After almost 20 years in the boat licensing business, Melinda and I have made the tough decision to cease trading in this industry at the end of June.
We are facing rising costs and a stupid pricing war from other trainers. We have felt the effect of this in our customer numbers, and we are not joining their race to the bottom of the barrel.
If they want to work for nothing, so be it, but we won't be. Running boats and jetski's and vehicles isn't cheap, and don't get me started on insurance costs.
It's time to take back our weekends as well and live a little.
Since July 2026 we have met about 8,000 people who we have helped with their boat licence journey and 99.999 percent of them have been awesome people. We thank all of you.
We also need to thank our kids for helping out so much and making this such a success. Truly, we couldn't have done this without your sacrifice.
Sam, Dan, Amy, Angus, Ben, Josh and Isaac. Thanks guys.
We will continue to run our driving school in Warwick and Stanthorpe, just no more boats and jetskis.
If you want to get a boat licence before the end of June, you really do need to act now - so go to
www.aglicensing.com.au and get it done.
Come June, we will shut the portal down and cease taking any more bookings because I want to finish up before the end of the financial year. After then, the boat goes on the market too.
