Whitsunday Sailing Adventures - Providence V

Tallship Adventure!

3 Days 2 Nights - Traditional Sailing Adventure On The Whitsunday's

The Yacht

Providence V is a Gaffed-rigged Topsail Schooner (2 masts and 8 sails). She is sailed entirely by traditional methods handed down through centuries of experience and is perfect for adventure sailing in the true style of a bygone era.

Built from strong Queensland timbers Providence V was constructed in 1988 and has sailed the Australian coast for over 10 years.

Designed as a half - sized replica of Gloucester Schooners, Providence V is a breathtaking example of sailing history. Gloucester Schooners were Grand Banks fishing boats and were known for their speed and handling availability.

They received their names from the port of Gloucester, on the New England coast of the USA, where they were built. Most vessels that took part in the early America's Cup series, were topsail schooners.

Like any of our award winning trips, you can get involved and help the crew set the sails. You can also have a turn at the helm and climbing the rigging, all whilst you learn the skills of sailing a truly beautiful schooner. Alternatively you can sit back and relax and watch our crew do all the hard work!!

Providence V can accommodate 14 guests and 3 crew in open plan accommodation for an unforgettable three day and two night cruise around the Whitsunday's.

The Cruise

Providence will take you on a truly unique and unforgettable sailing adventure throughout the Whitsunday Islands. You can get involved with setting the sails, steering the yacht and climbing the rigging, learn the forgotten skills of sailing a true piece of yachting history, or your can sit back and just take it all in.
