Sailing Schools Across Australia

Yachtmaster Sailing SchoolWhere the training actually is
Sailing training in Australia clusters hard around a handful of bodies of water. Between them they account for almost every dedicated school in the country, which is why this site is organised by water rather than by postcode.
The numbers on the map are schools currently listed and verified, not an estimate of the market. Where a state shows a low number it means we have verified few, not that few exist — corrections are welcome.
Marked on the map in blue; the others are regional training waters with their own page.

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.
Verified, dated and independent
Accreditation and course information are published only when the source supports them, with a visible verification status. We are not affiliated with Australian Sailing, the RYA, IYT, American Sailing or AMSA, and schools cannot pay for placement.

Send us your accreditation, training waters, boats and current course list, and we will verify it before it appears.
