Sailing with Captain Wayne was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped on board, I felt very welcoming. My cabin was not only comfortable and entire yacht well-kept but also had the perfect amount of space for my yoga practice and some much-needed privacy. Wayne is a true knowledgeable, respectful and always focused on safety. He’s also an awesome sailing coach and encouragement that made the whole experience even better. But beyond all that, Wayne is just a great guy to be around. His love for the ocean is contagious and he’s the kind of person you want to share a voyage with. If you're looking for a top-notch sailing experience with a captain who knows Australia's seas and makes the trip incredible, Wayne’s your North Star ?

Amazing trip

We were 2 girls on a 2 day sailing trip to the Whitsunday Islands. Wayne was very nice and we felt safe and comfortable - a very hospitable person. He had everything under control and you could relax as guests. We can definitely recommend to go sailing with Wayne. Really good experience from here.

Amazing Skipper and Vessel

We would give 10 stars if we could! We sailed around the Whitsundays with Wayne and it is something we will never forget. The timing of our arrivals and sails were skillful - we avoided the crowds and often had the views and water to ourselves. The Quantum Leap is a comfortable boat with plenty of room and great layout. I’m now a catamaran convert. We throughly enjoyed Wayne’s company and loved his passion for sailing… it’s infectious. His knowledge of sailing, the waters, and islands is vast. We would love to sail with him again!

I've had two seperate trips on this vessel. From Dampier WA through the Kimberley to Darwin. And recently crewing around Airlie. I have also delivered another vessel with the owner/master from Airlie to GC. This vessel is clean and very comfortable with a private cabin and plenty of living space. The master is very competent and knowledgeable and enjoys sharing his knowledge. He is amiable with a dry wit, a good cook and keeps a well maintained, clean vessel. Most importantly he makes the journey loads of fun :) Highly recommended!
