This was a highly enjoyable trip. Jim, our guide, was very informative and engaging. He also encouraged participation with the ropes and was entertaining. Key information regarding safety was clear and reassuring. Overall, we would highly recommend this adventure.

Great experience to do in Sydney. The crew was amazing and the views you get in the tour are pretty nice. We even sailed a little bit without engine, which was even better
So much fun! Book this.

Great talks by Jim. Sailing on an old wooden ship is a great experience. We put up two of the three square rigged sale on the forecast. Very relaxing.
Wonderful Trip!

Great trip. Awesome ship, great crew, well organised and friendly, spectacular cruise, easy to get to and from beside circular quay. Power down harbour and sailed back, great views and very comfortable, plenty of room to move around. Great to be on such a ship.
