					  Just returned from a two week adventure sailing trip from Busselton to Exmouth in some varied and sometimes challenging conditions. The highlights included exploring the Abrolhos islands, playing with the... read more sea lions, snorkeling in Coral Bay and enjoying the best sunsets, sunrises and moonlit nights on watch. Our skipper Nick was fantastic, very caring, knowledgeable, patient and fun.  Overall it was a very well organised tour, a truly memorable experience.

					  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.

					  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
