Whitsunday Sailing School
The Whitsunday Sailing School has been teaching students to sail for over 30 years in the Whitsundays. Our sail training vessel is a proven long distance cruising yacht and provides the perfect platform for everything from getting started, right through to skipper and ocean qualifications.
We teach using the IYT scheme which is one of the worlds most widely recognized names in sail training and we use the Whitsunday Sailing Clubs Maritime Training Center for our shore based parts of our courses.
The Whitsunday Islands are the perfect training ground to learn to sail that provides us a large number of protected anchorages and challenging passages to suit all skill levels. Learning to sail in the Whitsundays wouldn’t be complete without having the opportunity to snorkel the fringing reefs, visit the beaches and take walks on the islands when we’re not engaged in sail training
The Whitsunday Sailing School offers a wide range of sailing courses from Beginner to Advanced including extended coastal passages for those that are seeking to eventually purchase their own vessel with the objective of a cruising lifestyle.
The courses are run under the IYT scheme. You will liveaboard our large comfortable yacht and sail around the Whitsunday Islands while learning your new skills.
