					  I have just finished a Day Skipper course with Gary and crew. It was the best thing I have done for ages. An immaculate, modern yacht with the best facilities... read more and amazing instructors who made my course so easy to understand and the greatest adrenalin buzz . I recommend Oceanwest for any yacht courses and imagine that a charter with Gary, Joanne and Nick would be unrivaled in fun, education and pure pleasure. Thank you so much Gary and team

					  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.

					  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.
