We are fortunate here in Perth and surrounds to have a great lifestyle with the beautiful Swan River, Rottnest and so many other islands at our doorstep for us all to explore. The waters although beautiful can be dangerous to novice and also experienced boat skippers. To reduce and hopefully eliminate these dangers it’s important for skippers to be aware of rules, regulations and be familiar with navigational aids, safety equipment requirements and how to use the safety equipment in an emergency.

Easy Learn Boat School’s Michael Contatore has been a trainer and authorized assessor for the Recreational Skippers Ticket for many years and has become a familiar friendly face around the boat ramps. With a wealth of knowledge and practical experience on various size vessels and varying propulsion Michael can help the total beginner not only to obtain their Recreational Skippers Ticket but gain valuable skills to operate a vessel confidently and safely.

If a first aid course is of interest Easy Learn Boat School can assist. Michael has been a pre-hospital care provider for almost 20 years and still counting. Working as a Paramedic in various positions and having real life experience attending to medical emergencies gives first aid students an insight into what truly to expect in certain situations. As a Paramedic friend once said “you cannot teach what you have never done yourself”. Taking a first aid course with Easy Learn Boat School is professional, concise and explanatory on how to handle medical emergencies.
