A current and valid boat licence with PWC endorsement is required to operate a jet ski anywhere in Victoria!
A marine licence allows you to operate a motorised boat in Victorian waters. You can also have your marine licence endorsed to operate personal watercraft (e.g. Jet skis).
You must hold a current marine licence to operate a registered vessel on Victorian waters.
There are two types:
1) General marine licence – required by anyone 16 years of age or over operating a registered vessel
2) Restricted marine licence – required by anyone over the age of 12, and under 16, who is operating a registered vessel.
www.abcboating.com is the largest private provider of Australian PWC and Boat training. We’ve heard nothing but positive feedback from their courses and strongly recommend you book on a week day (that way you can go to VicRoads in Dromana afterwards to get licence course approved and get out on the water!). The duration of the course is 4 hours for $125 (+ PWC fee and VicRoads fee).
