PWCs are an important and growing part of recreational boating. As participation increases, so too does the importance of education, responsible behaviour and collaboration across industry and government. QRBC welcomes initiatives that support safer waterways while enabling participation and Queensland’s marine businesses to continue to grow.

With PWC ownership continuing to grow across Australia, industry leaders, manufacturers and the BIA are working together to promote safer, more responsible riding on our waterways.

The message is simple: the vast majority of riders do the right thing, and education, awareness and responsible ownership are key to ensuring everyone can enjoy their time on the water safely.

🌊🛥️🌊 - important information regarding coastal bar crossing from Maritime Safety Queensland

As we head into the autumn boating season, here’s a reminder of some important bar crossing safety tips we shared earlier this summer.

💡 Did you know?
If you're crossing a designated coastal bar in Queensland, it’s mandatory for everyone on board in an open boat, as well as in any open area of a boat of any length, and on certain craft, to wear a lifejacket.

Here are some quick tips for safer boating:
✅ Check your safety gear is in good condition and easy to access
✅ Know the conditions before heading out
✅ Don’t overload your vessel
✅ Keep a proper lookout at all times
✅ Avoid alcohol while operating your vessel

Wearing a lifejacket can save your life. Don’t take the risk.

Boat safe. Be home safe.
