Temptation is surveyed to hold up to 50 passengers and is an extremely stable and spacious vessel. ‘Temptation’ contains a fully licensed bar, a spacious furnished cabin and a 360 degree viewing deck.

Temptation is the first vessel in South Australia to be given a dolphin swim license and has been conducting successful wild dolphin swims in Glenelg, South Australia since January 2002. Over many years, they have developed a relationship with the dolphins of Adelaide and this is possibly the only cruise of its type where the dolphins come directly to the boat!
