About Lady Nelson Tall Ship
Welcome to the Lady Nelson Tall Ship, located in the stunning city of Hobart, Tasmania. As an establishment, point of interest, tourist attraction, and travel agency, we offer an unparalleled Tall Ship Sailing Adventure that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
Our 5 days and 4 nights multi-day adventure journeys on the Lady Nelson are not only thrilling but also meet the requirements of the Adventurous Journey section for any level of the Duke of Edinburgh's International Award. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sailor, our ship provides a unique opportunity to learn and grow.
Step aboard and immerse yourself in the world of tall ship sailing on one of the world's most picturesque harbors. You can actively participate in the sailing experience by hauling on a line, setting the sails, or even steering the ship. Alternatively, you can simply relax and take in the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you.
Our sailing routes and the number of sails we put up are determined by the weather conditions and the availability of our volunteer crew and passengers. Rest assured, we always strive to provide an unforgettable experience tailored to the prevailing conditions.
Moored at the beautiful and picturesque waterfront of Hobart, just minutes away from the city center, our two-masted, square-rigged tall ship is a beloved sight for both locals and tourists. Built locally in 1988, the Lady Nelson is a full-size replica of the original Lady Nelson Brig, which played a significant role in bringing the first European settlers to Hobart in 1803.
As you sail majestically up and down the River Derwent, you'll have the opportunity to appreciate the true joy and delight of a tall ship sailing experience. Our passengers are encouraged to get involved, whether it's helping to set the sails, taking a turn at the helm, or simply relishing the feel of a traditional sailing ship at sea.
The Lady Nelson is managed by the Tasmanian Sail Training Association, and our dedicated crew consists entirely of trained and qualified volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the ship's authenticity and ensure your safety. Every dollar we raise through providing these unforgettable sailing experiences goes directly towards the running and upkeep of the ship.
Join us on the Lady Nelson Tall Ship for an adventure that combines history, nature, and the thrill of sailing. Discover the beauty of Hobart's waterfront and experience the magic of a bygone era. Book your voyage today and prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey.

"Absolutely awesome experience on the Lady Nelson. The volunteers were friendly with a wealth of knowledge. Best $45 spent in Hobart for a 90 minute sail on the River Derwent. Thankyou."
"I took my 4 year old niece along for an hour long sail with The Stranded Wailers singing throughout the voyage. It was such a sweet memory. The crew was so kind and friendly, even letting my niece steer the boat for a bit and giving us drinks and snacks. Thanks to all the crew for showing us an excellent time!"
