Wayne Middleton The Boating Tutor

Welcome to Wayne Middleton The Boating Tutor, located at 55 Bellvue Avenue in Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we aim to provide comprehensive education and training for boating enthusiasts.

In New Zealand, we understand the love for all things related to the water, whether it's simply enjoying a leisurely day on a boat, fishing, or even participating in prestigious regattas around the world. We also recognize the importance of respecting the power of nature and the need for continuous learning. It may surprise you to know that New Zealand boasts the fifth largest coastline of any country globally!

Wayne Middleton firmly believes that education is the key to fostering responsible attitudes and behavior among boat users. By increasing knowledge and understanding, we can enhance both the enjoyment and safety of boating experiences. Our courses are designed to be easily accessible and affordable, catering to both beginners and experienced boaters.

One of our popular courses is the Maritime VHF Operator Course, which equips participants with the necessary skills to operate a VHF radio effectively and safely. We also offer The Boat Skipper Course, providing in-depth knowledge on boat handling, navigation, and safety procedures. For those looking for hands-on experience, our Practical on the Water Training is an excellent opportunity to apply your newfound knowledge in a real-world setting.

To further assist boaters, we have provided useful links on our website, including the Lyttelton Tide Table, Marine Weather updates, and Animated Knots tutorials. These resources will help you stay informed about tidal conditions, weather forecasts, and essential knot tying techniques.
