Cost: $2,150 (Twin share)/ $2,500 (Single Cabin)
Try overnight sailing in the safety of a coastal passage. Anchor in Refuge Cove, sail past Skull Rock and explore Wilsons Promontory.
We depart Melbourne, exit the heads and overnight in San Remo (9 hours). Leaving early the next day, we day sail for around 12 hours along the coast for Wilsons Promontory and the delightful Refuge Cove via the amazing Skull Rock. The stunning beauty of the Prom can only really be appreciated from the sea, and you will get a wonderful view as we sail around the southern-most tip of the Australian mainland.
We spend the next day enjoying the Prom, walking or sailing to nearby bays. That evening we depart for an overnight sail back to Melbourne arriving the following evening.
