Sauna Boat Tasmania
Kettering, Australia
About
An electric sauna built from Tasmanian timber, on a boat moored at Oyster Cove Marina in Kettering, south of Hobart. The boat stays tied up for the hour-long sessions, which take up to four people, shared or private. An enclosed plunge area lets you drop into the cold water of the cove between rounds.
Good to know
- Electric stove: quicker to bring up to temperature, easier to control, and what most urban bathhouses run.
- Right on the sea: expect saltwater dips between rounds, cold even in summer.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Set in nature, away from the city, so bring a car or plan the transfer in advance.
- Bookable as a private session: rent the room for your group rather than sharing with strangers.
