Location
Mandurah Yacht Academy
Mandurah Yacht Academy is located near the Breakwater Parade boat ramp in Mandurah. Most of our training is done on a 32 ft Whiting racing yacht suitable for beginners as well as advanced students. If you want to train on your own yacht then that can also be arranged. With a wide variety of courses available, you are only a phone call away from starting your sailing adventure...
Notes: I can also deliver your boat from anywhere in Australia to anywhere in the world or vice versa. With a qualified crew and skipper and fully insured, you know you and your boat are in good hands.
Training and assessment

International License Training/Assessment
Notes: Most of our training is done on our fleet of J24s. A great boat for beginners but also offers challenges for more experienced sailors... We also have a very fast Whiting 1/2 tonne racing yacht for those wanting the ultimate experience...
