Tasmania’s newest all-inclusive eco-tourism venture, Tasmanian Boat Charters, was officially launched today by the Premier and Minister for Tourism, the Hon. Will Hodgman MP.
Successful through the State Government’s EOI process, Tasmanian Boat Charters will soon operate in some of Tasmania’s most magical places including Port Davey and Bathurst Harbour in the South West Tasmania World Heritage Area.
Tasmanian Boat Charters and Odalisque proprietor, Pieter van der Woude, said “I’m thrilled to be able to share my love for the remote south west World Heritage area and the Tasmanian coastline with visitors to our beautiful state”.
“The concept of a ‘floating home’ in Bathurst Harbour has been specifically developed to have low impact on the environment and to avoid land infrastructure or the need for a land based footprint, allowing guests to experience and appreciate the south west while still enjoying the full safety and comfort that any land based lodge would provide” Mr. van der Woude said.
“Expeditions will be personalised and tailored around the client’s needs to provide a flexible experience guided all the way by our attentive crew in an area where only a privilege few get to witness” Mr. van der Woude said.
From February to May 2016 and every year after Tasmanian Boat Charters welcomes clients to embark on a three, five or seven-day expedition into Port Davey, Bathurst Harbour exploring the untouched and remote Tasmanian World Heritage Area on their ‘floating home’ Odalisque which accommodates up to ten guests.
From May – January Odalisque will offer overnight charters in other areas of Tasmania including the East Coast, Bruny Island and the Tasman Peninsula.
Odalisque is also available to entertain groups up to 40 people with a tailored day charter, ideal for functions or for any occasion that requires a unique experience or voyage.
