Provider overview
AusSea Sailing School courses, location and services
AusSea Sailing School provides a staged IYT sailing pathway on Kogarah Bay and Botany Bay. A two-hour Try Sail leads into practical inshore levels on J24 keelboats, followed by offshore, racing and navigation days and an International Bareboat Skipper assessment. Students aiming to charter internationally can work towards IYT crew and skipper certificates, the ICC and VHF radio credentials without beginning on busy central Sydney Harbour.
Best for: South Sydney beginners, developing keelboat sailors, club racers and travellers preparing to charter a yacht overseas.

Where you learn
Courses depart from Botany Bay Yacht Club in Sans Souci, using Kogarah Bay and Botany Bay before advanced days extend towards Port Hacking or Sydney Harbour.

Before you book
Questions to ask AusSea Sailing School 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
Assessment-only options require documented experience. Ask which prior levels, sea time and theory components apply before selecting an advanced course.
