Beginner? Brushing up? Want to charter or buy your own boat? Need to qualify as an Inshore, Coastal or Offshore Skipper?
Sunshine Sailing Australia has become known as the premier sailing school based on the Sunshine Coast, teaching beginners to advanced sailors in dinghies and yachts, inshore, offshore, and ocean sailing.
The school is both a Yachting Australia (YA) and the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) recognized Teaching Establishment: we meet & exceed their strict guidelines to conduct RYA & YA sailing courses. Our yachts, dinghies, instructors and safety requirements meet the highest standards.
The school also now offers professional RYA Yachtmaster Career training courses for those of you who wish to pursue a career as crew or master on certified commercial charter boats or superyachts.
The RYA certificates are Maritime Coastguard Agency (MCA) approved and recognised around the world. Most insurance companies now require that all paid superyacht crew have MCA-approved RYA Yachtmaster certificates and the STCW95 courses.
Our new yacht, the German-made Hanse 400e will provide comfort, style and safety to the highest standard. All yachts are in Marine Safety Qld survey.
'I have since been right through the RYA Program with the Sunshine Sailing Australia, including Sea Survival and Celestial Navigation. It's been a fantastic experience being professionally trained by experts and I have forged some good friendships along the way as well. I would recommend the SSA to anyone wanting to improve or refresh their sailing ability and knowledge. Well worth the money.' Brad Withyman, Mooloolaba.
'Exceeded my expectations. I learnt so much and has inspired me to consolidate this new knowledge. Would recommend the Sunshine Sailing Australia to anyone.' Ross Mitchell, Brisbane.
