Coming Soon

Great idea for future Jetski Skippers !!!!!

I live in Umkomaas on the Durban South Coast. Umkomaas is the launch site to Aliwal Shoal which is a premier game fishing destination. I can now offer you the opportunity to do your skippers course and maybe a little fishing !! The idea is that in order to do your skippers course you must do 12 launches (over 4 days..3 Launches per day minimum) with a qualified skipper (me) and then 25 sea hours (again with me) you then do your theory test in the classroom with your examiner, and then we do your practical exam down at the Umkomaas launch site. Your manuals to do your theory part are posted to you a few weeks before you arrive if required (after deposit is paid). Although you only have to do 12 launches we can do as many as you and I feel that is required. You can do surf endorsement, sheltered launch, or upgrade your current skippers ticket. Accommodation can be arranged by me if required at a local Guest House or Self Catering establishment.

I can also help you choose a new Jetski or fishing tackle & equipment. Check out the Jetski Fishing Shop HERE

PLEASE NOTE THE REGULATIONS HAVE CHANGED IF YOU DO YOUR SKIPPERS COURSE ON A JETSKI YOU CANNOT SKIPPER A SKIBOAT WITH 2 ENGINES UNTIL YOU UPGRADE YOUR SKIPPERS TICKET

Radio Requirements for Jetskis 

As you may know it is a requirement at most launch sites to have a VHF Marine Radio fitted to your Vessel. Unfortunately most Jetskis have very limited dry easily accessible space so that is why we have created a range of Jetski Storage Boxes to house your VHF Radio and Fishing Accessories.  Have a look at our ever expanding range here Jetski Storage Boxes

Register a Jetski

Register a Jetski

To use your Jetski you must do the following

Register your trailer and pay the annual licence fee then display the licence disc on your trailer

Write your name, telephone number, next of kin contact number, and Jetski number on your trailer. You can get adhesive letters from any sign shop or write or paint it on the trailer.

Make sure you have the yellow reflective tape on your trailer.

The trailer must be roadworthy tested at a vehicle test centre.

When you go to get the licence or roadworthy, take any old paperwork of previous ownership along with you.

Its a good idea to fit LED lamps to the rear of the trailer as they are waterproof and you will be submerging the trailer in salt water Be warned!....

Make sure you have a buoyancy certificate. If you have Ski Wings, Jet Pods, Tubbys, Jetwings, Pontoons etc. fitted they also need a Buoyancy Certificate.

Make sure your craft has its annual COF (Certificate of fitness) more details here

You will need all your safety equipment as per Jetski class information here

Don't forget your fishing licence and if you go to Mozambique you need a different licence and pay launch fees

Don't forget insurance..................I would recommend Club Marine. Club Marine Insurance Well I did until 2024 Now I would recommend Outsurance!

 If your Jetski is a Category D and some launch sites also CAT E vessels you will need a VHF Radio and SRC Licence and your Radio must also be licenced. Contact me for further details.
