An Expedition Vessel Built for the Kimberley

Discovery One is a 25-metre expedition catamaran purpose-built to explore the remote waterways and coastal environments of the Kimberley. With a shallow draft that allows access to tidal rivers, narrow gorges and the many islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago, Discovery One reaches places that larger vessels simply cannot.

With a maximum of 21 guests and a crew of six, the atmosphere aboard is relaxed, social and genuinely personal. The experienced crew — Kimberley specialists with over 25 years in the region — share their deep knowledge of the landscape, wildlife and Indigenous culture at every turn. Two tenders allow all guests to go ashore simultaneously, so excursions are never rushed.
