VESSELS
Lady Launceston
The Lady Launceston is ideal for a small group function with 25 maximum capacities for catering or drinks. The new Lady Launceston has been purpose built to cruise the Cataract Gorge and Launceston’s riverfront precinct showcasing its many highlights. The design is reminiscent of the 1890’s with sweeping traditional lines, combined with modern technology to ensure all passengers cruise in maximum comfort. The Lady Launceston has been custom designed with a unique silent electric drive, to allowing serene gliding into the Cataract Gorge and overhead 360 degrees viewing.

The Tamar Odyssey has recently undergone a refurbishment, giving the vessel a crisp new look.
