Why Your Sailing Adventure Should Start With Us!
Personal Mentorship, Not Crowded Boats
Your journey deserves personal attention. We guarantee a maximum crew of four, ensuring you spend less time watching and more time with your hands on the helm. This direct mentorship from our expert instructors is the fastest way to build the real-world skills and unshakable confidence you need for your adventures.
Your Private Cabin, a Sanctuary on the Water
A great day of exploration is built on a great night’s rest. Unlike other schools, we provide every guest with their own private cabin. This is your personal space to unwind, reflect on the day’s learnings, and recharge for the journey ahead—an essential comfort that makes your experience restorative, not just educational.
A Legacy of Adventure Since 1989
Confidence comes from experience—both yours and ours. As one of the founding RYA schools in Australia and Queensland’s longest-running private sailing school, we have a 35-year legacy of transforming over 15,000 students into capable sailors. We don’t just follow the standards for world-class education; we helped set them.

Your dream of sailing a catamaran in all parts of the world, and as Queensland’s premier RYA catamaran training centre, we have the expertise and the fleet to make you a master of multi-hull sailing. We help you prepare for the adventure of a lifetime around the world.

Sailing should be one of life’s great joys. We believe that learning to sail should be too. While our standards are serious, our approach is built on the spirit of adventure. We foster a supportive, fun, and engaging environment where you can truly fall in love with the sailing lifestyle. This isn’t a cadet course; it’s the beginning of your life of exploration.
