What to expect
You'll board at Hobart's waterfront at 10:30am and settle into the catamaran for a unhurried cruise south. The skipper provides context about the channel's geography, heritage sites and wildlife as you scan the water for seals and raptors. After arriving in Woodbridge, you'll have time to stretch your legs around the gardens before sitting down to a multi-course lunch built around what's been harvested locally that season. Wines and beers flow throughout, with the kitchen adding surprises between courses. The return journey is designed for ease—find a quiet corner on deck with a whisky or digestif as the catamaran motors back to Hobart, arriving around 4pm.
