However, none of us would be able to enjoy the unique pleasure of a Jet Ski had it not been for an Australian motocross enthusiast named Clayton Jacobsen II, all the way back in the 1960s.
The Jet Ski: In the Beginning...
Obtaining your Personal Watercraft (PWC) Licence
If you want to have all of the fun and excitement on the high seas that you’ve always dreamed of with a Jet Ski to call your very own, you’ll first have to work to obtain your personal watercraft (PWC) licence. Once you have successfully completed a General Boat and PWC licence examination (like the kind offered by Maritime and Safety Training). No further testing will be required to obtain your PWC licence, provided that you have completed your logbook. Either to do this you can do three trips with a friend or colleague who has held a General Boat Licence for at least three years while completing all book-based activities, or you can do one trip aboard Maritime and Safety Training’s own training vessel.
As you can see, Jet Skis are one of the best, and most affordable, ways to get outdoors and enjoy the best that the open water has to offer. If you’d like to find out more information about obtaining your personal watercraft license with a Jet Ski course, or about any of the other training courses available, please don’t hesitate to contact Maritime and Safety Training today.
