SMB Adventure is an inshore Survey Motor Boat of the Royal New Zealand Navy and part of the Navy's Deployable Hydrographic Unit. She is not a commissioned ship, and was usually transported on and operated as a tender from HMNZS Resolution. Adventure is capable of independent operations and short coastal passages.
SMB Adventure was built in Kumeu, North Auckland, in 1998.[1] A catamaran hull was chosen to give a wide working area aft and allow the multibeam echo sounder to be retracted between the hulls.
