EXCELLENT Based on 99 reviews AP Srinivasan2025-02-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave and Luke were amazing teachers! They were patient and talked us through everything while still allowing us to make mistakes and learn. My wife and I had an amazing weekend learning to sail and are signing up for the next level. It’s a great spot as well with lovely beaches around. Would highly recommend 😄 Scott Halfpenny2024-11-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Anne B2024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This school made my sailing dreams come true! I came from Canada to Australia to complete my RYA Competent Crew and Day Skipper courses with Sunshine Sailing. Dave and Rachel were so helpful with organizing my courses, and making sure I completed my course requirements before I flew home. All of the training vessels are in great condition, and the instructors were very knowledgeable, personable and patient. I have to add that the sailing areas are absolutely gorgeous around Mooloolaba, and the Whitsunday islands. My first time ever sailing was with Sunshine Sailing, and the notable efforts of the staff made my experience something I’ll treasure for a lifetime. This school cares about their students achieving their goals, and will go above and beyond to make it happen. Thank you SSA team for making me a sailor! I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to get out on the water! Nigel Hall2024-05-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did our Day Skipper through SSA and really enjoyed the experience. Yachts are in good order, Dave and Rachel are super helpful and the coaches knowledgeable and great at what they do. If you plan to start sailing, buy a boat or just charter one , this course is an essential as it gets you excellent experience, saves on insurance and can really help in that buy decision on a yacht which could save you thousands. Gail Stuart2024-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went sailing with these guys. Can’t praise them enough. Incredibly helpful, friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately I felt a little sea sick and they were totally understanding, with lots of helpful tips. I was only on a one day sail, but they were keen to get me learning asap. Give them a try, I’m sure you won’t regret it! Donna Pascoe2024-01-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Last month we completed our Competent Crew onboard Giddy Up out of Newport. Our Captain, Peter, was excellent in guiding us through our course and showed excellent knowledge of sailing and of Moreton Bay. We had the added advantage of welcoming Will onboard and he was equally helpful and answered any questions the crew had. We completed two night sails and a pilotage up the Brisbane River which was amazing. Our growth and confidence over the 5 days has encouraged us to get ready for our Day Skipper Course. Thanks to Rachael and Dave for facilitating and going above and beyond to ensure our experience was a great one! tony watts2023-12-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an experience! We did the competent crew course with Pete and had an absolute blast.. The boat was great to learn on very comfortable and Pete was a phenomenal instructor and a bottomless well of knowledge.. I highly recommend anyone wanting go from absolute novice ( as I am) to feeling useful on a boat to give this course a go.. Clint Wright2023-11-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had our first learn to sail experience on the weekend with our instructor Richard off the Fraser Coast. Was such a great taste of sailing and Richard was an awesome and patient teacher with a real passion for sharing his love of sailing. A really fun weekend and has left us wanting to learn everything we can and get right into the sailing experience. Highly recommend these guys. Jeffrey Brewer2023-10-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whales, whales and then more whales. Dugongs thats right dugongs, and of course dolphins, a turtle, a hammerhead shark and a small Ray. So we did of 5 day sailing course (passed) and these where just a few things we saw (lucky us) . Instructor and the team at the school where excellent. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the 5days at sea. See you next week when we do our day skipper. Cheers Jeff
