Coral Adventurer is Coral Expeditions' purpose-built flagship, designed for remote, shallow-water cruising in regions such as the Kimberley, Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific. Carrying just 120 guests, she pairs a shallow 4.5 m draft with two large 65-passenger 'Xplorer' tender boats and six Zodiacs, landing guests ashore in about 20 minutes without gangways. Onboard she offers scientific research facilities, an open-bridge policy and over 1,000 sq m of open deck. A 2024 drydock added graphene-based fouling-release hull coatings.
