The Julie Burgess - Tall Ship Experiences

Overview

Their Mission is to preserve a unique piece of Australian maritime history as a working tall ship, powered by the spirit of community, to provide community services, education, experiences and entertainment and promote Devonport and Tasmania.

They host short and full-day sails around the Devonport and North West Tasmanian Coast aboard this fully restored historic Tasmanian Fishing Ketch. The crew of highly skilled and experienced sailors can provide charter services and interesting and historical dockside events.

The Julie Burgess is owned and operated by the Julie Burgess Inc. - a not-for-profit organisation based in Devonport on the North West coast of Tasmania. The organisation is run by volunteers who have proudly restored, and maintain and operate the Julie Burgess.

Services

Mersey Bluff Sails (2.5 Hour)

Mersey Bluff Sails (2.5 Hour)

From $80

The aim of this short voyage is to ‘catch the wind’, hoist the sails and experience the workings of this historic vessel. With a ‘fair breeze’ the vessel heads west toward Mersey Bluff, further west to Don Heads before turning round in the Bass Strait and heading back to Port. Passengers get a different view of Devonport, the dolerite cliffs of Mersey Bluff and the northwest coastline. Some of our local wildlife may even pay us a visit! While on board you’ll hear more about the ketch, now the last of the original fishing vessels that plied the seas around the Bass Strait and islands, whilst enjoying a selection of locally sourced light refreshments.
