Yeppoon to Mackay

Our Yeppoon to Mackay sail may look a little like this.

Our sail from Yeppoon to Mackay is approximately 250nm.

This passage will provide a taste of the cruising life. There will be passages which may commence at the crack of dawn or arrive after dark. Some passages will need to be timed so as to take into consideration distances, pilotage for entering an anchorage, weather and tides/currents.

There may be long days aboard but these will be rewarded with time ashore at our destination.

Your safety is of paramount importance and our sailing route, anchorages and destinations along the way will be decided with your safety as a priority. The winds and weather will be our guide.

The mile builder is an opportunity for those wishing to gain sea miles, experience sailing at night, consolidate skills or just experience the cruising lifestyle.

There is the option to complete sail training whilst aboard (RYA Certificate) including RYA Competent Crew, Day Skipper or Coastal Skipper.

There will be all levels of experience aboard with participants completing different courses based on his/her level of experience. The instructor will tailor the learning to meet each participants learning goals whilst also ensuring each participant develops the confidence and skills/knowledge to continue safe and harmonious sailing into the future.

Please note, for safety and comfort of our sail, routes and anchorages will be altered to suit our variables – weather and tide.
