Join Our Training Academy Team at Darwin Sailing Club in 2025!

Our Training Academy season runs from May to September to align with Darwin’s stunning Dry Season, and we’re excited to expand our team for 2025. We run training programs 7 days a week throughout this period and are looking for passionate Instructors to join us!

Nestled on beautiful Fannie Bay, just 5–8 minutes from Darwin City, our location is perfect for watersports enthusiasts. We run programs both on the bay and nearby at Lake Alexander in East Point Reserve, with accommodation supplied by the Club only a 5 minute walk up the road.

At Darwin Sailing Club, we prioritize instructor development, providing upskilling and cross-training opportunities in areas such as bar service, admin, and maintenance for those interested. With our connections across Australian clubs, there are also options to find work during the summer season (October–March).

We offer a broad range of programs including adult, youth, and kids’ learn-to-sail, as well as partnerships with schools, community groups, corporate clients, and organizations for disability and disadvantaged programs. Our current fleet includes Keelboats (Elliott 7s), Dinghies (RS Quests), Kids’ Optis, SUPs, Kayaks and Wings.

If you hold RYA qualifications, there is a pathway to convert these to Australian Sailing certifications. Don’t hesitate to apply if you’re interested—conversion does take time, so it’s best to get started early!
