Welcome to
Licence to Boat Sunshine Coast
Boat and Jet Ski Licensing
Licence to Boat is a local, owner-operated boat licence school based near Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast. We offer BoatSafe and Maritime Safety Queensland approved Recreational Marine Drivers Licence (RMDL) and Personal Watercraft (PWC/Jet Ski) licence courses on the beautiful Maroochy River.
With a maximum of just 4 students per course, you’re never just a number — you get real, personalised attention from an experienced, hands-on instructor every time.
Private courses for groups of 2 to 4 are also available on request, perfect for families or friends.
We’re conveniently located at Ingenia Rivershore Resort, with access to a private jetty for practising berthing in a safe, controlled environment.
Our friendly, step-by-step approach makes completing your boat or jet ski licence straightforward and enjoyable — whether you’re a first-timer or brushing up on your skills.
Our goal is simple: to get you and your family safely out on the water, and keep you there for years to come.

A lot of people don’t realise the lifejacket rules in Queensland have changed recently.
If you’re operating a boat under 4.8m, you now need to wear a lifejacket when:
✔ You’re alone
✔ You’re accompanied only by children under 12
✔ You’re operating at night
It’s all about keeping everyone a bit safer on the water.
When you do your course with Licence to Boat, we go through the latest rules and show you the practical stuff that actually matters when you’re out boating.
⚓ Relaxed, friendly training
👥 Small groups
👨👩👧 Private sessions available
📍 Sunshine Coast
Full details on the rules are available at
