This cruise will give you a chance to see what it was like for the early sailors to navigate the bends of the Brisbane River as we sail from Manly up to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens.

Or, if you are after a more relaxing afternoon, you can opt to sit back and enjoy the city view as you nibble and sip on your BYO treats.

South Passage - a 100 foot long, gaff-rigged schooner - is a working ship, and you can take part in sailing the vessel as much or as little as you want. No sailing experience is required and South Passage’s crew are always on hand to "show you the ropes".

We will be sailing from Manly's William Gunn Jetty at 8am in the morning and head up the Brisbane River.

We will arrive at the New Farm Park River Hub at 12:30pm and again at 2:30pm to pick up and drop off passengers.

From New Farm Park, we will enjoy a scenic cruise up to the Brisbane Botanic Gardens and back.

The ship will return to New Farm Park River Hub at approximately 4:30pm where all passengers will disembark.

(You are able to disembark from the ship at 12:30, 2:30 or 4:30pm at New Farm Park River Hub)

No glass drink ware please and no smoking.
