About This Boat

The Southern Swan is a magnificent barquentine made of Danish oak, featuring an extraordinarily strong hull, three masts and a unique history. She is originally designed as a gaff schooner that has sailed the Baltic trade routes as a cargo vessel during the late 60s. Today, it is the only vessel in Sydney that offers the thrilling Mast Climb experience, where the climbers can ascent up the rope ladder rungs to its Futtock Plate and enjoy the breathtaking harbour views. This truly spectacular vessel is available for charter, if you’re looking for a unique venue to host an upcoming event in the city. Unlike the many venues in and around Sydney that offer limited views and experiences, the Southern Swan is definitely a winner! 
 
Invite your guests on board this stunning vessel to experience the romance and beauty of a bygone era. You can choose from a range of menus including vegetarian and gluten-free. Other inclusions you can add to your package are drinks, music and a wide choice of entertainment. A Southern Swan charter is a great option for hosting events like pirate-themed parties, team building events, birthday parties etc. You can reach out to our charter team to get a tailored quote that suits your budget before you pay.
