The Perfect Get Away Adventure!!

Here’s your chance to experience first hand what it is like to sail a 100 foot ship the traditional way.  South Passage is a sail training ship used to develop sailing and life skills as well as providing a unique and fun-filled adventure against the backdrop of the breath taking scenery of the east coast of Australia. She sails up the East Coast from Coffs Harbour...past Yamba, Cape Byron, Point Danger, the Gold Coast and through the Southport Seaway completing the voyage along the channels between the southern Moreton Bay Islands to Manly.

South Passage is a two-masted 100 foot (30.5m), gaff rigged schooner.  She is a modern ship, launched in 1993, but built on the design of the 19th century pilot schooners that operated off the east cost of America.  She is sailed the traditional way where everything is done by hand.

South Passage is a sail training ship. As a part of our voyage crew, you will be taking part in all aspects of operating the ship - hoisting sails, keeping a lookout, doing anchor watch, sailing through the night, navigating, taking the helm, daily maintenance and cleaning. There will also be time to enjoy the environment - the sea life and the exhilaration of sailing.

NO ALCOHOL on board - as a sail training ship, South Passage is a dry ship.
