About the STS Leeuwin II

Built in Western Australia in the style of an 1850s three-masted barquentine, the STS Leeuwin II was launched in 1986 as a purpose-built sail training vessel. Over 40,000 young people have experienced the thrill of life at sea aboard Australia’s largest sail training tall ship.

Now it’s your turn to enjoy a taste of an ocean-going adventure on this magnificent steel ship.
