The Young Endeavour docked at Corio Bay on Saturday 4 October and set sail again on Wednesday with plenty of eager visitors getting the chance to see the iconic vessel.
The 33-metre Royal Australian Navy ship is used to train the next generation of leaders aged 16 to 23 and was in the final stages of completing a circumnavigation of Australia.
Since 1988 the Navy has successfully delivered more than 600 youth development voyages, sailed nearly 400,000 nautical miles, welcomed aboard more than 12,000 day sail guests and given more than 14,000 young Australians a life-changing adventure at sea.
Pictured are leading seaman Mitchell Pratt and Chelsea Rees onboard the Young Endeavour in Geelong on Wednesday.
A voyage on the Young Endeavour lasts 11 days and is highly sought after with applicants going into a ballot, which happens only twice a year.
