Voyage Adelaide - Hobart: 27 January - 6 February 2025

Join us on this unique 11 day adventure when we set sail from Adelaide to Hobart to be part of The Australian Wooden Boat Festival. This biannual festival is held across Hobart’s vibrant and bustling waterfront. The four-day festival brings together the largest and most beautiful collection of wooden boats in the southern hemisphere. From its humble beginnings in 1994, it has grown to become the most significant event of its kind in Australia. 

Event Outline:

Discover the adventure by joining this unique voyage. You will see the workings of this great ship, and get hands on with all the activities at sea. No sailing experience is necessary as we will teach you the “ropes”. These voyages are designed for the adventurer at heart!
