The Boat Basics program aims to accelerate the learning process and take the stress out of the early days while handling a new vessel. Whether that be via the mentor assisting you or hiring a qualified skipper.
Boat Basics would love to help with your needs year round, however Paul works as a Marine Pilot in Western Australia every other month so we are unable to operate through the duration of his shifts.
