Parade of Sail - AWBF

Take a step back in time and enjoy the excitement of cruising alongside the many Tall ships and hundreds of stunning wooden boats attending the festival. There really is a buzz in the air as we kick off the festival in style.

Departing Kettering at approximately 0815-0830, you will cruise up the scenic D'Entrecasteaux channel enjoying a delicious morning tea to arrive at Blinking Billy by 1200 for the start of the parade. This is also where you will enjoy a lunch platter of Huon Valley Produced delights as we weave in and out of the stunning and unique wooden vessels that are participating in the festival.

It's one thing to see the boats tied up at the dock, but seeing them up close under full sail, cruising through the water is something unforgettable.

To get to Kettering a bus will be available from Hobart to Kettering on the morning, included with your booking(further details on exactly where and when this departs Hobart will be relayed as we find out more, just know that it is definitely happening and included.)

Arrival time back in Hobart will be around 1500 at our berth.
