					  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!

					  Can't rave enough about Oceanwest's customer service. I ordered the Coastal Skipper online materials from them and not only found the price better than other places I explored but found... read more their responsiveness and customer service above and beyond. I live in China, and when materials got held up in customs, Oceanwest's team continued to pursue making sure I received the materials, despite the headaches of different time zones, languages, and systems. I look forward to sailing with them in Australia in the future.

					  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.
