Get ready for an incredible adventure aboard the Tall Ship James Craig for the exhilarating Rolex Sydney-Hobart Race on Boxing Day.

Tall Ship: James Craig 1874 is one of only four remaining working 19th-century barques in existence, and the only one in the Southern Hemisphere.



The majestic tall ship is not a replica. Instead, this was a 30-year restoration after the rusting wreck was rescued from Tasmania's Recherche Bay. Today, James Craig is hailed as a model of sensitive, authentic conservation and a recognised symbol of heritage preservation.



What a privilege to step on board, especially when you are going out into Sydney's magnificent harbour for the most famous event of the year on our Harbour. Enjoy stunning views from the deck of the three-masted, 19th-century iron-hulled barque. This is the perfect vantage point to witness the fleet's departure from the harbour on the yacht race that stops the nation.

You'll be in the midst of the action as the yachts race past on their way south.



Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to be part of an iconic event!
