Flying Fish Sailing: learn sailing skills on Sydney Harbour
Flying Fish Sailing offers practical RYA sailing training in Sydney, from beginner courses to Day Skipper, Yachtmaster and professional qualifications. Based at Middle Harbour Yacht Club, it gives newcomers and experienced sailors ways to develop their role aboard a yacht.
Explore the coast with another skill
If visiting dive locations has sparked an interest in boating more broadly, sailing offers plenty to learn. Flying Fish teaches the practical work of sailing alongside the decisions that make a trip run well. Learners can start with the basics or build towards taking charge of the vessel.
We like the range of ambitions the school accommodates. Someone who wants to be useful crew doesn't have to set a professional goal. For those who do want to work on boats, modular and fast-track pathways provide more extensive training options.
Learn about the boat around you
The wider course offering includes navigation, radio, engines, maintenance and electrical systems. Racing and offshore opportunities add different settings in which to build experience. The school has been operating for more than 30 years, with an offering that covers both recreational enjoyment and professional development.
We feature Flying Fish because it turns an interest in boats into something actionable. Our readers already have reasons to spend time on the water; learning to sail adds another. Practical instruction in Sydney gives that interest a starting point and room to grow as experience builds.
