					  I have just had a week on Samsara and it was fantastic. The yacht is beautiful, clean and spacious... the swimming platform to die for. The food was excellently planned,... read more plentiful and tasty... I was active all week but still managed to put weight on... having a meal prepared and in the fridge was so welcomed after a days sailing. Gary is a fantastic teacher and coach. He using a nurturing approach to help build your confidence. He was very attentive and safety conscious, readily sharing his knowledge and never seeming to tire of answering questions...even when I asked him something for a second or third time. I cannot recommend Gary and Oceanwest Sailing highly enough and have already booked my next trip!

					  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.

					  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
