Welcome to Fiji, the playground of the South Pacific! A rich culture made up of Melanesian, Polynesian, and significant Indian influences, Fiji is sure to excite sailors, surfers, divers and the adventurous at heart. With rugged high rising mountains, coral reefs, and beautiful beaches coupled with Polynesian culture, (and the Indian palate firmly entrenched in the cuisine) Fiji is a sensual delight for all comers.
Long-known as a paradise for Australian travelers, the country has developed modern amenities with lush resorts, providing all the comforts for the extravagant traveler. However, Fiji still manages to maintain its cultural heritage with a timeless, age-old feel when visiting the outer islands and villages. Ancient rituals are still very much practised, and very much expected in the world renowned Fijian welcome … “BULA”!
This is a sample itinerary. Weather or other outside factors may mean that your skipper sets an alternative course.
Arrival Day - Saturday
Our first day sees us meeting our crew and fellow charter friends at our new office at Port Denarau at 5pm on Saturday. We are located on the waterfront near the near Sails restaurant, adjacent to Port Denarau Marina where the yachts are based, and this is our launching pad for the Fijian Adventure.
As soon as all are aboard and accounted for, we head out for a 20 minute sail to our overnight anchorage. Settle in, its Fiji time now.
Cruising Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
We will begin our Fijian section of the CircumNavigation amongst some of the most well-loved and recently discovered anchorages nestled within the Yasawas and Mamanucas archipelagos.
This area has proved to be a favorite amongst TradeWinds’ Members and Guests since 2016. We have learned so much since then - and still have so much more to explore!
Our experienced local Fijian team will take the crews and vessels under their wings, and use this first two months to introduce the CircumNavigation teams to the customs and culture of Fiji. This will ensure that we are welcomed, and that we are able to respect the ancient traditions that are relevant, practised and expected throughout the Fijian Islands, setting the CircumNavigation team up for their ongoing sailing to the more remote areas of Fiji.
Week in, week out this area offers some of TradeWinds’ favorite sailings, and we can promise that you won’t be disappointed.
As well as visiting old favourites, we will explore some newly discovered anchorages and villages, and a mix of the best of the Yasawas and Mamanucas, on our two luxurious vessels, Superyacht Turquoise Dreams II and Luxury Yacht Shady Lady.
Settle in; your Fijian Adventure is about to begin!
Departure Day - Saturday
After a beautiful full breakfast aboard at Port Denarau, we exchange photos and contacts and start making plans for our next TradeWinds' trip.
Bula Vinaka!
