Odalisque’s Tenders
The mother ship Odalisque is supported with the service of two tenders, an aluminum dinghy and a jet engine RIB.
The ‘tinny’, our 14ft aluminium dinghy, is a very versatile, safe and fast vessel. It’s well suited to handling the weather conditions of Tasmanian waters, which can change very quickly. It’s our preferred vessel for the exploring of sea caves, because of boat’s maneuverability and easy handling, and for travel over longer distances, because of it’s speed.
The jet engine RIB is the newest addition to our fleet, making a nice complement to the tinny. A jet engine makes it the perfect vessel for exploring ocean & river environments where you can’t see the bottom or any hidden bombies that might be lying under the surface (as is often the case in the tannin stained waters of Port Davey). For this reason, the jet boat is often used on excursions up the Old River and Davey Rivers. It also has very comfortable lounge seating, and is a quick and safe vessel to travel in.
