Twilight sailing

The Duyfken Twilight Sail is a truly unique experience.

You not only get the chance to relax and unwind, you can also learn how crew of the original Duyfken in the 1600s lived and worked as it went on its many adventures beyond the edges of Europe’s known world.

Get involved with the sailing crew by helping:

set the sails
pulling the lines and halyards
steering the ship.

Or just settle back and enjoy a beverage and a light meal as you take in the sites of the beautiful Swan River while the sun sets.

Our Twilight Sails are starting this Saturday, 23rd November! You can book your sail now on our website, http://www.duyfken.com/! If you take any photos of the Duyfken on the Swan River, don’t forget to tag us!

What Our Customers Are Saying

Liz-Glenn Gould

“Wonderful sail this afternoon on the Duyfken. Loves seeing the sails hoisted and the magic of being powered by the wind. Such a West Australian treasure. Thank you so much to everyone who keeps this wonderful vessel accessible to the public to experience her beauty.”

Jenny Murphy

“What a privilege to step aboard the historic Duyfken replica. From the moment we set sail, Captain Susie Vandermark and her crew made us so welcome. We loved the opportunity of chatting with many of the crew who were so willing to share their wealth of knowledge..”

Rebecca Sue Otten

“My partner & I took a wonderful twilight cruise on the Duyfken just over a week ago, it was magical! The crew were so wonderful and I am amazed at the wealth of stories and information they had to share. To the crew's knowledge, my partner took the opportunity to propose and I couldn't think of a better place as they took on the role of our own little cheer squad, and even presented us with an engagement gift. Cannot wait to be back for another lovely afternoon!”
