The Vessel

Overall, S.V. Rum Runner is a comfortable sailboat, well suited for the adventurous

The S.V. Rum Runner is a 20m Motor Sailing Schooner, built in 1984, and with a near indestructible fiberglass hull

Rum Runner will accommodate up to 16 guests in multi share twin single bunk areas, semi-private twin single bunk cabins, and a 4-share single bunk cabin. She is the equivalent of a mutli-share hostel, just on water.

As typical with sailboats, the cabins are not spacious or very private; they are for resting and sleeping. The common areas include an open saloon area and galley inside, and both covered and open outside deck areas.

We have USB, 12V dc and 240V ac for charging cameras and phones, and separate male and female toilet and shower cabinet with hot water.

She is by no means a luxury yacht. She is a practical working dive boat. Those seeking pure sailing, privacy and luxury must consider elsewhere. Rum Runner is a great opportunity to meet other divers and guests from around Australia and the world and have fun with the crew doing it.
