EastSail wins Two Gold Awards in the NSW Tourism Awards
EastSail wins 2 Gold Awards in the NSW Tourism Awards in the categories Adventure Tourism and Unique Accommodation.
The Adventure Tourism category was awarded to EastSail for their corporate and incentive sailing regattas and adventure cruises whilst the Unique Accommodation category was awarded for their overnight indulgence and opulence packages.
EastSail, Sydneys’ premier yacht charter company, located 10 minutes from the Sydney CBD and adjacent to the prestigious Cruising Yacht Club of Australia in Rushcutters Bay, was founded in September 1983, launched on the same day that Australia 2 won the America’s cup, auspicious beginnings indeed for Deborah McCawley and Peter Franki. With their passion for sailing they intended to turn their dream of owning a successful sailing school and luxury yacht charter company into a reality.
Their innate sense of adventure, tenacity and determination has led these young entrepreneurs through the twenty seven year journey which is EastSail. The company has grown from 2 employees and a single 6.9 metre yacht to a full time staff of 16, over 50 casuals and a fleet of 30 commercially surveyed, high quality performance yachts and cruisers.
EastSail prides themselves in being the premier sailing school, yacht charter company and corporate sailing organiser in Australia setting the benchmark for other companies to aspire to. They have worked hard on developing a wide range of products designed to suit individual requirements across all market segments accommodating couples looking for romance and small intimate groups, to client entertainment and incentive events for groups of up to 500.

The Seven Sided Offshore Trip
HURRY - there are only a few places left for the seven sided offshore adventure sailing trip is on again - following the success of last years voyage our brand new Beneteau First 40 is heading north in July skippered by RYA/YA Yachtmaster Instructor Brien Daniel. It will be a scenic way to cover the RYA/YA Competent Crew, Dayskipper or Coastal Skipper course and learn more about coastal sailing, living aboard a yacht for 7-8 days whilst building up valuable sea miles.
Last year the crews saw some great sights - dolphins play at the bow, turtles floating by, whales putting on the most incredible show of breeching and sailing through the night with a full moon, there were also some challenges put to the crews.
Much planning was required to navigate the Great Sandy Straights (inside Fraser Island), timing the tides and shallow areas, getting inside and outside of the Wide Bay Bar, and the occasional 35k wind that tested all on board. With a strong and well prepared yacht, the crew came through all that was put to them, and gained some invaluable experiences that will put them in great stead for their future sailing careers.
Eastsail are doing the trips again this year… why not have a look at coming along, it is a great experience. Check out the dates
