SMB Adventure was built in Kumeu, North Auckland, in 1998. A catamaran hull was chosen to give a wide working area aft and allow the multibeam echo sounder to be retracted between the hulls.
Adventure is fitted with an echo sounder and data can be integrated with the multi-beam system fitted to Resolution.
