Why choose sunshine sailing australia
With The Experience Comes Excellence.
Our school is an RYA foundational school in Australia, and has been teaching people to sail since 1995. With 29+ years of experience, and over 15K sailors trained, we know a thing or two about sailing.
Lowest Student / Instructor Ratio
We are the only RYA school in Queensland that has a 4:1 Student to Instructor ratio as standard. What does this mean for you? This means more room on the boat, no sharing beds, and more time for instruction. You are getting more training for the money than any other school.
Instructors Dual RYA/ASA Certified
Our instructors are not only experienced sailors but also hold dual certifications from both the RYA and ASA, the two largest sail training organizations in the world. You can rest assured knowing that you will be learning from highly qualified instructors.
Queensland's Premier Catamaran Sail Training
We are the leading RYA catamaran training center in Queensland, offering more RYA courses on catamaran than anyone else. If you want to buy, charter, or sail a catamaran, we are the school that will help you increase your abilities so you can maximize your adventure.
You Become Part of Our Community
We have a strong sailing community of past and current students. Many have boats that love to have crew aboard for a daily, weekend, or somethings longer trips. We love to get together and have BBQ’s, concerts, and flotillas. What an amazing community you could be a part of, you will be welcomed with open arms.
No Sharing Beds w/Strangers
We know this might be something that would be a given, but it isn’t. Most schools require students (strangers) to share a bed, often with a piece of cloth or a board between them. We do not believe you should have to pay extra to have your own bed.
