					  Completed my 5 day Competent Crew course with Gary and Oceanwest Charters. 

I had a fantastic week. Having never stepped foot on a yacht, I walked away feeling... read more very confident with the concepts of sailing as well as the technical details of the boat.

The course was well thought out, each one of us had plenty of time practising each new skill, we had ample time for relaxing and enjoying a swim, and the food was great. 

The course went above and beyond by including skills such as parking the boat in the marina and night sailing.

Overall I thought it was great value for money (a steal in fact) and I will be back to do more courses next summer

					  I’ve been thinking about doing my crew course for a number of years and when I finally got around to booking, Gary certainly didn’t disappoint! Gary as an instructor strikes... read more the perfect balance between skill building and fun. You are never short of a new sailing skill to learn or develop and it never ceases to amaze how he can make the whole process fun, relaxed and with plenty of humour injected! It certainly helps you get to enjoy the course onboard beautiful ‘Samsara’, the perfect vessel for a quality training and live-aboard experience. Highly recommended and I will certainly be back!

					  Hi, my name is Gianluca Cavaiola, I'm an Italian kiteboarder and surfer and the last October I had my first sailing experience with Gary, the instructor and owner of Oceanwest... read more Charter. I started from the "Competent Crew" sailing course and after that, I literally couldn't stop. The course was amazing, on a beautiful boat (Oceanis 41.1) at Geographe Bay near Busselton. During this course, I've learned so much, and for this reason, I decided to run through the theory courses (day skipper and Coastal skipper theory courses). I passed the theory exams and I went back on board of Gary's boat for two more weeks. During these two weeks, I become Day skipper and Coastal skipper and I had two perfect instructors: Gary and Nick. Their teaching techniques are brilliant, they always had the answer to all my questions and doubts. During the Coastal Skipper course, I had a chat with Gary and together we decided that my skills were high enough to give a try to the Yacht-Master exam. So, I booked one more practical course in may and Gary prepared myself for the exam in the best way possible. On the first day of the preparation course I was completely scared about the exam, but day after day, thanks to Gary I felt better and when the exam on Saturday came I was 100% ready and relaxed for it. After a long examination day, I passed my exam. My season with Oceanwest has been amazing and I couldn't imagine achieving this goal just in few months. I strongly recommend Oceanwest, a perfect sailing school for everyone and for every sailing level. The instructor skills and experience are so high that for me was always a good moment to learn something.  I'm proud that I've been one of your first students and also your last one for this season. Thank you, I do hope to see you soon for more.
