MAST related FAQ’s

1. Where can I find more information about Recreational Boating & PWC (Personal Water Craft) licence course in Tasmania?

   At the Marine and Safety Tasmania Website

2. Why do I need to provide Identification?

   This is a MAST (Marine and Safety Tasmania) requirement to enrol in and attend any approved Boat Licence and/or PWC endorsement Course in Tasmania. 
   Your identification helps establish who you are to be able to issue your licence. It also establishes if you should receive a discount due to your age.

3. How long does a boat licence / PWC endorsement last?

   Your Recreational Motor Boat Licence is valid for a three year period (pro rata). Licences all have a common expiry date. 
   It is not a requirement to carry your licence when on the water in Tasmania but MAST by-laws stipulate that, if requested, the licence must be produced within 14 days.

4. If I am aged 12-16yo do I still need to provide Evidence of Identity?

   Yes. See the requirements for Evidence of Identity information here.

   Tip: The easiest documents are usually: Medicare Card (with your name), Parents Drivers Licence, a Parent’s Drivers Licence (which will confirm the address) & Birth Certificate. Or an alternative (for 1 of these) Student Identification Card (with photo) or Personal Information Card (with photo - State Govt issued) are also good. If you do not have these see the other forms of ID at the link.
   Contact MAST if you are unsure.

5. I am not sure of my Recreational Motor Boat Licence Number. Where can I check?
