Learn to Sail on the Sunshine Coast: Your Adventure Starts Here

Great question, as we have several locations depending on the course.  Our monohulls run year-round from Mooloolaba Marina on the Sunshine Coast.  We also have monohull courses in the Whitsundays generally July – August.  Our catamaran departs Newport Marina near North Brisbane.

That is part of the fun of the course, deciding where to sail based on winds, tide, and sea state.  Generally, most of our training takes place in Moreton Bay, near Brisbane.  It is an amazing place to train, with a little of everything you need to increase your skills.  

There are a lot of cool places there as well, such as wrecks you can dive, hidden springs, quiet anchorages, and the river.  With no shortage of places to go and see, we often go to places that students who have lived here their whole lives did not know about.

Absolutley, we do it all of the time.  Our private tuition and Own Boat Tuition, helps you get where you want to do faster.  If you have the opportunity to learn on your own boat, with your own systems, it will make cruising and sailing that much more fun quicker.

If you are on a residential course (5-day) you will be staying on the boat.  We do have courses that are local, and you go home each night.  Each of the course pages will let you know how many nights you will be on-board.

Sailing is definiltey determined by wind and sea state.  Generally, we can find a good place to sail.  Rarely will rain be an issue, as it does not affect the sailing.  In the event, we have to cancel a course, we give you as much notice as we can, and make an effort to reschedule.  For more specific information, have a look at our cancellation policy, it outlines the procedures.

That being said, we rarely have to cancel a course on our larger boats.  On the smaller boats, we usually have options to sail in protective waters, and keep a close eye on the wind.

Some of the courses do have age restrictions, but generally speaking, if a minor is with their parent than we have some flexibility.  We cannot sail with minors without a guardian.  Typically our larger vessels have a restriction of 18 years old, if unaccompanied.  Each course list the age restriction, but you are aways welcome to give us a call if you stil have questions.
