Earning Extra Karma Points

Many of the world’s finest luxury yachts and superyachts have been stationed in Fiji at some point. The owners have sometimes generously offered unchartered weeks for use as research platforms.More info here…

Chartering a Yacht in Fiji

You do not have to own a yacht to experience the beauty of sailing around the islands of Fiji. There are many reputable charter options available; from sailing yachts, catamarans and motor yachts to powerboats; choosing from skippered to entirely crewed – we have something for everyone! As a popular (and growing) super yacht destination, you will often find luxury super yacht charter holidays available too.More info here…

Exploring the Friendly North

Vanua Levu is second in size to Viti Levu yet it is unique in the absence of tourist infrastructure and the slow pace of life. The north shore of Vanua Levu is one of the most unexplored and undiscovered areas of Fiji. It presents lush, unspoiled tropical beauty with a spattering of traditional villages set on beaches surrounded by thriving forests and coconut plantations. The protected waters of the leeward north coast where the winds are lighter and seas flatter offers the opportunity for diving, fishing, snorkeling and surfing in season.More info here…

The History of Game Fishing in Fiji

By Albert Threadingham

There has always been a lot of interest in Game Fishing in Fiji Waters. Over the years early pioneers who had recognized the fishing potential of fish local waters told many a tale of their adventures with elusive Marlin and Sailfish. Billfish species are present in Fiji Waters along with a plethora of other giant sized pelagic species and the famous Fiji wahoo ‘that wouldn’t fit in a bath tub’.

Fiji was always going to be
the perfect location to host
an International Game Fishing
 Tournament, but it certainly didn’t happen overnight.More info here…

Fish, Glorious Fish

by Alfred Moy – Honolulu, Hawaii

I live in one of the most beautifulI spots on earth, Hawaii. Yet I choose to return to Fiji, the land of my birth, again, and again, and again! Like they say, “You can take the boy out of Fiji, but you can’t take Fiji out of the boy” and this applies 100% to Moi!More info here…

Getting to Know the Fijians – and their Koro

By Dr Paul Geraghty

When I was a young lad growing up in the Midlands of England, people who met me for the first time would usually ask not, as some might expect, “What’s your name?” – “sunny Jim” or “Charlie” or “tubby” would do for that – or “Where are you from?”, “What team do you support?” Meaning what football (soccer) team did I follow, or ‘barrack for’ as some say in the Antipodes (since you ask, the answer is Coventry City, I’m a long-suffering Sky Blue fan). And I don’t think that much has changed over the years – today, for most English kids, and many adults, their football team is one of the main markers of their identity. Ethnicity is also important, but not something you would ask directly.More info here…

Traditional Navigation

Setariki Ledua grew up on the isolated island of Fulaga, sailing traditional Camakau – Lauan canoes carved from the Vesi (Intsia bijunga) tree. His childhood was spent immersed in sailing, learning all he could under the powerful influence of both his father and uncle. Through them he learnt to sail, navigate and build the Camakau, and of his sailing ancestors exploring and trading throughout the region. Sailing was always a passion for Seta, until he volunteered as crew on a historic voyage along ancient migratory routes on the Uto Ni Yalo, when it became a way of life…More info here…

Firstly we wanted to compliment you on a fantastic guide for yachties to Fiji. It not only has extensive boat related information but your inclusion of thoughtful pieces on local customs and people are very insightful. Your focus on environmentally friendly practices is appreciated. Keep up the good work! It’s mutually beneficial to visitors to Fiji and the Fijians themselves in that it helps to protect their beautiful waters and coasts.  We will regularly refer to  your book and I am sure we will enjoy the services of many of your advertisers. We look forward to many more good years cruising these beautiful islands. Tony Whiting & Margaret Wilson - SY “Taranui III”,  New Zealand

I have visited 7 marinas in Northland, NZ and distributed over 150 copies of FIJI Shores & Marinas and received very good feedback from the yachties. The publication is world-class and is far superior to a lot of guides that I came across. You guys are doing a great job and leaving everyone for dead in terms of presentation and content. Cheers!
