We bought a second hand power boat recently, as a beginner we are lucky to hired Ned to be our instructor, he is very experienced and passionate about boating. During 3 informative lessons we learned from safety check to docking, refueling and anchoring, it’s really helpful for beginners to be able to quickly understand and engage in boating and enjoy the boating lifestyle. Thanks Ned and Greta for your help, highly recommended!

I recently consulted Ned from hightide to review a vessel I am looking to purchase. The boat is a RIB Cat with a hydrofoil and duel motors for which Ned immediately identified potential problem areas and provided exceptional advise in a simple to understand manner. I found Ned to be extremally knowledgeable and honest and best of all he has saved me money and my investment in him was completely justified.Ned was fantastic in referring other mechanical marine specialists even when this may have taken away from his business. Ned has come up in numerous conversations to family and friends since I with engaged him for advice with the emphases on my positive experience.Ned is knowledgeable, professional and just someone you don't come across normally in daily life. I had no prior relationship with Hightide and reached out from google.. I suggest you do the same!Thanks a million Hightide Boating..Troy

I considered buying a yacht in Melbourne and Ned at High Tide boating was very helpful going over the survey and all other documents with me, giving his very professional opinion about the condition of the boat and its valueI would highly recommend using Ned's services. He is very friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you!

There are few companies that meet expectations, and even fewer who exceed your expectations every time, but Hightide consistently deliver quality support and training. Greta and Ned communicate reliably with customers, are cost effective, and provide a quality service that we desperately need in this part of the world. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

I used Ned from High Tide Boating to tutor me with berthing my new Caribbean 40ft Game Boat and handling the boat around the marina. Stepping up from a 25ft boat was a big step for me and after a few sessions with Ned I was back to where I needed my confidence to be handling the boat in winds and tight marina berthing and situations. Ned is a great guy and importantly great and calm tutor and I recommend him at the highest level, together with Greta they make a great team.

I requested a quote for a pre purchase inspection online and was promptly called by Ned. He asked me some questions about the boat and I sent him the listing. I was surprised by Ned's honesty, as rather than take my money for an inspection, he told me up front what he identified to be an issue with the boat, and pointed out things that were not so obvious to me on the listing. Also, Ned used his knowledge of the area to explain how some things on the boat may have come to be.The conversation progressed to how I would be using the boat, and I recieved some advice about what types of boats might suit me better and what things I could look out for on future boats. A great resource for a first time boat buyer, thankyou very much!

Thanks Ned a wealth of information andGreat advise as a novice to the boat worldYou may well have saved me some potentialHeadaches and will be back to you when we find the next best dealAndrew

I engaged Ned late December to help me and my partner learn how to drive and trailer our boat, and to get an initial orientation of PPB.Ned was very experienced, knowledgeable and personable. Everything we learned in our half-day together have served us so well in managing our boat. There is so much to learn to become a proficient captain, but Ned will help you get there quickly. Totally worth the investment.Thanks Ned.

My wife and I recently bought our first yacht and engaged High Tide Boating to help us understand the boat and how to move around the marina safely. We have been blown away with the whole experience which went way beyond just some instruction. Ned has guided us on everything from finding the best trades to coordinating complex maintenance tasks. The team at HTB are fabulous to deal with and we just cannot recommend them too highly.
