About Australian Boating College
Largest Private Australian Boat & Jet Ski Provider
About Me
I’m Darryn owner and trainer of ABC Sunshine coast, since moving to the sunshine over 20 years ago.
We love to keep it simple and stress free, my job is not only to teach you how to easily drive a boat and jet ski and guide you through your licence courses, I’ll show you how to correctly navigate, teach you pre departure do’s and don’ts at the boat ramp as well as all your preventative maintenance procedures to keep you vessel in tip top condition ready for you next adventure.
I started boating with my dad in a tinnie over 40 years ago in the Noosa river and instantly fell in love with the boating, I bought my first Jet ski in 1995.
This industry has become my life, and I want to help share it with you.
I’ve run large boat deliveries up and down the east coast to working on game fishing charter boats in the Whitsundays and managed the largest marine dealership workshop in the country.
I owned and managed my own award winning Marine Dealership, so when it comes to boating and jet skis, I’ve owned them, fixed them, sold them and simply put smiles on people faces teaching them driving them.
I’ve been lucky enough to train over 20,000 successful happy customers.
All you need is a sandwich and a sense of humour and I’ll sort the rest out for you.
A – As easy as can be!
B – Best proven training company
C – Caring is our priority and make you competent.
