The group size is 32 people and it visits both Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet and is the perfect balance between chilled and party vibe...
She is a 21m sailing schooner that accommodates 32 passengers and 4 crew. She has 2 showers, 2 toilets, plenty of sheltered outdoor spaces and sun tanning space. Not to mention the only budget vessel with air con and her beds are spacious and comfortable, 8 doubles and 16 singles.
New Horizon is one of the last solid timber boats built in Tasmania with famous Tasmanian hard wood, making her a very strong, seaworthy boat. New Horizon has some beautiful features like a human size figurehead on her bow, restored hardwood decks and beautifully restored timber bunks below, paddle boards, dive board, dining, and movie lounge.
She has a new dive board added which is fun for those who have always wanted to “walk the plank”. Have fun with friends on our new paddleboards and enjoy movies (on request) in our movie lounge on our comfy bean bags…
Being fully air-conditioned throughout, making for a very comfortable nights sleep during the tropical months.
Her huge deck space allows for plenty of sun bathing, and her covered areas are ideal for all weather conditions.
