Description
The aim of this short voyage is to ‘catch the wind’, hoist the sails and experience the workings of this historic vessel. With a ‘fair breeze’ the vessel heads west toward Mersey Bluff, further west to Don Heads before turning round in the Bass Strait and heading back to Port. Passengers get a different view of Devonport, the dolerite cliffs of Mersey Bluff and the north-west coastline. Some of our local wildlife may even pay us a visit!
While on board you’ll hear more about the ketch, now the last of the original fishing vessels that plied the seas around the Bass Strait and islands, whilst enjoying a selection of locally sourced light refreshments.
