Charters | Oceanwest

Private yacht charters and sailing experiences – 4 hours $995 / 8 hours $1695

Try something different and go sailing on the waters of Geographe Bay in Australia’s South West. We have a range of options from short bay cruises with the dolphins, to weekend holidays at the beaches of Dunsborough or Busselton. Our yacht can accommodate up to 6 guests.

Anchor for lunch, or relax on the deck and soak up the sun and the sea air. Have a go at steering the yacht or take a swim off the swim platform. Whatever you choose, we can make the day a lot of fun and leave you with some great memories.

We can arrange full provisioning from simple sailors fare through to a delightful range of ship’s cuisine. On request we can also arrange a hostess to look after your needs.

What a great holiday change!! Please contact us on 0412 060 130 or email sailing@oceanwest.net.au

Weekend sailing trips in Geographe Bay – $695 per person (2 days / 1 night)

Join us for a fantastic weekend sailing adventure as we cruise along the WA coastline. This is an excellent chance to gain more sea miles and practice your navigation and boat handling skills or just to get away for the weekend and have fun sailing a beautiful yacht.

We depart Port Geographe Marina at 0900 on a Saturday morning and sail to Busselton and Geographe Bay. Take the helm and experience sailing an amazing Beneteau 41 ocean going cruising yacht. After a fun packed day we will spend the night on our Quindalup mooring or in Port Geographe marina before enjoying another fun day on the water on Sunday finishing back at the marina by 1600.

If you are new to sailing, this is a great way to see if the cruising life is for you! Your meals are included whilst onboard and Joeanne (our resident foodie!) ensures that the menu is always delicious and made from fresh local ingredients. Accommodation is on a twin share basis in one of the luxurious cabins onboard.

					  Even though I've sailed for many years, I've realized after completing the RYA Navathome online theory and the 5 day practical course with Gary onboard his beautiful 41ft yacht Samsara,... read more that there's so much to learn and always a better / safer way of doing things out on the water. 

Gary is a highly skilled, knowledgeable and professional instructor. He has a very patient, friendly and relaxed manner that puts people at ease, promoting confidence and enthusiasm to learn, even in those with little or no sailing experience.

My partner and I greatly enjoyed our time on board Samsara. She is fast, spacious, comfortable and responsive across a broad range of weather conditions, making for an exciting and fun sail learning experience.

Gary, Joanne and their team at Oceanwest Charters run a highly efficient and professional sailing school. We highly recommend them for all sailors who want to take their sailing experience and knowledge to the next level.

					  We are a group of five women who wanted to learn the basics of yachting on our own boat (Hanse 40) based in Fremantle. Gary was efficient and professional with... read more all aspects of the course, including the administration. We had perfect sunny weather and breezes for the two day course and so we were able to learn about and experience the yacht in all its glory - such as the "points of sail", man overboard routine, sailing terminology and, very importantly, working as a crew when leaving and entering the mooring. Gary was super patient and answered our many questions with grace and enthusiasm. We were all delighted with the course and, of course, receiving our certificates at the end. We would recommend Oceanwest Charters to anyone wanting to start from new, or going onto the more complex stages of yachting as some of us no doubt will in the future. Thank you Gary, Nick and Joanne.

He has a very patient, friendly... read more and relaxed manner that puts people at ease, promoting confidence and enthusiasm to learn, and such friendly chap. 

Sailing Geograph Bay and up to Bunbury on Samsara  was a awesome way to spend the week.

Thank you to Nic and Gary from Oceanwest Charters
