SOMETHING NEW IS COMING TO THE PERTH BOATING COMMUNITY

* SOMEWHERE TO LEARN * SOMEWHERE TO ASK * GUIDED ON-WATER EXPERIENCES*

A first in the Perth boating community. A place for new boat owners, mums and dads and those that love the on-water lifestyle to come together and experience all that Perth and its waters have to offer in a safe environment.

Run by the Boating Industry Association of Western Australia (BIAWA); introducing Go Boating Club WA.

The Go Boating Club has been established to provide boat owners a place to build their confidence on the water. Facilitating training events at BIAWA headquarters at Burswood on Swan, members will have the opportunity to learn from industry professionals on all things boating from how to tie a dockline, how to set an anchor, to how to use Epribs and safe ways to launch your boat.

On water experiences give members the opportunity to use the new skills learnt in a safe matter with experienced boaties and will include river cruises, overnight return trips, day trips to Rottnest Island and many more.

As the leading marine industry body, BIAWA receives numerous requests for information on both boat safety and suggestions on where new boat owners take their boats in a safe matter. It has become evident there is a requirement to provide boat training and social on water experiences for the general public in Perth.

With the renowned BIAWA Rottnest Island Safety Convoy consistently selling out within days of release, it is a natural progression to create a social membership for the general public.
