Bare Boat Briefers

COST: $189.00

This nationally accredited course, 39119 QLD Course in Maritime Bareboat Briefing Operations, is designed for bareboat operations staff in the Whitsundays. It is a requirement that the principal or operations manager, the briefer, and the Radio Operator are appropriately trained and registered for bareboat operations in the Whitsundays. By studying this program and attending the Bareboat Briefing lectures, you will learn about the Whitsundays area, Marine Park management, best practices, marine safety and emergency procedures, and communication. This booklet is the Learning Guide for the course. As part of the course, you will be required to attend lectures and a range of assessments. Your knowledge and skills will be tested by short assessments including an assignment, oral and practical on-board assessment. 

The role of the Bareboat Briefer and Radio Operators is to ensure charterers can conduct their trip in an environmentally sustainable and safe manner. To promote and encourage safe and environmental best practices, briefing staff and Radio Operators require an understanding of the natural environment and local knowledge of the Whitsunday area applicable to bareboat charters.

The Bareboat Briefer has a key responsibility to assess the competency of charterers' boating skills to determine whether or not a sail guide may be required for the charter, and consequently ensuring the safety of the charterer and their passengers, the vessel they have chartered, and the unique environment they have come to experience.

The Whitsunday Bareboat Briefers Training Course contains all you need to know in becoming a Bareboat Briefer for operations in the Whitsundays and about getting registered as a Bareboat Briefer or Bareboat Operations Radio Operator with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA).

The course is divided into sections covering local knowledge, Marine Park management, responsible reef practices, marine safety and communications.
