 Learn to sail or become a sailing pro: Flying Fish is proud of its unique status as the only Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Sailing School where you can learn to sail both in Sydney Harbour and at the RYA's home ports of Hamble and Cowes in the UK. In Sydney, you can also learn to sail on our Yachting Australia courses.
Flying Fish Australia is based in the spectacular sailing setting of Sydney's Middle Harbour Yacht Club. We operate a fleet of comfortable Beneteau 40.7 cruiser/racers which are ideal for learning to sail and a McIntyre 55 ocean racing yacht for extended offshore passages.
Our dinghy fleet includes six two person Magno sailing dinghies (complete with assymetric spinnakers and trapezes) and six Laser Pico singlehander dinghies which are ideal for juniors learning to sail.
Learn to sail in Sydney: Our weekend courses include Start Yachting, Competent Crew, Day Skipper and Inshore Skipper. We also run spinnaker training, dinghy sailing and powerboat courses. Our five day live-aboard options include Competent Crew, Day Skipper, Coastal Skipper and Yachtmaster.
