What an absolutely wonderful 5 star experience. We had such an amazing time on our 6 hour sailing trip, and it was honestly one of those experiences we will never forget. Terry the owner was fantastic from start to finish and made everything feel so easy, comfortable and relaxed. His friendly and calm nature allowed us to just switch off, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and really make the most of the day. I booked the sailing trip as a birthday gift for my partner, and it turned out to be the perfect way to celebrate his special day. We both loved every minute of it and came away with such beautiful memories. Thank you so much, Terry, for making the experience so enjoyable and memorable. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a special, relaxing and unforgettable day out on the water ⛵️❤️

We booked the Prepare for Bare Boating course feeling really nervous about handling a boat on our own. Terry was fantastic and taught us all the skills we needed (handling the sheets, helming, navigating, anchoring, etc). He was also very patient and made sure we understood what he was saying before continuing. By the time we finished our lessons, we couldn't wait to start our bareboating adventure! The trip itself was incredible, and we are so glad we took the course first; it made such a difference. Thank you so much Terry!

We did the 3‑hour Learn to Sail course with Terry and absolutely loved it. Terry was incredibly focused on safety and made sure we had the right foundations from the very beginning, which gave us a lot of confidence on the water. His calm, clear teaching style turned it into a really fun and enjoyable learning experience. Highly recommend Sail Gold Coast and Terry to anyone wanting to start sailing.

Had a very chilled 3 hours cruising with Terry and my 6 besties! Was simply a relaxing, refreshing and revitalising way to spend an arvo evening. Take your own nibbles and drinks, remembering to take all your rubbish afterwards.....what could beat 3 hours sailing/cruising up and down our beautiful north GC coastline. Terry was very accommodating. Would definitely do it again! Thanks 😊

We absolutely loved our sailing class with Terry. We did it as a family with our 12, 11 and 6 year old, and he kept all of the kids fully engaged. It was relaxed, fun and incredibly well run, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Terry has a wonderful way of teaching that works for both adults and children and has instilled a new love of sailing within us all. We would recommend it to anyone.

Had an awesome experience learning to sail with Terry!! Terry gave really interesting lessons (both theory and practice) about sailing, and everything is easy to understand! He’s super patient and makes learning feel really fun and approachable. Sailing is a very different experience as a learner (vs passenger), and the whole experience was very chill. I went solo, had a great time out on the waters, and will definitely be back to learn more! Thanks for the awesome day!

The four of us recently completed the pre-charter course with Terry over 2 days. He is a very competent trainer with an extremely easy manner and is a pleasure to be around. The way that he explains things, is very logical and easy to understand and he does not rush. He also talks very visually which makes it simple to remember things. The pre-charter course initially covers safety on board, the basics of using the winches and trimming the sails, which really put us all at ease, as we all have different abilities and experience, and none of us had sailed together before. We then moved on to mooring, dropping the anchor, and making sure that the boat is secure in the event of high winds or overnight. He even threw in 1 hour charting and mapping which we had only touched on before for free. Over the 2 days we learnt to work together as a team, and were all allocated default positions around the boat, so we all knew where we were going to be working and where to jump to when we needing to manoeuvre. Terry’s boat was stunning and impeccably looked after, we felt like we were in luxury even though we were not sleeping on board. Next time Terry! We would not hesitate to recommend Terry to anyone either wanting to learn to sail, have a refresh or for the pre-charter course and will be using him in the future for a fun sail up to Jumping Pin. Thanks so much Terry!

Had our first real sailing lesson with Terry, what can I say other than how great it was. His teaching style is outstanding and made everything flow and helped us piece together the process whilst safety was his priority. We’ve had motorised launches previously and had many hrs on the water traversing the east coast of NZ but never had a desire to understand sailing. The lesson gave my wife confidence that she wants to learn more and now more aligned to my desire to sail the Med for a few yrs. Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves the water and wants to understand the principles of sailing a boat.

We have lived on the Goldie for decades and we are still learning the local history. Terry was great with passing on this knowledge of both the waterways and sailing. Highly recommend getting out there and embrace the experience....

