Whether you need a boat licence to rent a boat depends on the type of vessel and where you plan to use it. In Queensland, a recreational marine licence is generally required to operate a powered boat with an engine of more than 4.5kW. Some hire companies offer licence-free boats with specific restrictions. If you are planning to ride a jet ski, you will need the appropriate PWC licence, such as a Jet Ski License Gold Coast, to operate legally.
