South Coast Tasmania Cruise

Explore a beautiful, notoriously exposed stretch of coastline normally reserved for the hardiest of bushwalkers and most fearless of fishermen – skipper Pieter van der Woude included. The southwest coast was for many years Pieter’s ‘office’ as an abalone diver. On our passage, there’s endless opportunity for visits to Pieter’s old haunts, picnics on untracked beaches, hikes to wilderness peaks and soaking up spectacular scenery from a soft lounge.


The weather shapes the itinerary, daily activities and the evenings’ anchorages on this bi-annual cruise. To ensure a safe and comfortable experience, the passage between the more exposed areas of the south coast, between South and Southwest Capes, is only made in calm weather conditions. Accordingly, the itinerary can vary greatly.

South Coast Tasmania Cruise itinerary:

show reverse itinerary
Encounter Wild Islands

See the wind-battered islands and ragged rocks which stretch along the exposed south coast. Pass Maatsuyker Island, home to Australia’s most southerly lighthouse, and part of a group of islands renowned for rich marine life and wild weather conditions.

Cruise Cape to Cape

Between South East Cape and South West Cape lies an extraordinary coastline woven with hidden bays, rugged mountain ranges and remote stretches of untrodden beaches. It’s a wet and wild kind of beauty here. Swells regularly reach six metres, wind gusts peak at 176km/h and there are 249 rain days/year on average.

Go Beyond the Beyond

Say goodbye to phone reception, roads and civilisation as you know it. Beyond South East Cape lies true wilderness, only experienced by a privileged few. We’ll have the ocean to ourselves, bar the odd fishing vessel and a lonely yacht on the horizon.

Odalisque III, the ship servicing South Coast Tasmania Cruise

Odalisque III

Vessel Type: Catamaran

Length: 24 metres

Passenger Capacity: 12

Built: 2022

Brand-New Expedition Catamaran

Purpose-built in 2022 for an intimate wilderness experience in Tasmanian waters, the vessel houses just 12 guests in its six stylish cabins. Aboard there are two spacious guest lounges, three outdoor viewing decks and an open bridge – all with magnificent water aspects. Go beyond your comfort zone without giving up your creature comforts, on Odalisque III.

Tender Vessels

Daily tender excursions are made aboard our two tenders – 15ft aluminum dinghies which we affectionately call ‘tinnies’. These twin tinnies are versatile, safe and fast vessels. They’re well suited to handling the weather conditions of Tasmanian waters, which can change quickly, and have comfortable, stable seating. These tenders are ideal for exploring rocky inlets and sea caves, due to their maneuverability and easy handling.

Our tinnies were built to handle the best (and worst) of Tasmania’s wind, rain and waves. So that our guests too can head out whatever the weather, On Board provides weatherproof rain ponchos for all tender excursions.
