Penrith Venue

Where you can go to do your course

Penrith

Learn how to drive a Boat on the Nepean River!

The Nepean river is the life line for water supply to the 5 million Sydney residents. The Warragamba Dam is the Nepeans main tributary. The river has 11 weirs that regulate the natural flow of the river, hence being a non-tidal waterway.

The river is home to some amazing Gorges accessible via boat. A great way to wind down and soak in the serene environment of rocks, water and local fauna and flora.

Get a boat or Jet Ski licence in Penrith. This location is great for anyone living in Emu Plains, Glenbrook, Blue Mountains, St Mary’s, Katoomba, Lithgow and surrounding suburbs.
