Moorilla charter cruise
James Turrell, a world famous American artist, visited Tasmania in August and was keen to visit the most southern cape of Australia. The “Odalisque” was charted by the Moorilla Vineyard. (where James was visiting their Museum of Old and New Art “MONA”). At 8.30am on Friday 20th James, David Walsh, Steve Devereuax and four other colleagues including Vince the Chef were collected at the Moorilla Jetty and 3 hours later they were at South East Cape on the south coast of Tasmania. Despite the gale and 7 meter swell warnings the trip was uneventful and thoroughly enjoyed by all and finished off with an elegant lunch at Recherche Bay which included a meal of fresh bbq abalone. - Pieter Cleanlift

Cleanlift is Tasmania’s only environmentally friendly under cover boat slipping system and is suitable for vessels up to 25m in length. If you have a boat that needs slipping and would like to do your part helping to keep our already damaged waterways as pristine as possible, then Cleanlift may be a better option for you. Check them out, give them a call.

Storm Bay
It was quite cold today out in Storm Bay. There were people on board from TAFI and CSIRO for some water sampling at a number of locations and at varying depths. Climate change poses a threat to fisheries and marine biodiversity and TAFI and CSIRO scientists are monitoring water samples and studying how climate change may affect Australia’s oceans. - Pieter WelcomeWelcome to Tasmanian Boat Charters. The waters of Tasmania offer exquisite experiences ranging from the delightful and serene sheltered waters of the south-east, to the adventurous, rugged wilderness of the Tasmanian south and west coasts. Along the way, visit many islands, (some uninhabited), quiet coves, and endless miles of remote coastline where you can observe captivating sea life, explore beaches and mountains, and exercise by bushwalking in remote unspoiled locations or by enjoying spectacular diving in pristine waters. We can tailor our voyages to any age groups, and to suit any interests, ranging from young surfer packages to older voyagers seeking gastronomic delights in coastal dining venues. - Pieter |
“Most boat repair and maintenance activities have the potential to adversely affect aquatic plant and animal life. They may also threaten human health and environmental amenity. The greatest risk to the environment results from maintenance activities at facilities that do not have adequate waste containment structures.”
