2025 5 Day Public Voyage, Coffs Harbour to Manly, 18-22 October

Come Sail on South Passage, Queensland’s tall ship. Create memories that will last a lifetime! Join South Passage as she sails up the East Coast from Coffs Harbour 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, navigating, taking the helm, daily maintenance and cleaning. There will also be time to enjoy the environment – the sea life, the exhilaration of sailing, swimming, snorkeling and island bush walk excursions.
