Set on the Hawkesbury River at Mooney Mooney, our Brooklyn venue is a scenic spot to get your boat licence on the Far Upper North Shore of Sydney.
It's 20 minutes drive from Berowra, 30 minutes from Hornsby, and the same for Gosford on the Central Coast.
During the course you'll get to drive past Dangar Island and do the practical boating experience for your General Boat Licence Course, or Boat & Jet Ski/PWC Licence Course.
We'll make sure to watch the for winds coming off the Pacific Ocean, as they can cause some chop if out in the open - but we've found the best spots to make it an enjoyable time for everyone.
We begin the course at the Parsley Bay Boat Ramp, which opens out onto the Hawkesbury River.

Don't park in the car park beside the boat ramp as it is restricted for trailers, and you'll get a large fine from Hornsby Council!

We'll meet you at one of the two wharves in Parsley Bay, where we'll bring our colourful ABC-branded boats around to pick you up.
