The yacht is moored in the Port Geographe marina. This new marina with floating berths makes boarding Major Tom an easy and enjoyable experience. The Thursday evening twilight sail (boat) leaves at 5.45pm.

For the school holidays in January all cruises load off the beach at Harvest Road, next to Abbey beach, Geographe Bayview and Broadwater resorts.

Experienced crew, Ken the skipper and owner has been sailing since he was 10 years old and is a successful racing yachtsman. CJ the deckie has also sailed and raced all her life and has cruised more than 20,000 miles. One of her talents is the fine food that she prepares in the Kimberley. Fresh fish the speciality.

Busselton jetty. This old and iconic jetty is the biggest landmark on the coast and Major Tom goes past it on each cruise out of the Port Geographe marina.

Beautiful Geographe Bay

Wildlife - Dolphins and whales in season

Sailing experience. Help the crew or sit back and watch.

Major Tom description - 18.5 metres long and fully loaded weighs in at 40 ton. The top off the mast is 80 foot of the water. She was built in Fremantle in 1990 and is made of steel, with seven separate watertight compartments through the length of the boat. So she is safe and large enough so that it is rare that anyone is sea sick.
