Monitoring Advice with Permission to Open
We at Cairns BoatSafe Training have been teaching Boat Safe Courses for a period of 10 years. We have taught as far south as the Gold Coast and as far north as the Torres Strait and our dealings are directly through Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ).
We don’t deal with yachting agencies and we don’t try and sell you a boat. Our aim is to teach people to drive tinnies and ride jet ski safely.
Cairns BoatSafe Training is the longest continuing operator in Cairns and is currently the only operator with a physical shopfront situated at Smithfield, Cairns.
Currently we train at Smithfield (Cairns) and once a month, at Port Douglas and Tinaroo.
Our main trainer has been driving boats since he was 12 years old and became a Coxswain in 1989. He has had a lot of experience driving boats across the Tweed Bar, Fitzroy Island, Green Island and Torres Strait.

MSQ has a course minimum of 6 hours. Part of that 6 hours consists of completing required course notes supplied by MSQ and a minimum time of 40 minutes on the water. Cairns BoatSafe Training recognises that everybody learns at a different rate and in a different way, so we have developed, two options for you.
Option 1: Face to Face Theory in our Classroom
Option 2: Online Theory
The practical component of the course is competency based, so if you are having trouble with one of the assessments, we are only too willing to spend more time with you so can successfully complete that component before moving on. If not you can come back at the next course to complete that component at no cost.
Jet Ski Course
Jet Ski Courses can only be completed if you have a valid and current boat licence.
