About the school

The Royal Brighton Yacht Club offers a superb facility and direct access to the expansive waters of Port Phillip Bay, a prime location for sail training. The bay's size allows for a full range of sailing experiences, from learning basic maneuvers in sheltered areas to navigating in more open and challenging conditions.

The location

Melbourne Airport (MEL), also known as Tullamarine Airport, is the primary international airport for reaching the Royal Brighton Yacht Club. From the airport, Middle Brighton is typically a 40-50 minute drive by taxi, ride hailing service, or rental car. Good public transport links, including trains to nearby stations followed by a short taxi or tram ride, are also available.

How to get there

The most favorable time for sailing on Port Phillip Bay is during the warmer months, from October to April. This period aligns with spring, summer, and autumn in Victoria, offering more reliable winds, comfortable temperatures, and extended daylight, all of which contribute to a better learning environment.
