About Tasmanian Wild Seafood Adventures
Tasmanian Wild Seafood Adventures runs marine and seafood cruises from Elizabeth Street Pier on the Hobart waterfront. The business was founded by skipper and commercial diver Shane Wilson, and trips are led by working divers and fishers. The signature Deep-to-Dish cruise runs for about four and a half hours aboard Cuttlefish, a 55-foot catamaran built in Tasmania. It heads down the Derwent past the Taroona cliffs to Bull Bay off Bruny Island, then through the Channel to a salmon farm before turning for home. Along the way, a diver collects periwinkles and sea urchins to be prepared on board. Guests also share abalone, rock lobster, oysters, mussels and Atlantic salmon, and can have a go at shucking oysters. The cruise is also a chance to see wildlife. Dolphins, whales, seals, penguins and sea birds are regularly sighted, though nothing is staged or guaranteed. The boat has heated indoor lounges, a covered cook station and an open viewing deck, so trips run in most weather. The skipper can postpone or cancel when conditions are unsafe, with bookings moved or refunded. Group bookings are welcome, and Cuttlefish can be chartered privately for up to 49 people. The events coordinator tailors packages for birthdays, hens and bucks parties, baby showers, engagements and proposals. Catering, styling, drinks and transfers can be organised with trusted local partners.
