About On the Water Training
Meet Paul Curtis — the accredited BoatSafe instructor behind On the Water Training on the Southern Gold Coast.
About Paul Curtis
On the Water Training is owned and operated by Paul Curtis — a passionate boater and accredited BoatSafe instructor based in Currumbin Waters on the Southern Gold Coast.
Paul founded On the Water Training with a simple goal: to give Queenslanders the skills and confidence to get out on the water safely. He believes that great marine training goes beyond ticking boxes for a licence — it’s about building real capability and a genuine love for being on the water.
[Paul — please add 2–3 sentences about your personal boating background and what drives your passion for the water.]

Why Small Groups?
We cap our sessions at 4 students maximum. In larger groups, students spend more time watching than doing. With a small group, you get hands-on time from the moment we launch.
Paul tailors every session to where you are — first time on a boat or just needing the assessment. Either way, you won’t be waiting around.
Our Commitment
Every student who walks away from an On the Water Training course leaves with more than a licence. They leave understanding how to operate safely, read the waterway, and handle changing conditions.
