There is no better way to experience a coral sea tropical sailing safari than aboard the Defender.  At 100 years old, this vessel has been marvelously restored into a spacious, luxurious marine vessel.

The Defender was purpose-built with roomy, steady decks, so you can sit back and enjoy cruising the waters of the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef, or for the more energetic you can become involved in the sailing of the Defender itself.

The Defender has a personality to suit everybody and there are many activities to occupy time aboard the Defender.
