guided tours at the Wooden Boat Centre

Our summer hours are in place, but you can also book a tour on demand (as long as you give us 24 hours notice). Fill out the enquiry form below and we will get back to you.

Join one of our volunteer guides for a tour through the workshop and history of wooden boatbuilding. 

We invite you to understand what drives our passion. You will gain an understanding of the rich background of Australia's premier wooden boat centre, as well as Franklin's maritime history. Learn tall tales and true from our volunteer guides about the precious boat building timbers that are found exclusively in Tasmania, and tour the interpretive area and workshop where boats that are currently under construction and restoration can be seen.
