Built in Norway in 1939, this traditional sailing ship displays a unique and charming character. With topsail's, t'gallants and yardarms she has all the olde world charm and romance of yesteryear. Accommodation is in double staterooms (with handbasin), twin cabins and one 4 berth cabin and caters for a maximum of 14 guests. The crew of 4 includes Captain, cook, deckhand and dive instructor. Whether travelling alone, with a group or family, you will have a wonderful time aboard Coral Trekker. |

Nothing quite matches the feeling of standing on the deck of a square rigger with the wind in your face and the smell of salt in the air, as you watch the huge red sails billowing aloft. All distinctions of age, sex and nationality disappear in a communion of yells and laughter as we haul ropes and prepare to set sail for the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday Islands aboard our lovingly restored 23m Norwegian sailing ship 'Coral Trekker'.
Join the crew in the rigging (they'll show you the ropes) or just sit back and relax on the wide timber decks.
The itinerary is unhurried, setting aside lots of time for strolling secluded beaches, snorkelling, scuba diving, hiking national park trails and beach barbecues.
Coral Trekker has a scuba diving compressor on board. The scuba instructor can cater for novice and introductory divers.
6 night sail departs on a Saturday.
3 night sail on Saturday or Tuesday.
