Wellington Ocean Sports - Oriental Bay
About Wellington Ocean Sports
The Wellington Ocean Sports Centre began on 3 July 1993 as the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club’s Sailing Academy. Originally based at the northern end of the Overseas Passenger Terminal, we began with a purely sailing focus using our two purpose built Muir 8.2m keelboats, Port Nic 1 and Port Nic 2.
In November 2008, we moved to our current location in the RPNYC’s historic former clubrooms. The newly renovated facility was opened by sailing legend Sir Peter Blake.
Since then we have expanded our offering to a range of ocean sports, include SUP and kayaking, and become the Wellington Ocean Sports Centre.
We are still part of the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club, one of New Zealand oldest sporting clubs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I did the Learn to Sail course this week. This is a great course if you want to .. learn to sail. The instructors are top-notch (and patient at the same time). Learn from the pros and enrol. Before you set off, buy sunglasses and a string that ties your hat or cap to your main gear.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great team at Wellington Ocean Sports. My partner and I attended the Level 1 course over a couple of weekends. Good mix of theory and sailing with most of the time spent on the water. The instructors are patient, knowledgeable and approachable. Even when the wind gusted to 25-40 knots it felt safe and fun to be on the water. This was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to sail again.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Took the level 1 Learn-To-Sail course. Graeme was a great teacher, had a perfect balance of class time and on-the-water time. Already booked my subsequent course before this one finished!! Highly recommend.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a 2 hr sail with James as our Skipper, very informative on learning to sail and he even conjured up a massive pod of dolphins which was a amazing experience ??

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing experience with Wellington Ocean Sport, I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. I recently attended their awesome Learn to Sail course as a complete novice and came away with a firm grasp of all the fundamentals. The course was well run - very professional but also friendly and jovial (we had two immense instructors in Jim and Graham). I've already booked my next course and look forward to joining the club and racing :-)... thanks so much guys

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An excellent introduction to the seemingly daunting world of sailing.
This course doesn't leave you stuck in the classroom all day, watching videos and looking at slideshows! The vast majority of the course is spent out on Wellington Harbour, learning through hands-on interaction with the boats.
Yes, it can be a little bit full-on at times and some parts of my body hurt that I didn't know existed, but ultimately it is a rewarding and unique opportunity to gain essential skills in a fascinating sport and leisure activity.
