Providence is an older style tallship carrying a maximum of 14 passengers and 3 crew on an unforgettable tallship Whitsundays adventure through the Whitsunday Islands.
With Masts and 8 Sails Providence is a fine example of a half size Gloucester timber schooner. Gaffed rigged Providence is sailed by purely traditional methods and you are welcome to join in sailing the boat if you wish, or you can just take it easy and watch as the sails fill and the boat gets underway.
You will visit stunning locations such as Whitehaven beach and snorkel the very best Whitsundays fringing reefs that are available in accordance with the wind and tide on each day. From the moment you step aboard Providence you will feel the old world atmosphere as you embark on a trip of a lifetime.
A good variety of meals are supplied using fresh Whitsundays local produce, vegetarians can be catered for with advance notice. Providence does not serve alcohol so you are able to BYO (no glass please).
