- Ben C0 contributionsThe most amazing Tasmanian seafood experience ever!!The experience was first class from the moment we stepped on the boat! The Cuttlefish is a modern spacious luxurious vessel, with clean amenities and plenty of room to relax and take in the coastline. Listening to the wise words of local fishermen/divers with years of knowledge and experience while enjoying the most amazing feast of the freshest Seafood Tasmania has to offer. The kids also loved the experience and got to hangout upstairs with the captain and sample some delicious seafood they wouldn’t normally get the opportunity to eat.

- Navigator6112550 contributionsA delicious day on the water.This was a fantastic day out.

Ben, Dan and Ellen were awesome, they went above and beyond on our trip, and the food and wine was spectacular. This is a must do on your trip to Tasmania, worth every penny!Written 13 May 2022
- AVCJRV0 contributionsfantastic seafood and cruise - don't miss it!This is a fantastic cruise and seafood experience and was a highlight of our recent visit to Hobart. And it can't be faulted: the scenery and route make you realise was a special part of the world the Derwent River is; the seafood was simply superb - literally straight out of the sea; the crew were fantastic - nothing was too much trouble for them. It is a professional excursion - really well and safely run and a very comfortable boat. The only little wrinkle we experienced was the presence of several children who were left unsupervised by their carers for much of the trip and who ran amuck, disturbing the food service and the other guests. My advice would be to do the morning cruise but if you have a few days when you can go, ask the business operators when there are no or few children going!!!Written 30 December 2021
- E8217GUdavidr0 contributionsFresh seafoodThe staff were great the food was fresh and the weather was perfect. The boat was comfortable with plenty of room to move about. My only suggestion would be to make the drinks a little cheaper to purchase onboard.Written 28 November 2021
- allenbassett0 contributionsFantastic experienceThis was a very special experience not just for seafood lovers. We arranged to go out with our friends and found the hospitality was fantastic. Beautiful locations and of course the freshest seafood ever. The skipper and all the staff were great, very friendly in all areas. This tour is one that everyone should experience.Written 13 May 2021

Our Deep to Dish Tasmanian Seafood Experience was a wonderful 4 and a half our cruise on the luxurious catamaran “Cuttlefish” departing from Hobart’s Elizabeth Street Pier.
Our culinary experience began with a seasonal fruit platter, Tasmanian cheese and smoked salmon. We feasted on sumptuous fresh seafood including abalone, oysters, sea urchin, periwinkles, salmon and crayfish all beautifully prepared by the very knowledgeable crew on board. Tasmanian wines and beers were offered throughout. At Bruny Island we had the opportunity to watch a crew member dive and surface with periwinkles and sea urchins
We very much enjoyed watching the crew skilfully prepare the seafood, displaying different techniques of preparation and cooking and pairing the seafood with an array of condiments and flavours displaying their passion in creating an ultimate customer experience. We would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a culinary seafood experience of Tasmanian wild seafood.

Our group of 4 had an incredibly memorable day out with Ben, Dan and Connor who were excellent friendly and knowledgable hosts.
This was a fantastic way to enjoy Hobart's magnificent harbour and waterways whilst indulging in seafood delicacies.
The crew went out of their way to ensure everyone was comfortable, well fed and hydrated throughout the day.
I would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates seafood along with those who are curious to try new things.
The fact that everyone was quite reluctant to disembark at the end of the trip speaks for itself.
I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Do not miss this tour. It is exceptional. If you love seafood , you will not be disappointed. Abalone, oysters , Sea Urchin. Periwinkles, Salmon, Lobster and yummy cake , washed down by the beverage of your choice. We had a gorgeous sunny day with only a light breeze, perfect weather. Do not have breakfast before this day out because there is so much food to be consumed. Shane and Nathan and Will were very informative about what was being served raw and cooked. Shane our Captain and also our diver was able to provide a lot of information about each menu item, even diving off the boat and collecting sea urchin and perwinkles off the ocean bed. Nathan was cooking most of the food in front of us and Will seemlessly ensured everyone was comfortable and had drinks in hand all day. If that was not enough, we finally had fabulous apple cake (julies mum's recipe) I would highly recommend this day out as the best tour I have been on in years.

