Student Comments
We regularly receive feedback from our MileCatchers students about their voyage and experiences. Read just a couple of exerpts from recent happy sailors!
I would definitely recommend the MileCatchers Course to friends. The nature of the trip from Hamilton to Lizard Island means that it is a much a holiday as it is about sailing.
Steven Purdie - June 2001 (Hamilton Island to Lizard Island).
I would highly recommend the experience in every way. The opportunity to skipper a yacht to the Great Barrier Reef was amazing! In 10 days I learned a huge amount, had challenge and stimulation as well as times to chill out, and had great fun while doing it! Kate Adam - June 2005 (Port Douglas to Hamilton Island).
Absolutely exceeded my every expectation. I loved every moment of it. Certainly would recommend it to others and I will book again.
Bill Gordon - May 2001 (Hamilton Island to Lizard Island return).
I want to pass along my gratitude for the opportunity and encouragement to participate in the Curlew delivery to Sydney. It was an incredible and memorable experience, and I am now officially hooked on sailing. Everyone at Sunsail has been great - my instructors Mark and Roscoe both encouraged me to take the leap and go on the delivery, and in the end it was you who convinced me (what a salesman). I can't say enough about Nick. He is a fantastic skipper - he was very professional, patient, postive and great teacher along the way, and my crewmates were great guys as well. The fact that I stayed aboard through to Sydney speaks volumes, given I intially had other plans. I am planning on staying on in Sydney for a while to continue to build my sailing skills and will likely enrol in a skipper's course with Sunsail. Please pass my gratitude on to your team. Thanks again for everything.
