Tall Ship Defender - 2 Day / 1 Night
;)
;)
Australia's oldest island trader & the largest timber Tallship in the Whitsundays at 26 metres. The story of Defender is the story of Australia's maritime history with a colourful lineage spanning more than 100 years.
The Defender was built at the northern N.S.W boat building port of Kincumber in 1896. She measured 115' overall with 22' beam. Featuring a magnificent raking clipper bow with an elliptical stern and eye catching lines, she is still considered one of the prettiest boats afloat.
This Whitsunday Island sailing safari offers a truly unique Whitsunday holiday experience including professionally guided bush walks and nature experiences.
Itineraries depend on a variety of considerations such as weather, tide and seasons. There are 74 tropical islands to discover with coral reef, lush rainforest and velvet covered peaks. Your skipper will ensure that you are taken to the best spots on the day.
Enjoy exploration of this world famous wonderland by snorkeling and swimming amongst the fringing coral reefs of the Whitsunday Islands. Enjoy beach combing and bushwalks learning about the exceptional biodiversity of the area with your experienced crew.
If you want to do nothing at all - that's fine too. The skipper will know the exact tranquil, anchorage to suit your mood.