A fantastic experience. The crew were extremely welcoming and added so much to a perfect day.
Captain Sean with his boating and fishing experience was only too happy to answer any question and was a wealth of knowledge.
Diver Dan who not only plucked tasty treats from the ocean floor cooked the catch in a variety of ways which made eating so much more interesting.
Our 5 year old daughter was welcomed and was included for the adventure which she will remember for a long time. She was always safe and comfortable.
Cheers to the team and Julie for making the booking easy with out any hassles.
Strongly recommend as a must do in Tassie.

What a fantastic experience! Skipper Shane and offsider Dan offered a trip to remember, together with a young girl, apologise for lack of name. The 3 worked non-stop from take off. Beautiful fruit/cheese/dip platter to start. Dan showed us Abalone and sampled. Shane took over with Oysters then offered demonstration of shucking .Fresh Oysters served together with Kilpatrick style. Dan went diving for Urchins and Perriwinkles. Again demonstration of preparation. Dan did his thing with a whole Atlantic Salmon. Shane took over and vol a, fresh I mean live and kicking, drowned and then beautifully cooked southern rock lobster. Offering champagne sauvignon blanc rose fruit juice and beer. It was an excellent experience with the freshest seafood you could wish for. A must do!

A must do experience for anyone who loves seafood! This tour was incredible! The food is unbelievable, to watch oysters be shucked in front of you eyes, then to be shown how to shuck oysters like a pro. The Staff are friendly, jovial and easy going, but still maintain a professional customer experience that vastly exceeds expectations.
If you are on the fence about this experience, do it!

Never ever have we come away with such reluctance to leave a tour!! What a day! 4.5hrs of relaxation, great crew who answered questions and went out of their to ensure the passengers received the best! I've never had sea urchin before and to have them picked freshly from the sea we could not get fresher! What a surprise! So wonderful and now a new favourite on my seafood list. The salmon served on salt blocks was also marvellous!
There was a good component of education on th the seafood and the Tasmanian Salmon Farms.
I just don't know what to say, it was all so good and I feel my words are not enough to do it justice. I did not want it to end. A true joy and l was living the dream.
The staff/crew wonderful, the food nothing less and certainly surpassed gourmet with quality and presentation. I am going to be talking about this great day for a long time and will recommend it to everyone. It might be restrictive by cost but as a once in a lifetime experience it should not be missed! Every moment is now treasured.

We had an amazing time with Tasmanian Wild Seafood Adventures on their "Deep to Dish" cruise. The nearly 5-hour journey offered the perfect mix of relaxation, exploration, and incredible seafood. From the start, we were warmly welcomed with fresh fruit, a snack, and a drink, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.
Sailing along Hobart’s stunning coastline was a treat, but the highlight was undoubtedly the seafood—caught straight from the ocean and prepared right before our eyes. Whether you prefer it fresh, seared, or stir-fried, every option was delicious and beautifully presented. The entire experience felt premium and transparent, with high standards of cleanliness and quality.
The staff were excellent—friendly, professional, and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and cared for throughout the trip. It was an exceptional adventure that I can’t recommend enough to anyone visiting Hobart. This is a must-do!

This experience was kindly organised for me and a close friend of mine. From setting sail from Hobart, this was going to be an incredible day. The team was amazing from the diver who caught our seafood, the captain and chefs preparing and cooking in front of us to its presentation. I won't forget shucking a few fresh oysters, trying Abalone for the first time and holding a live sea urchin while scrapping the 'uni' bits to taste. I loved visiting one of the local salmon farms and spotting some seals swimming nearby. With this being my first time in Tassie and only for a short stay, this experience went beyond my expectations. This is a MUST DO experience for all Seafood lovers. Thank you to Tasmanian Wild Seafood Adventures!

The experience was absolutely amazing. The 4.5 hours cruise went by so fast when we were caught in such well-prepared non-stop seafood feasts. One minute we were checking on the seafood being prepared by the crew, next minute dolphins were spotted, then sea seals... Captain Dan together with Dave and Ruby have done a fantastic job professionally under a friendly atmosphere. It's an unforgettable time. Thank you all :)
