What people are saying about the Boatshed:

  • The course is fantastic and we really enjoy coming every year!
  • Boatshed staff went out of their way to accomodate me and my students. Thankyou.
  • Had a great time, wish I could have that much fun more often! Thanks
  • Thanks, this was a super fun couple of days. The course provides a higher level of understanding about the recreational vessel business. Can't wait for a refresher course!
  • Our instructor was understanding and helpful at all times. He made us feel safe while we were on Seatrek and while we were at the boatshed.
  • I thought the balance between the theory and the practical training was "spot on" - I would not like to see the theory given more time than the practical! I would have no hesitation in recommending the course to anybody interested in obtaining a RST. The course, and the way it was conducted, was a totally enjoyable experience.
  • Great experience, was a team building exercise without perhaps intending to be.
