ENTERPRIZE - Melbourne's Tall Ship

Enterprize is a traditionallyconstructed replica of a Hobart-built 1830s coastal trading ship. Built to the original ship’s dimensions, primarily with recycled timber held with copper fastenings, rigged with tarred hempen cordage and finished out with traditional flax canvas sails, she was built close to her 1830s namesake while complying with modern maritime safety regulations. Belowdecks berthing and comfort were included to accommodate passengers instead of the original ship’s purpose of carrying cargo. Built over 6½ years by mostly volunteers and launched in 1997, Enterprize offers her unique experience to Melburnians, Victorians... everyone with an adventurous spirit. The ship operates from numerous ports in Port Phillip, and on occasions along the south coast of Australia. Enterprize’s programs includes public sailing events, offshore ocean voyages, school education and experience programs, sail training voyages and the ship is also available for private charters.
