About
Fremantle charity sailing the 55-metre tall ship STS Leeuwin II on public day sails, youth and adult voyages, and a voyage program for people with disability.
Service area: Fremantle, with scheduled sails and voyages from Busselton and Albany
Leeuwin Ocean Adventure is a Western Australian charity that owns and sails STS Leeuwin II, a three-masted barquentine launched in Fremantle in 1986. Four-hour public day sails leave from Victoria Quay in Fremantle, with some scheduled from Busselton and Albany, and longer voyages include Youth Adventure voyages for ages 14 to 24 and Ocean Adventure voyages for people 16 and over.
At 55 metres with 16 sails, Leeuwin II is Australia's largest sail training tall ship, crewed by paid staff and volunteers. On a day sail you can help set sails and steer, or climb the bowsprit or foremast when the weather allows. The Ultimate Challenge Voyage is a five-day program for people with disability.
Day sails suit families, groups and anyone curious about traditional tall ship sailing, with group rates for 20 to 40 people and school and private charters on enquiry. Under-18s must be accompanied by a guardian, closed shoes are required, and voyages are booked by application, so check dates and eligibility early.

Check the Western Australian Department of Transport (DoT WA) and the national authority for the precise checklist that applies to your boat and voyage.

Choose an anchor that penetrates the seabed you expect, carry enough chain and scope, set by reversing under control until the anchor bites, then test and monitor frequently — in sand and clean mud a plough or fluke-style can work well, in weed look for clean patches or use a claw/Delta-style or dedicated weed anchor and more scope.
