Get your NSW boat and jetski licence along the North Coast!
Discover the beauty of the NSW North Coast with Australian Boat Licence’s local NSW boat licence and PWC licence courses. From the river estuaries of Ballina and Grafton to the coastal wonders of Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie, our North Coast hubs bring expert instruction right where you need it.
Whether you’re aiming for your NSW boat licence or PWC licence, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to navigate from calm rivers to open seas safely and with ease.

NSW Boat Licence Courses
The NSW boat licence course includes all testing & education you need to get through to get the licence. Courses will run for roughly 3 hours. After the course, simply present the licence qualification to ServiceNSW, with your completed logbook, to purchase a NSW boat licence there & then.
NSW PWC Licence Courses
Run at all our NSW Boat Licence locations. You’ll need a NSW boat licence to obtain the PWC licence upgrade, but we can do both at the same time if you require both. Once done, simply take the qualification to ServiceNSW to purchase the PWC upgrade – not further testing required!
