Festival

Join us on our voyage to Hobart for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. Unleash your adventurous spirit on an iconic journey across Bass Strait on the only traditionally rigged vessel in Australian and New Zealand waters! “Learn the ropes” with the crew and discover the charms and challenges of 19th century sailing on board the only commercial wooden ship to be built in Victoria in over 100 years. Relax on deck or stand watch, handle the sails, steer the ship and climb the rigging to survey the horizon from aloft as you explore the rarely visited islands of Bass Strait, replete with white sandy beaches, spectacular scenery and historic sites. Each unique voyage may present opportunities for fishing, swimming, photography, hiking, relaxing on secluded beaches, tasting the local cuisine, star-gazing, and observing marine wildlife in pristine environments. This is a wild ocean adventure across infamous Bass Strait, not just a cruise! This once-in-a-lifetime experience only comes up every second year and berths are limited.
