up and made things all simple. Highly recommended!
A truly memorable day on the harbour despite the pouring rain, as Tristian gave us wonderful & worthwhile lessons in boating & navigation . Even if you feel you’re fairly experienced as I did, I highly recommend engaging Tristian as you’ll quickly realise there’s so much more to know or brush up on .
I can’t recommend Tristan and the Boatwise crew highly enough. As a first-time boat owner, I was looking for guidance, knowledge, and confidence, and Tristan has delivered all of that and more. He has taken the time to ensure both my teenage daughter and I feel comfortable, capable, and safe on the water. His patience, professionalism, and practical approach to teaching have made our boating journey enjoyable and stress-free. Thanks to Tristan and the Boatwise team, we now have the confidence to get out there and make the most of our boat. If you’re new to boating or looking to build your skills and confidence, Boatwise is the team to call.
I recently completed my boat licence course with this maritime training provider, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The trainers were highly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. The theory and practical components were delivered efficiently within the same day, making the course both convenient and engaging. The practical training was excellent, providing clear instructions and hands-on experience that helped build my confidence on the water. The theory sessions were also well-structured, easy to follow, and covered all the essential information required to operate a vessel safely. Thanks to their professional approach and quality training, I successfully completed the course and obtained my boat licence on the same day. I highly recommend this training provider to anyone looking to obtain their boat licence in a professional, friendly, and well-organised environment. Thank you to the entire team for a great experience! 🚤⚓
