⛵️🌊 ADVENTURE UNDER SAIL – 5 DAY YOUTH VOYAGE 🌊⛵️

📍 Hervey Bay → Manly, Brisbane
📅 28 September – 2 October

What better way to spend the school holidays than stepping away from everyday life, meeting new friends and learning a little more about life… under sail! 🌊💙

Over five days aboard South Passage Tallship, our youth crew got stuck in and learned the ropes — quite literally! 😉⚓️

🪢 Sweating lines
🧭 Learning navigation
⚓️ Mastering knots
⛵️ Helming the ship
🤝 Working together as a team
🌅 Learning responsibility, resilience and leadership

And then came COMMAND DAY! 🫡⛵️

The youth crew nominated their peers for Skipper, Navigator, Sailing Master and Watch Leaders — and then it was their turn to take command of South Passage and sail her home! 🌊💪

🏆 South Passage is a youth training vessel — but we’re not training young people for a life at sea.

We use the ship and the sea to prepare young people for LIFE. ❤️

The confidence to have a go.
The courage to lead.
The ability to listen and work as a team.
The resilience to keep going when things get tough.
And the friendships and memories that last long after the voyage ends. 🌟

This voyage is also part of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award program, giving young people an incredible opportunity to challenge themselves, learn new skills and discover what they’re capable of. 🏅🌏

A HUGE THANK YOU to our amazing volunteer crew who give their time, knowledge and passion to make these voyages possible. ❤️⚓️
We couldn’t do it without you!

To our youth crew — congratulations! 🎉
You stepped aboard as individuals and sailed home as a team. ⛵️💙

Fair winds and following seas! 🌊✨
