Evening Tall Ship Cruise from Geelong

Annette 15 May 2025

We had an awesome night. The ship was well preserved. The crew were lovely and very knowledgeable. The ability for guests to participate in activities and experience the way things were done on a ship like this was great. No pressure by the crew for guests to participate but those that did, enjoyed the experience. The sunset put on a lovely display to top the night off. Well worth the experience.

Terry 3 April 2025

Crew were very informative, helpfull and allowed me to climb crows nest and go below to view kitchen and sleeping quarters. I really enjoyed trip and would consider a longer trip for the experience of what it was like in the past. Recommend to do at least once.

A birthday present to remember

Odin 16 September 2024

I was bought the Evening Tall Ship Cruise as a birthday present. For me the Enterprise has historical interest as it's the type of vessel that my ancestors would have arrived on in Melbourne back in 1862. Port Phillip Bay was, well Port Phillip Bay, shallow and bumpy in high winds. I would have loved to have spent longer on board to get a feel for the rthyms of life onboard almost 2 centuries ago, but that is my only negative.Completely loved the experience.

Took my wife on a sailing experience. Explained she had neck surgery and ask if possible could she have a seat which can be somewhat limited. These kind teams helped her to a seat and offered an arm for support getting her off. Not only was it a great experience but the team are nothing I've ever experienced. Thank you

so relaxing

Susan 2 March 2020

What a lovely way to spend and evening. The crew were very freindly and keen to have you on board and help out if you wanted too. Hence to say my partner hoisted the mains and climb high on the rig. Would highly recommend for any age, ability and occasion

an unforgettable and terrible experience

Terry 17 February 2020

we went out in 3m swell, could not move around the ship, hanging on for life, people were injurred, vomitting (even across the ship) and generally the worst of any experience i have had. interesting, not one of the crew reached for the 1st aid when people were injurred and not one of the crew explained the background of the ship or any information about the ship (which was an explanation) - and the captain did not turn back immediately people were injurred - what a mess!

The tall ship sail experience was fantastic.

Mark 19 January 2020

What a brilliant sailing experience. You can just move around the 22 year old vessel. A replica of an 18th century ship. The only in Victoria and one of only seven in Australia that you can experience a sail. Get as involved as you wish. Help the crew raise and lower sails and walk up the mast fully harnessed and assisted by a crew member if you wish.
