⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I had a great experience on the weekend, doing their 2-day RYA Powerboat Level 2 course.”

The course perfectly balanced theory and practical sessions, with only two or three students per boat, giving us plenty of personal instruction and time behind the wheel.

Douglas made the theory easy to understand, with extensive knowledge of boating, marine procedures and regulations, while Harry provided clear, practical instruction in piloting, navigation and safety.

The course culminated in a supervised passage from Middle Harbour to Watson’s Bay and back in challenging conditions.

A fantastic experience with knowledgeable instructors and plenty of hands-on learning. Highly recommended!" Andy C

What a week for the Flying Cloud crew at Hamilton Island Race Week - an amazing result of 3rd place in race 6!

Working as a team, making the most of the conditions and keeping the boat moving when it counts.

Second time sailing Hamilton Island Race Week with Flying Fish, Helen is back for another week of winter escape, trading cold weather for sunshine, sailing and a great crew. ☀️⛵️

She’s enjoying her second HIRW with Flying Fish, where the staff and crew create a supportive, patient and positive atmosphere throughout the week.

And three fun facts about Helen:
🚿 She sings in the shower
👽 She enjoys a good conspiracy theory
🧊 Her dream destination is Antarctica

Thanks for sharing these great shots Helen! 📸

Tricky conditions for the start of race 3 at Hamilton Island Race week - the combination of a busy start line, a down wind start, 30 knot squalls from different directions, and a narrowing exit channel as well as some tricky tidal streams meant we kept the kite in the bag for a while!

Cool, grey, damp and windy was the order of the day for day 3 of Hamilton Island Race week - but fantastic sailing nonetheless and a great day for all on board Flying Fish - Flying Cloud
