At anchor Auriga Bay II is very stable and provides a remarkably serine ambience to relax and reflect on the day's enjoyment and the surrounding beauty of the Top End's remote, pristine environment.

Auriga Bay II was one of the first 'live aboards' cruising the waters of the Northern Great Barrier Reef. Built in the late seventies, she shares her name with one of the most remote and beautiful dive sites on the far Northern Great Barrier Reef, Auriga Bay on Southern Small Detached Reef.

Auriga Bay II was relocated to Gove, Northern Territory in 2004 and rapidly attained acceptance as the premier vessel for extended cruising and fishing charters in the region. Her unique design was ahead of its time and makes her more than comfortable for a range of charter options and safe in all conditions.
