Developed by Boaters, for Boaters by:
TBSA is collaborating with PenMarine Sdn Bhd to bring our boating Courses to Malaysia. Together, we have created the Power Craft Driving Course(PCDC). This is a course made up of 4 modules, all of which need to be completed and the trainee assessed before being awarded the PCDC certificate. This certificate allows the boater to charter self-drive (bareboat) boats in the region across the TBSA network of partners. Note that self-drive boats charter in Singapore require a local PPCDL so contact the TBSA representative in Singapore for more information about this.
The list of marinas with self drive boats available for charter currently includes:
1. One15 Marina Sentosa - Singapore
2. Republic of Singapore Yacht Club Marina - Singapore
3. Marina Country Club - Singapore
4. Royal Selangor Yacht Club - Port Klang, Malaysia
5. Straits Quay Marina - Penang, Malaysia
Up and coming destinations:
1. Jakarta - Indonesia
2. Vietnam
3. Langkawi - Malaysia
4. Melaka - Malaysia
5. Johor - Malaysia
The PCDC course consists of 4 modules you need to complete the course. You will also be required to pass 2 tests before the certificate is awarded to you and with the PCDC certification, you are free to create your own nautical adventures!
