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 two hour cruise costs $795, four hour cruises cost $995 and you would need to allow 15 minutes pre and post cruise. If you have more time available, why not book a full day cruise at $1795 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 $450 per person for a full day for up to 6 participants (minimum of 4).

Just returned from a two week adventure sailing trip from Exmouth to Bunbury, it was a fantastic 14 days of learning and adventure. We were welcomed to the yacht early... read more and helped to settle in. Made to feel very welcome. Great introductions and given time to discuss what we wanted to gain from our time on-board.
Fantastic yacht, Samsara is a delight to sail and it is a genuine privilege to spend time aboard. The food was varied and plentiful, with careful attention to victualling so that there was always easily accessible and wholesome food available.
Very professional, great instruction focused to individual requirements offering a very enjoyable environment to learn. Nick was so knowledgeable, not only about sailing but also any wildlife we encountered, always willing to share his knowledge. He was inspiring and encouraging throughout the journey, even when asked questions during the night watches. Nick carefully took time to reflect on any skills that needed further development before giving us the opportunity to practice them further. We had varied conditions from calm seas to some challenging conditions, with far too many highlights to mention snorkelling in the Abrolhos islands, the humpbacks, sailing out of Steep Point or through Shark Bay so many.
It was truly a memorable experience, and I cannot recommend Oceanwest Charters highly enough.

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

Had some great time completing the RYA day skipper course with OceanWest Charters in Busselton.
Gary is an extremely knowledgeable, highly skilled and experienced teacher. And maybe the most... read more important excellent in transferring those sailing skills to his students.
If you are looking for a sailing school in WA (either to learn how to sail or improve existing skills) I would highly recommend Oceanwest Charters from Geographe Bay.
Gary's yacht is exceptional, near new and extremely comfy. I've been sailing the Mediterranean in the past years and spent weeks in a variety of sailing yachts but Gary's custom specked Beneteau Oceanis 41 beats them all.
Marina in Geographe Bay is great with clean ablution block.
Food was delicious
If you're lucky having some strong winds you'll have some fun - not for the faint-hearted though 🙂
After such a great experience I have gladly booked another week in April this year to further build my sailing skills as there's a lot to learn from Gary.
