An authentic junk boat all the way from China has recently set sail in Port Stephens.
The newly-opened Shaolin Charters offers a relaxed and uncrowded sailing experience on the blue waters of Port Stephens, with opportunities to take photos and spot marine life such as dolphins, seals and penguins. Carrying only 23 passengers, the 15m-long boat strikes a unique image on Port Stephens, particularly when her dragon-filled, red sails are unfurled.
Originally built for a retired US naval officer in 1966 in Hong the boat has circumnavigated the world twice, been through two cyclones, served as a listening post for the CIA off the coast of China and even been boarded by pirates.
Guests on board the vessel get the chance to stand at the helm of the boat and experience an underwater viewing of marine species and sponge gardens.
Shaolin Charters offers daily cruises on Port Stephens as well as special event charters for 10-23 passengers. Two hour bay cruises are available three times a day.
