Smooth Water Cruising
Celebrate by Sail
At Celebrate by Sail we specialise in taking couples, families and small groups aboard our new Catalina Yacht for a memorable experience on the beautiful Broadwater on the Gold Coast. Our cruises are perfect for couples celebrating a special occasion, honeymooners looking for a romantic outing or a family wanting to experience the magic of sailing in the calm waters of the Broadwater.
Experience Sailing on the Broadwater
The Broadwater is perfect for even the most squeamish person. With tranquil waters, the Broadwater provides the ultimate location for sailing and enjoying a glass of champagne. Our cruises are perfect for couples and families who want to experience the magic of sailing for the first time. We recommend the best time to cruise is two hours before sunset to experience the most beautiful part of the day, longer cruises can be arranged by request.

The difference between us and other sailing companies is that we guarantee once you book a cruise you will be the only ones on the yacht. Why not escape from reality for a few hours and enjoy the company of family and friends or take you partner on a romantic Sailing Cruise. Our new Catalina sailing yacht is licensed to carry up to 7 passengers and a standard cruise lasts for 2 hours. We have a sailing cruise to suit anyone’s special occasion or getaway.

Sailing Lesson My husband and I took sailing lessons with Terry to prepare for our upcoming sailing week in the Whitsundays were we have hired a catamaran. I have never sailed before and found Terrys training AMAZING, i left feeling confident enough to go on our trip, and may even do a refresher just before we leave. Terry has a gift for being able to deliver information in a relevant manner that is easy to absorb and relevant to us. I would highly recommend learning to sail with him. It was very hands on and he made sure we understood everything. Terry is a very lovely human

Sailing lesson Terry was excellent teacher. Patient & explained well. We are to have a trip in the Whitsundays & the outing was well worth it to brush up on a teamwork approach to give us an enjoyable holiday.

Quick and efficient sailing course We had a great time on board of Stella Maris, Terry was an excellent instructor, we learned lots of sailing skills in a few hours. It was a great preparation crash course for our planned bare boat charter. Looking forward to go back again to learn more! Highly recommended!

First Sailing lesson Terry is a fabulous instructor. He is a natural and very understanding. As a family we are about to bareboat around the Whitsundays with zero sailing experience. Terry taught our family (11 & 14yrs kids) the basics which we all thoroughly enjoyed.The kids also had jobs and we were taught to work as part of a team/crew. We highly recommend Terry as your instructor and will always remember, If in doubt let it out and If its flappy it's not happy.

We had a great afternoon learning to sail. Terry was easy to communicate with in the lead up. He explained the process of sailing really well and by the end of the lesson we were tacking. We learned a lot in one lesson and I can’t wait to practise it all again. Highly recommend

Our family of 5 went for a private sailing lesson with Terry on his beautiful yacht this morning. We had an amazing time together and learned so much. Terry is a very knowledgeable and experienced sailing teacher. We highly recommend his hands on lesson.

Booked Terry for my 33rd birthday and had a few friends on board. Everyone raved about how amazing the experience was from beginning to end. Terry was a great host. Very relaxed and let us do our own thing. We will definitely be back again!

An amazing sailing experience for my 7 year old daughter and myself. Terry provided a relaxed environment to learn some of the basics of sailing whilst enabling a fun and memorable sailing experience for the both of us. A great way to experience the Gold Coast from the water.

This was a wonder Birthday present for my fiancé. He absolutely loved it. Terry was great and tailored the Learn To Sail course to our abilities as we had a little prior boating knowledge. So much fun and such a beautiful afternoon!

Terry, was just Brilliant, his whole aim was us to walk before we could run. To make sure that we understand the Don’t,s before we were in the open water. So that when we were out on the open water we were confident in doing things safely and without hurting ourselves. When out on the water he chose the most confident one to steer and the less confident one of us to work the winches and sales. So that as a team we sailed as well and safely as possible.Anyone wanting to step out on the water in Confidence should book a lesson with Terry first.We both loved the experience and would recommend Terry to anyone with full confidence that you will not only have an excellent time out on the water but a safe and knowledgeable understanding of boating/sailing also.

Amazing experience and a perfect time. Terry is amazing and could not praise our experience high enough. Surprised my partner with the trip and was the perfect setting to pop the question and propose with such a beautiful afternoon.

Finally got out for a lesson. Terry can take up to 4 students. I ended up taking only my partner so we would have a more hands on intense time out on the water. Learnt a lot. You can only do so much theory before you have to grind a winch. Terry is a great teacher. Calm and knowledgeable and kept asking questions of us. I recommend him highly

Terry has been professional in his instructing and polite. As a group, we all agreed that we felt more confident after the course. We all really enjoyed how Terry explained the purpose in the actions we do and this really helps us understand and remember. There was a few that couldn't come, and we all agreed that they have missed out! :) thanks Terry for the lesson we will be sure to send you the photos of us in whitsunday

From our first contact, Terry was friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. Our family of four enjoyed a learn to sail session filled with expert tuition and hands on experience. Terry tailored the lesson to suit our individual strengths, even getting Mr X-box involved.We had a great time on the water with him and highly recommend Celebrate by Sail Gold Coast.
