Welcome to the Enterprize Ship Trust, a sailing club and boat rental service located in Docklands, Melbourne. The Enterprize is a magnificent 27-metre topsail schooner that serves as a fully operational replica of a tall ship originally built in Hobart in 1830. Constructed by William Harvey and William Pender, this historic vessel first arrived in mainland Australia in 1835 and settled in the Yarra River, Melbourne.
The Enterprize Ship Trust, managed by dedicated volunteers from diverse backgrounds, operates the Enterprize on behalf of the people of Victoria. Our mission is to offer all Victorians the unique opportunity to experience life on board a 19th-century sailing ship. Whether you are a seasoned sailor or simply curious about the rich maritime history of Australia, we invite you to explore the Enterprize and take part in its activities.
To keep our supporters updated on the ship's whereabouts, we regularly display its current location on our website and social media platforms. Additionally, we offer various sailing experiences and opportunities for the public to engage with the Enterprize. You can book a sail and embark on a memorable journey, where you can witness the beauty of Melbourne's waterways and learn about the ship's fascinating history.
As a non-profit organisation, the Enterprize Ship Trust relies on donations to continue sailing and preserving Australia's maritime heritage. By contributing to our cause, you are helping to ensure that this iconic ship can be enjoyed by future generations.
