Sailing schools in Victoria
These schools are in our directory but their profiles are still being checked. We publish accreditation, training boats and prices only once we have verified them against the school, so nothing is listed for them yet.
The water you learn on
Almost all Victorian training happens on Port Phillip, an enclosed bay large enough to lose sight of land in. It is demanding water to learn on: a short, steep chop builds quickly in a southerly, the tidal streams through the Heads at Port Phillip Bay’s entrance are among the strongest in the country, and the weather changes fast. Sailors trained there tend to arrive well prepared for coastal passages.
