New Horizon is a beautiful 97ft classic wooden Schooner. She is one of the last solid timber boats built in Tasmania with famous Tasmanian hard wood, making her a very strong, seaworthy boat.

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…
