Having the boat is one thing. Actually feeling confident driving it is another.

If docking still makes you nervous, you’re not comfortable manoeuvring in tight marinas, or there are parts of your boat you still don’t fully understand, we can help.

We train you onboard your own boat, in your own marina, working on the situations you actually deal with.

Docking, wind and current, anchoring around the harbour, passage planning, navigation, onboard systems, power management, knots, lines, fenders and everything in between.

We basically work out what you’re not confident with and spend the time actually practising it with you until it starts becoming second nature.

With 255+ 5 star reviews, we’ve helped a lot of Sydney boat owners become safer and more confident at the helm.

October dates are filling fast, so if you’ve been meaning to get some training in, now is a good time.

Don’t learn the hard way. Learn the BoatWise way.

You don’t learn to handle thousands of different boats from YouTube videos and textbooks.

You learn by spending 12 years manoeuvring them every single day, in all conditions. ☀️☔️💨⛈️🌊

From original Rivas and 1960s Halvorsens to brand new Princess flybridges, Riviera 6000s and almost everything in between.

Single engines. Twins. Triples. Quads. Outboards. Sterndrives. Shaft drives. Pods. Thrusters. No thrusters. Trailer boats to large luxury cruisers.

We’ve trained boat owners throughout Sydney Harbour, travelled up and down the east coast of Australia, been flown to Queensland and Melbourne and even internationally to Papua New Guinea to train clients on their own boats.

We’ve manoeuvred boats in just about every marina in Sydney Harbour.

And here’s what 12 years has taught me:

No 2 boats handle exactly the same.

That’s why BoatWise training happens on your boat, in your marina.

We teach you how your boat responds. How wind and current affect it. How to control momentum. How to approach a tight berth calmly. And most importantly, how to recover when things don’t go exactly to plan.

Because confidence isn’t built by watching someone else drive your boat.

It’s built by taking the helm yourself.

255+ five star Google reviews.

If you want to get genuinely confident docking and manoeuvring your boat, you know where to go. Boatwise.com.au

There’s a reason clients pay to get BoatWise to their boat.

This session took us to d'Albora Marinas Nelson Bay for private tuition on a client’s own vessel.

But Nelson Bay is only one of the places our training takes us.

We train at marinas right across Sydney Harbour, Pittwater and the Hawkesbury River, and clients have flown us to Melbourne, Queensland and even Papua New Guinea to do what we do best.

Build real confidence at the helm.

Private tuition is completely personalised to you and your boat. We can help you master:

• Docking and marina manoeuvring
• Wind, current and momentum
• Close quarters boat handling
• Navigation and passage planning
• Anchoring and moorings
• Knots, lines and fender setup
• Vessel systems and onboard equipment
• Safety and emergency procedures
• Skipper confidence and decision making

Whether you’ve just bought your first boat, upgraded to something bigger or simply want more confidence, we come to you and train you on your own vessel, in your own environment.

No generic training. Real world tuition built around your boat and the situations you’ll actually face.

Confidence is built, not found.

FUN FACT FRIDAY 😎🌬️

Use Seabreeze like a progression guide.

💚 Green: Build your confidence
💛 Yellow: Get super confident
❤️ Red: Only start playing around here once you and your crew are genuinely confident docking.

If you’re not super confident docking in 15 kn, you shouldn’t be heading out when 20 kn is forecast.

Check BOM and Seabreeze before you go and again on the day

Stay BoatWise!
