If you choose a career as a Boat Builder, you could build boats for the recreation and leisure market and produce runabouts, kayaks and canoes, catamarans, yachts and ski boats. Using the latest computer software and advanced composites and polymers, you could even design and construct luxury cruisers, powerboats or maxi yachts.

You may also like to work on commercial charter vessels, fishing boats, military or police vessels, yachts, cruisers, ferries, patrol craft and even maxi-yachts.

You will study plans and specifications, fabricate hulls and install structures, such as cabins, masts, decking, propeller supports and rudders.

Australia's Boating Industry is expanding rapidly - everyone, it seems, wants to be on the water! With Boat Building skills under your belt, you'll be in high demand. Over time, you will enjoy the rewards of seeing finished boats that you built with your own hands.
