Sailing for Beginners with Blue Peter September 2026 Teresa Cause
Is 2026 your year for new adventures? 
Have you ever dreamed of learning to sail?

On the edge of Brisbane the rich and wild Moreton Bay is so close - come for a weekend of sailing for beginners with Blue Peter -
you'll be so glad you did ????

Horizon Guides is once again teaming up with Jono Goss and the Skippers of Blue Peter / The Sea School to offer you three days of sail training on Moreton Bay with two nights of beach camping on beautiful Minjerribah. 

September is a lovely time to be on the Bay with conditions at this time of the year usually bringing SE trade winds and clear night skies. 

WHEN: Friday 4 - Sunday 6th September 2026
Included on this unique weekend experience are: all specialist sailing and safety equipment, training from a qualified skipper on each boat. Teresa from Horizon Guides will be on the trip providing logistical and camp support.
All meals and snacks (prepared by Yonna - our wonderful caterer!)
* You will need to supply your own general camping equipment. If required, limited equipment is available. A packing list will be sent with confirmation of booking.
 
 ⛵️ Victoria Point is our starting point for exploring Moreton Bay - Quandamooka Country  - one of Australia's most incredible natural areas.
 
What to expect:
- Hands on sailing experience under the care and guidance of expert Skippers who know and love the Bay. This can be as much or as little 'hands-on' as you feel comfortable with. There is time to get your sea legs, gain confidence and literally learn the ropes and the vagaries of wind!
- Explanation and practice of basic seamanship, sailing terms and navigation.
- Basic skills development over the few days.
- Blue Peter craft are designed for teaching so everyone gets involved! Don't expect to be lying about on a luxury yacht experience...
- Two nights camped on Minjerribah/Stradbroke Island

- Saturday will be a full day out on the Bay exploring around Peel Island with some time ashore to walk and swim.

The cost of the weekend will depend on final numbers - expect the price to be around $1,650 pp Ex Victoria Point. 
This is based on two craft (Minimum 6 participants) and 3 staff.
Deposit of $500pp is required to secure your place on the trip. 
Full details will be emailed well prior to the weekend, including a packing list.

"I absolutely loved this sailing weekend. Learnt lots and had a great time!! Jono is an excellent teacher .  He explains things clearly and patiently. He does a lot to inspire and empower young people, some of whom have experienced quite difficult circumstances, which I think is just awesome . Teresa leads trips in a style which is collaborative and sensitive to the needs of others, and shares a lot of knowledge about the environment. It was fabulous to see Moreton Bay this way and camp in such a beautiful location. The food was excellent! Best beetroot cake ever!"
