Discover the real Tasmania on our cruise to Peppermint Bay aboard a 23 metre catamaran. The vessel is warm, luxurious and fast, offering a unique and comfortable way to explore the bays of south east Tasmania. There are extensive outer deck areas and expansive floor to ceiling windows for unsurpassed views as you cruise the bays.
Guests enjoy a round-trip scenic cruise to the Peppermint Bay Hotel while soaking up Tasmania's spectacular scenery and savouring a delicious lunch.
We depart from Brooke Street Pier, Hobart at 10.30am taking in harbour and city views as we cruise our way through the River Derwent. Upon entering the calm waters of the dEntrecasteaux Channel, we stop at a few spots of interest: ancient rock formations and if the sea life are cooperating we stop to see sea eagles, dolphins and seals.
We then dock at the jetty to disembark to The Peppermint Bay Hotel. The Peppermint Bay Hotel overlooks the picturesque Bruny Island, the perfect setting to enjoy a delicious set lunch on the water's edge. We offer a great selection of Tasmanian wines, locally crafted beers and stellar service.
Back on board the catamaran, we head north to return to Hobart, following the same route made by yachtsman every year in the famous Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
During peak season the cruise operates daily and during the cooler months the cruise departs on selected days.
