"What a treasure of a trip I had - so much better than the outer reef, and with lovely people to boot! Nicole and Jane are supportive, welcoming, encouraging, engaging, funny, informative - all you want from hosts and more! The Solway Lass is a national treasure, well maintained and comfortable despite her age. This is not your run-of-the-mill holiday, but then who wants boring?"

One happy customer

“My holiday on the majestic Solway Lass tall ship was absolutely magical! I’ve always dreamed of sailing, and getting to do it around the Whitsundays on such a historic vessel was just amazing. The snorkelling was a standout highlight, with some of the most breathtaking underwater scenes I’ve ever seen. This trip was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, letting me reset and truly enjoy every moment. It was an enchanting escape that I’ll always treasure. Huge thanks to Nicole and Jane for making this incredible journey happen — THANK YOU!”
