Many inner harbour runs were cancelled. The Waiheke run was catered for with smaller vessels such Harbour Cat, Osprey, Quickcat II and the Starflyte.In an ironic twist of fate one of the first ferries back on the run was the Jet Raider which was greeted with humoured approval. Fullers recognised the need for another vessel and purchased the Adventurer. The Adventurer came from Strahan in Tasmania where it cruised the famous Gordon River, Sarah Island and Hells Gate. World Heriatge Cruises is run by the Grining family. In August 2007 the Adventurer was spotted sporting the Fullers company livery.
