Step aboard from Hobart’s waterfront and set out on a half-day cruise designed for seafood lovers. Travelling in comfort aboard a Tasmanian-built catamaran, you’ll journey along some of the state’s most untouched waterways, where towering sea cliffs, hidden beaches, and abundant wildlife set the scene. Dolphins, seals, seabirds, and seasonal whales are often spotted along the way.

This is Tasmania’s most authentic seafood experience. From the moment you step on board, you’ll be treated to the finest local produce, beginning with a seasonal fruit platter, Tasmanian cheeses, and your choice of sparkling, wine, or craft beer. As you cruise towards Bruny Island’s Bull Bay, your skilled diver harvests periwinkles and sea urchins directly from the ocean, preparing them before your eyes at the interactive cook station.

Throughout the day you will sample an unmatched range of fresh seafood including oysters, mussels, Tasmanian abalone, Atlantic salmon, and the celebrated Tasmanian rock lobster. Each course is prepared on board by an expert crew, combining freshness with simplicity to highlight Tasmania’s renowned coastal flavours.

This small-group tour is as much about place as it is about cuisine. You’ll cruise the Derwent River, the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, and Bruny Island’s northern tip, enjoying ever-changing views while feasting on the ocean’s bounty. To finish, relax with a final glass in hand and Huon Valley apple cake as you return to Hobart.
