How to obtain boat driving license in Singapore ?

[Onitsuka]

I'm not sure if "drive" is the correct adjective, all that there is a difference between a boat and a pleasure craft.

I'm thinking of expanding my interest to driving a boat. How does one go about obtaining a relevant license in Singapore ? Is the same license recognized, say, in Thailand ?

What are the different classes of license ?

Your not a baby dun expect to be spoonfeed.
That said having a license without the boat would be like owning a dildo without anyone to use it on

Must quote this during your boat test :

The fog's just lifting. Throw off your bow line; throw off your stern. You head out to South channel, past Rocky Neck, Ten Pound Island. Past Niles Pond where I skated as a kid. Blow your air-horn and throw a wave to the lighthouse keeper's kid on Thatcher Island. Then the birds show up: black backs, herring gulls, big dumb ducks. The sun hits ya - head North. Open up to 12 - steamin' now. The guys are busy; you're in charge. Ya know what? You're a goddamn swordboat captain. Is there any thing better in the world?

Forgive me for asking the obvious. Who is going to check if you have licence on the high seas? If I build a catamaran, who is going to stop and check for my licence?

This site seems to have all the relevant information:

http://ppcdl.sn.sg/

but still, it's better to hear from someone who has been there and done it.

How much did you pay for the course ? According to the site, it's only $300 and I feel it's unbelievable. You mean it's cheaper than obtaining a license for 4 wheels ?

And after you have obtained in PPCDL, who is going to trust you to rent a boat to you (assuming if you can't afford to buy one yet)?

I plan to go Changi Sailing Club and dig out more stuff and share here.

If you like it, you should buy it.

No need to think too much like choosing wife! Wife can only have 1, but toys and other playthings as many as you have time for.

Will your wife allow that!

You pilot a boat, not drive.
