ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Meet Matthew
A veteran marine instructor and former rescue skipper with over 20 years on Australian waters, known for turning nervous first-time boat owners into confident skippers.
After watching countless new skippers struggle despite passing the licence test, he realised what was missing: an easy-to-follow course that teaches the hands-on skills you actually need on the water—so he built it.
Graduates now dock confidently, handle emergencies, and enjoy stress-free family trips on the water. The lessons are praised for being clear, engaging, and immediately actionable.
Certified AMSA Master V commercial skipper.
Skippered more than 500 coastal rescue missions.
Successfully trained over 1,200 recreational skippers.
Featured boating safety presenter on ABC Television.
Developer of a government-endorsed boating safety curriculum.
Founder of Australia’s largest online boating community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover navigation rules and lights?
Yes! We break down the give-way rules, markers and lights with simple animations so you’ll never be confused on the water.
I’ve never owned a boat—will this help?
Absolutely. The course assumes zero practical experience and walks you through every skill you’ll need before and after you buy your first boat.
How is this different from the licence course?
Licence courses teach regulations; we teach the hands-on skills, tricks and confidence that only come from years on the water—condensed into easy lessons you can watch anytime.
