Owned by professional yacht delivery captain. Who specialises in teaching new yacht owners how to sail, maintain their yachts, pick suitable weather for passages and the cruising yachtie lifestyle ( onboard lessons available by request ). Can take you to meet my friends and learn their customs in remote villages around Fiji.
I can be available ( as I am for the bigger yachts I work on ) to advise you on all matters maritime.
Great Fiji home, overnight fishing, surf trips and exploring vessel. Or just a home at the marina in beautiful Fiji.
The yacht has been my part time Fiji home for 2.5 years.
Based in a live aboard marina berth at Nawi Island Savusavu ( berthing costs averaging $140 Fijian a week).
Very beautiful and safe marina with good access to shops, bars, restaurants, fishing and snorkeling spots etc.
Just completed a circumnavigation of Vanua Levu (November 2023). Super cool trip to some remote spots that have only seen a couple of yachts since covid.
Getting some beautiful fancy weaving/ rope work done by Fijian specialist ( photos available soon ).
Lots of extras onboard
