Unique Guest Experiences
After a busy day of negotiations or briefings, when you reach that point and you really need something different to do, then take them sailing!! We can provide a totally different activity that will be appreciated. Your guests can enjoy two or more hours sailing around Geographe Bay onboard Samsara, our luxurious cruising yacht.
Everybody onboard can relax and enjoy views of Busselton from the sea, or they can try sailing. There is plenty of space on board so guests do not feel crowded in which creates a good opportunity for conversations to flow in an easy and relaxed manner.
A four hour cruise costs $995 and you would need to allow 15 minutes pre and post cruise. If you have more time available, why not book a full 8 hour day cruise at $1995 and enjoy lunch onboard from our catering menu and a swim by the beach. Please contact us on 0412 060 130 or email sailing@oceanwest.net.au
Team Building
To keep an ocean going yacht running efficiently you need to be able to read the environment, communicate well, and work as a team that is capable of rapid decisions and flexible thinking.
We can custom design a corporate experience that takes participants through a series of challenges that emphasise the importance of communication, teamwork and cooperation. Qualified instructors will coordinate the program and this can be combined with onshore briefings. The program will help to build leadership in your team, and contribute to an espirit de corps that emerges from groups who have been challenged and have succeeded.
Prices start from $550 per person for a full day for up to 6 participants (minimum of 4).

Gary is a highly competent, professional, friendly and calm instructor. He managed to get me up to speed and ready for my Yacht master exam in just five days and... read more I had a blast doing it.
Samsara (the boat...a 41ft Beneteau) is a delight to sail and it is a genuine privilege to spend time aboard.
Gary's wife Joanne is a gorgeous lady who does an absolutely wonderful job of victualling. Food aboard is way above the standard of most tour boats...and far exceeded my expectations for a sailing school.
Despite a couple of strange personalities on my course, the vibe remained positive and Gary was unwavering in his professionalism and focus on the task at hand in a fun and friendly manner.
As a self taught sailor I was personally lacking a lot of the finer points of sailing and related skills but with the guidance and demonstration offered during the Oceanwest Yacht master exam prep week I ended up with not only a qualification...but a lot of new skills and a few new friends.
I would highly recommend Oceanwest for anyone wanting to begin, improve or learn anything about sailing.
Genuine heartfelt thanks to the whole team.

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.
