Read the in-depth interview →Adventure Sailing turns sailing lessons into genuine time at sea. From Port Geographe near Busselton, students can join three- or five-day IYT liveaboard catamaran courses, build crew and skippering skills on Geographe Bay, or work towards International Crew, Flotilla Skipper and Bareboat Skipper certification. Recreational Skipper's Ticket, marine radio and commercial maritime options create a broader pathway for learners whose goals extend beyond a first sailing course.
Best for: Beginners wanting an immersive first course, sailors building logged sea time, and future skippers who prefer learning on a cruising catamaran.

Before you book
Questions to ask Adventure Sailing before booking
- Which body certifies this course, and who issues the certificate?
- How many students per instructor, per boat?
- What boat will I actually be on, and how old is it?
- Is the instructor's qualification current, and what else do they hold?
- How many hours are on the water, as distinct from total course hours?
- What happens if the weather cancels a day — reschedule, credit or refund?
- Will I get a signed logbook entry with miles and night hours?
- Is the certificate included, or an extra fee?
- What's the assessment — continuous, or a test at the end?
- What's the next course, and how long should I sail before taking it?
Worth checking first
Higher IYT levels require prior experience, logged sea time and marine-radio knowledge; confirm prerequisites and the departure point before booking.
