Adelaide Sailing have been sailing and teaching to sail to both locals and visitors for more than 10 years. We are based out of Glenelg,which is only a 20 minute drive from the CBD. We sail out from the Marina Pier at Holdfast Bay, which is a great place to spend sightseeing and dine out. The marina has many restaurants and some shopping as well. It is also only a 10 minute walk from Glenelg, which is where the tram ends its journey from the CBD. Glenelg is a charming seaside resort set on the long sandy white shores of Holdfast Bay. What better way to spend a day in SA than in Glenelg and sailing along the shores.
The boat is based out the Marina Pier at Glenelg.
You can get to us by driving: You can park in the parking garage under the Marina Pier. Drive to the very end of Anzac highway (go through all of the roundabouts until you dead end at the beach). Once you park, walk up to the boats along the row of restaurants.
