Blow away the cobwebs with a wonderful day of fresh air out on the waters of Moreton Bay.  

South Passage is a 100ft gaff-rigged schooner built with advantages of modern technology merged with the spirit and romance of traditional sailing. 

You can do as much or as little work as you like. Either jump in and haul on ropes to hoist the sails, grab the wheel and - with the skipper's permission and supervision - guide the big ship around the bay, or sit back, enjoy a drink and watch the world sail by.  Weather permitting, we should even be able to stop for a swim.  Depending on the prevailing winds, we usually make it over to the Big Sand Hills on the south end of Moreton Island or Horseshoe Bay over on Peel Island.
