Sailing into a Grand Final Dream: Spirit of Tasmania and NMFC Make it Happen

This September, we were thrilled to partner with North Melbourne Football Club (NMFC) to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience to one lucky winner.

At Spirit of Tasmania, we’re all about creating unforgettable moments, and this September, we were thrilled to partner with North Melbourne Football Club (NMFC) to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime experience to one lucky winner. This marked our first collaboration with NMFC for a competition of this nature, and it couldn’t have gone better!

Our Sail to Win Grand Final Tickets competition, promoted via eDM to Spirit of Tasmania and NMFC subscribers, invited fans to enter for the chance to win two tickets to the AFL Grand Final—an absolute dream for footy fans.

On September 3rd, we drew the winner from a pool of 21 excited entries. The lucky recipient was Josie from Tasmania, who decided to share the experience with her son, Bernard. They sailed with us from Tasmania to Melbourne, embarking on what turned out to be an extraordinary Grand Final adventure.

Josie and Bernard had an unforgettable day, and Josie shared their heartfelt gratitude:

“Bernie and I would just like to say thank you so much for our wonderful day out last Saturday at the North Melbourne FC Grand Final Breakfast and the AFL Grand Final. We both had such a fantastic day; it really was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, and we are extremely grateful to you both.”

They thoroughly enjoyed the North Melbourne Grand Final Breakfast, which set the tone for a thrilling day.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the North Melbourne Grand Final Breakfast, and all the speakers and entertainment were great. And the atmosphere at the AFL Grand Final, and the excitement around Yarra Park was great fun to be a part of.”

At Spirit of Tasmania, nothing makes us prouder than being part of moments that bring people together. Congratulations again to Josie and Bernard for winning this incredible experience and thank you to everyone who participated! We look forward to continuing to create special moments with our passengers and partners.
