Endeavour heads to Hobart for Wooden Boat Festival 2025

In 2025 the Australian National Maritime Museum will continue its sponsorship of the internationally renowned Australian Wooden Boat Festival. This will include the participation of Endeavour and continued support of the Wooden Boat Symposium.

The 2025 Australian Wooden Boat Festival (7 – 10 February) will have a strong focus on the maritime traditions of South Pacific nations, including New Zealand, Tahiti, and Japan. Other participants will come from as far afield as Hawaii and the United States west coast.

It is planned for the Endeavour to depart from Sydney on January 29 and be based in Hobart from February 7 to 15. The vessel will return to Sydney, weather prevailing on February 24.

Opportunities exist for up to 30 people to participate in the voyage, supplementing and supporting the professional crew. If you would like to register your interest in getting involved as a paying crew member or a supernumerary (non-working passenger), please email sail.endeavour@sea.museum
