Sailing Schools Across Australia

Dedicated sailing schools, academies, yacht training businesses and specialist marine education providers — not a directory of yacht clubs. Each profile shows accreditation, training waters, training boats, course lists and prices with the date they were checked.

A sailing school can operate from a yacht club or marina and still be listed here, so long as the school is a separate training organisation. Ordinary yacht clubs and sailing clubs are not included simply because they run occasional courses.

How we list schools

Verified, dated and independent

Accreditation, course lists and prices are checked against the school rather than copied from a brochure, and every price carries the date it was checked. We are not affiliated with Australian Sailing, the RYA, IYT, American Sailing or AMSA, and schools cannot pay for placement.