Terry did a great job of teaching us some of the boating basics we will need for our Bareboating holiday in the Whitsundays. The course has no doubt provided us with the basic skills we will require while travelling the islands and has removed a lot of the trepidation we felt about managing a large vessel in unfamiliar waters. A great experience.

Enjoyed a 3 hour sailing lesson with Terry who is a very accommodating instructor adapting his knowledge to the students current competency level. He not only teaches the fundamentals but also ensures you know why each action or control is carried out. After this lesson you will walk away with a lot more confidence to sail your own bareboat charter. Terry is a patient and top all round bloke who will make you feel comfortable with your learning to sail experience. Don't hesitate to book your lesson as you wont be dissapointed! Thanks Terry!!

Terry from Sail Gold Coast is absolutely amazing. From the very first contact, communication was excellent. The sailing lesson combines various stages of gaining knowledge and we took away so much information and practical skills from our first lesson. Terry is knowledgeable, practical and very friendly. He makes you feel relaxed and enables you to handle the sails and helm. I would highly recommend Terry from Sail Gold Coast.

This time my family and I did a couple of sessions with Terry before going, felt much more confident and had a great time - couldn’t wait to get the sails up. Also good for planning trip and anchoring without stress. Recommend to anyone planning on doing a charter with minimal experience, thank you! .

A crucial introduction to sailing. Our small group ranged from a seasoned power boater to never having stepped on a boat, we all got what we needed. Terry combined clear instruction and hands on experience to give us a solid foundation. Within 3 hours, our group walked away feeling confident and excited to sail.

4 of us decided to organise a bare boat catamaran sail charter in the Whitsundays so we could experience sailing. We are all boaters but have not sailed before. Wanting to make the most of the experience I contacted Terry from Sail Gold Coast and organised a sailing lesson to give us a head start. Our initial booking saw us at the marina on Terry’s yacht learning the basic do’s and do nots which with Terry’s guidance and explanations was easy to understand and follow. Unfortunately as we moved from the Marina into the Broadwater a vicious Gold coast storm came rushing at us and it was decided to postpone the rest of the lesson for another day. Several months later and just in the nick of time we managed to get the second half of the lesson done and dusted. Again with Terry expert knowledge and explanations we had a most enjoyable and informative afternoon sailing. We are by no means experts but we do feel confident that we will now be able to enjoy our planned excursion next weekend with some degree of confidence. Thanks for all your help Terry. I highly recommend your services to anyone wanting to learn to sail Kind regards Peter and Sue Russell

Brilliant The 3 of us had limited sailing experience but after Terrys course we all felt reasonably confident. Along with our partners we hired a 40 foot catamaran and confidently sailed around the Whitsundays for 7 days- full sail and Jib - winds ranging from 5 - 25 knots from either the SW SE - we had a blast.

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

Took the family - 2 young kids - on the 3hr learn to sail lesson. Absolutely fantastic experience! Terry is amazing, great to teach and to build your confidence, and the Broadwater is a very good place to learn the basics. the kids had a great time - definitely something to do on a weekend, and now very keen to go to the next level and sail the Whitsundays!! Thanks Terry for the experience and the fun!

Best sailing experience ! Absolutely amazing experience, probably one of my best so far in the Gold Coast! Perfect to learn the basics of sailing - step by step - and in a fun way! I’ve always been scared of sailing, but after this, I know my next holiday will be on the Whitsundays!Did this with 2 kids (10yo), and they learnt a lot too and had lots of fun. Thanks Terry for the day!

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.

My partner spoilt me on my birthday and organised a 6 hr sail on the Broadwater. We went sailing with Terry on the Broadwater sailing up to the tip of South Stradbroke and back to Runaway Bay. Our day was awesome. Terry is a great guy, respectful of our privacy, knowledgeable and very approachable on all levels. We will be sailing with Terry again in the future. Thanks Terry. We had an awesome time. Shaun & Kazumi
