Most enjoyable. Captain, my captain, a truly knowledgeable old salt. Would do this again next time we’re in Hobart

5.00This is a great short trip in an historical boat with lots of charm. It was cold but still enjoyed standing on the aft deck listening to the entertaining stories of the captain. Money well spent.
Very informative tour. ...
