Is it safe to catch a 8m powerboat out to sea?

Question

I want to go with a few mature friends out to sea (relatively calm water) and no rocks. We will go fishing as well.

(Location: Moreton bay, QUEENSLAND)

BUT she says it too dangerous.

Can you prove why it isn't.

My friend has his licence for 6 months now.

We are about 17, 18 and quite mature.

Please answer this.

Before I would say it's safe, I'd want to know if you've done anything like this before.  If not, try to go out with an experienced captain and ask him to let you pilot the boat.  Bay's and inlets sometimes can be tricky and sudden weather conditions can make it difficult to get back in safely.  If the captain say's ok, I'm sure you'll act responsibly.
