Enterprize Ship
Melbourne's Tall ShipEnterprize Ship Trust is a not-for-profit organisation operating the wooden replica of Melbourne's founding ship.
The ship can be chartered for a few hours or a few days, catering for up to 45 guests for day charters and 10 for overnight sails. We also run public sails throughout the year around Port Phillip Bay and ports around the southeast coast of Australia.
During school terms we conduct school education programs covering Melbourne's & Port Phillip's founding history as well as sail training voyages.
