"My partner and I completed our recreational Skippers Ticket with Aussie Boat Courses. We were a bit daunted initially as we were new to boating, but Pete was very patient throughout the whole process. After completing the theory test Pete took us step by step
through the practical exercises giving lots of helpful tips and advice along the way. Pete obviously knows his stuff and made the whole course a very positive and enjoyable experience. Thanks again Pete."
