Description

Explore Whitsundays Sail Training teaches you to learn to sail in Australia's premier sailing ground, the Whitsunday Islands. The Explore Whitsundays Sail Training conducts various maritime courses. Their Sail Training courses work for participants, whether they are learning for recreational or commercial purposes and meet the National Standards for Commercial Vessels (NSCV).

All the crew are qualified professionals, providing guests with gourmet meals and sharing their knowledge of the local ecology. Guests are given the opportunity to have a 'hands on' experience by helping the crew with the workings of the yacht. Courses available are the three day two night Introduction to Sailing, six day five night Commercial Crew Certificate, or a 23 Day program designed for people looking to start a career in the marine charter industry, Sail Learn to Earn.
