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 is 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. 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.
