SkippersMate.com.au is a business managed by Peter J Hackett to supply marine and now land based safety equipment designed to protect and identify where you are when you are either boating, sailing, conducting outdoor activities like bushwalking or outback 4x4 travelling.


We started selling the VHF Marine Radio Operators Handbook & 150 Examination questions and answers product, and have since expanded the range based on personal experience and customer demand.


Having a marine rescue background, many of the products have been chosen because of their design & purpose to Save Life, be it on water or land.


With over 30 years of customer sales contact, the one thing that makes CBTC different from many other sellers is that we are “Easy To Deal With”. That’s why we value your Feedback and Product Reviews – We only wish more buyers would provide comments.

  1. Is your beacon (EPIRB) registration sticker due to expire?

    It's coming on to 5+ years since the change over of the old analogue to digital 406MHz EPIRBs were introduced into Australia, so there are two things to keep in mind.

    One, the battery expiry date - is it current and if not dispose the EPIRB at Battery World and get a new one or get the battery replaced.
    Two, check your registration sticker and get the information on AMSA's database updated - it's FREE. Register here

  2. GPS vs non-GPS

    In summary the answer is simple... GPS. Just ask yourself as the skipper - How long do you want your crew and kids floating in the water wanting to found.
