Flying Fish Sailing: learn to sail on Sydney Harbour
Flying Fish Sailing offers sailing lessons and RYA training in Sydney, from introductory sailing to Day Skipper, Yachtmaster and professional pathways. It gives people who already love the water another set of practical skills to learn above the surface.
Take a more active role aboard
Enjoying boats as a passenger can lead to wanting more involvement in running one. Flying Fish teaches practical sailing from Middle Harbour Yacht Club, giving learners a setting to work on handling sails, coordinating with crew and understanding the decisions behind a trip.
We like that newcomers have a place to start without committing to a professional programme. At the same time, the school offers more advanced training, including modular and fast-track pathways, for those who want to keep progressing. Recreational and career goals both have room in the offering.
Learn more than sail handling
Navigation, radio, engines, maintenance and electrical systems are included in the school's wider teaching. Racing and offshore sailing opportunities add other ways to build experience. With more than 30 years behind the business, Flying Fish has developed an offering that reaches well beyond a single introductory outing.
We feature it because curiosity about the sea often crosses activities. A diver interested in sailing can learn the skills to become crew or work towards skippering, rather than staying a passenger. Flying Fish offers a direct route into that learning, with practical courses based in Sydney and a pathway for taking the interest further.
