Frequently asked questions

It depends on the boat. Our Tinny has a 4hp motor, so no boat licence is required — just valid photo ID. The Bayliner Bowrider and Stacer Runabout have engines over 4hp, so you'll need a current Queensland Recreational Marine Driver Licence (RMDL) or interstate equivalent. We'll give you a full safety briefing and rundown of the boat before you head out.
