A great experience! - What a wonderful way to spend time in Sydney!!! Our guide, Onur, was both knowledgeable and passionate about sailing and made us all feel comfortable even though we had little to no experience sailing. He gave each of us a chance to participate in steering and jibing and we learned so much! A wonderful introduction to sailing and a great way to see many of the beaches and bays. One of the best experiences we had in Sydney. Highly recommended!

Great hands-on sailing experience - We had an amazing time on the harbour. Olivia was a great skipper and guide. We got to do as much or as little as we wanted to. This was a birthday gift for my girlfriend who's been sailing for most of her life so she wanted to be very hands on. She loved it!! The views were spectacular, we saw a race near us, jellyfish and so much more.

Fantastic afternoon on the harbour - We had a fantastic day learning to sail. Instructor Onur was awesome, giving us all the help we needed to quickly and confidently get out into the harbour. The boat was fast and clean and the trip around the harbour offered beautiful views. Would highly recommend!

Do you want to learn how to sail while having a heckuva good time?? - We learned all the major tasks for sailing a small sailboat and got tons of guided practice at each station. It was both a great learning and leisure experience as the sights were also spectacular.

Sailing from Manly with Becky - We went sailing with Becky. She is a very experienced sailor. Winds unfortunately didn’t cooperate being light and variable. We nonetheless had a good time and picked up some sailing tips and experience
