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 $1695 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).

We chartered Oceanwest's Beneteau Oceanis 46, skippered by Nick for a sunset sail around Busselton Jetty. From the initial contact with Gary to book in the charter, we could tell... read more this was a highly professional operation compared to some of the experiences we've had with other organisations in the past which were haphazard.
Starting at the Port Geographe Marina, we sailed out past the jetty and then alongside which was impressive given the shallow water and sand bars.
Nick is a very experienced sailor and he made sure that we were comfortable for the whole time by minimising the heeling the boat, leaving us to relax and take in the sights. We would definitely recommend going on a charter with Oceanwest, even taking advantage of a full day charter to see more of the area.

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.

We had a great week completing our RYA Coastal skippers coarse. Our Skipper Nic is a highly skilled, knowledgeable and experienced instructor. 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
