PWC Licencing and Safety Equipment
Following consultation with interested Personal Water Craft operators, there have been several changes to licensing and safety equipment requirements to co-incide with the gazetting of the new Marine and Safety (Motor Boats and Licences) By-laws 2008.
As from January 1 2009, you are required to have an endorsement on your existing power boat licence to operate a PWC.
After 1 January 2009 it will be a requirement to undertake a practical and theory training program to obtain the endorsement.
See The Tasmanian Personal Water Craft Handbook (below) for all information on Licencing and Safety Equipment.
For enquiries to obtain the endorsement please contact :
