RMS rules dictate a General Boat Licence is required by any person wanting to operate a boat in a recreational capacity at a speed of more than 10 knots, or 18.5km/h. That’s about running speed for the average adult. A General Boat Licence course will provide you with the knowledge and required exam to obtain a license from the RMS to drive a boat of any size in any recreational capacity.
A Personal Water Craft (PWC) licence is required by any person wanting to operate a Personal Water Craft (PWC) at any speed. Obtaining a PWC licence includes the General Boat Licence, allowing the holder to operate both types of water craft. A PWC licence course will provide you with the qualifications to obtain your combined General Boat and PWC license from the RMS to operate a PWC or a boat in a recreational capacity.
If you already have a General Boat Licence and would like to operate a Personal Water Craft (PWC) a two-hour course is all that is required upgrade your licence.
