We’re excited to announce that Boat Licence Queensland (BLQ) has expanded to Brisbane! Our brand-new outlet is now open at Manly Marina, giving locals the perfect opportunity to gain their Recreational Marine Driver Licence (RMDL) or Personal Watercraft Licence (PWCL) with the same expert service that has made BLQ the most trusted name in boat and jet ski licensing across Queensland.
This expansion means Brisbane residents no longer have to travel to the Gold Coast to access BLQ’s professional training. Now, the same high-quality service, flexible schedules, and proven results are right here in the heart of Moreton Bay, one of Queensland’s most iconic boating destinations.
The Easy Two-Step Licence Process
At BLQ, we believe getting your boat or jet ski licence should be straightforward and stress-free. That’s why we’ve streamlined the pathway into two simple steps:
1. Complete Your Online Theory at Home
Before attending your practical training day, you’ll complete 4–5 hours of online theory through BoatingTheory.com. This interactive platform is clear, structured, and engaging. Designed to suit beginners as well as those with some boating experience, it allows you to:
– Study at your own pace from the comfort of home.
– Gain a solid understanding of navigation rules, safety requirements, and key boating concepts.
– Build confidence so that you’re well-prepared before stepping onto the boat or jet ski.
Completing the theory online saves time on the day of your practical course, allowing you to focus on what really matters—hands-on training.
2. Attend a One-Day Practical Course
Once your theory is completed, you’ll attend a one-day practical training and assessment course at either our Brisbane (Manly Marina) or Gold Coast location.
During the day, you’ll:
– Practice essential on-water skills such as docking, maneuvering, and emergency procedures.
– Learn the correct techniques for safe and confident operation of both boats and jet skis.
– Receive guidance and feedback from our supportive trainers.
– Complete the required assessment to qualify for your RMDL and/or PWCL.
By the end of the day, you’ll not only have your licence, but also the practical knowledge to enjoy Queensland’s waterways safely.
