Fiji's Best Private Yacht Charters

Hop aboard the luxurious 44-foot catamaran Aparima from Port Denarau for day trips to the lovely Mamanuca Islands. With space for 15 guests on the twin-hulled sailing vessel, the day starts with a visit to the islands and ends with a sunset sail back to Denarau.

In between, there’s time for snorkelling, SUP boarding, inflatable biscuit rides and wake skates. Plus, there is plenty of time for lounging in beanbags, or on the trampolines strung between the foredeck, or lingering over a leisurely BBQ lunch.

Big Blue’s fully crewed overnight charters can accommodate 8 guests in four ensuite cabins, and may be themed around fishing, scuba diving, freediving or island explorations. A 7-day charter takes in the best of the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands including favourite anchorages like the Blue Lagoon, Malolo Lailai and Nanuya Balavu where guests have the chance to swim with manta rays during the season.

Sail in Fiji has two monohull sailboats that are both comfortable and safe world-cruising yachts. Both are fully equipped for island adventures, whether on a day sail with your besties, a sunset cruise or an extended overnight charter with 8 of your closest friends through remote island chains.

The pace is leisurely as the yachts sail to idyllic anchorages before hammocks are strung from the bow and floating on LiLos is a languid way to get wet and stay cool. Snorkel sets and fishing gear are onboard for guest use and lunch is served alfresco, taking in all the beauty of surrounding islands.

Special interest charters can be accommodated for surfers keen to surf Fiji’s famed surf breaks such as Cloud Break and Restaurants amongst many others. To allow maximum time in the water, the yacht is safely positioned near breaks, providing a haven for relaxing and eating in between surf sessions. Private charters can also accommodate other interests such as scuba diving, fishing and pre-arranged cultural visits to villages in the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands.

Tradewinds’ two luxurious catamarans, the TradeWinds 59 and the TradeWinds 52, specialise in lavish all-inclusive holiday experiences. Creating memories to last a lifetime, these Fiji sailing adventures are fully crewed and equipped with an assortment of ‘water toys’ to keep you happy.

The 7-day fully crewed charters depart Port Denarau Marina, bound for the Yasawa Islands and the Mamanuca Islands. Itineraries showcase Fijian cultures and customs, where you will experience the traditional rituals of sevusevu when visiting villages followed by meke dance and performances.

Snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, surfing and sailing feature on most every day as the yachts sail through some of Fiji’s most spectacular islands. Stunning Monoriki Island – location of the Tom Hanks survivor movie ‘Cast Away’ and Navadra island where the US Survivor TV series was filmed are popular stopovers. Other highlights include remote sand cays which are concealed, then revealed, as the tide ebbs and flows.

Sailing vessel QUIXOTIC is a 43 foot long, 23-foot-wide catamaran designed for voyaging the oceans of the world. With four guest staterooms and three ensuite bathrooms QUIXOTIC can accommodate up to six guests on overnight liveaboard charters, or up to 14 guests on a day trip. An abundance of toys are carried, whether guests interests are kayaking, kiteboarding, windsurfing, surfing, diving or snorkeling.

Shore excursions may include hiking nature trails, exploring coastal sea caves or pottering through islands in the rigid inflatable tender while trailing a fishing lure to catch fish for dinner. Cultural visits to a Fijian village, including a traditional sevusevu are part of every liveaboard charter. Liveaboard itineraries vary with the seasons, from the popular Yasawa and Mananuca Islands to the far-flung Lau Group where few travelers visit.

With a passion for sharing the very best of Fiji’s culture, islands and fresh food sourced directly from growers, a sailing adventure on Quixotic promises memories to last a lifetime.
