Adventure Under Sail

South Passage is Queensland’s only owned and operated Tall Ship run by the not-for-profit organisation the Sail Training Association of Queensland (STAQ). South Passage was designed specifically for 14-17 year olds to experience β€œAdventure Under Sail”. She has taken over 50,000 students sailing over the last 25 years. Her rig is relatively simple and everything can be managed from the deck. Students are not allowed to climb into the rigging as would be required on a square-rigged sailing ship. South Passage is classified as a Class C tall ship, one of the few sailing in Australia all year round.
