South Pacific-based organisation The Superyacht Gathering has announced it will host its inaugural rendezvous in Fiji in August 2024.
The programme will feature friendly regattas raced around the Fijian islands, interspersed with “barefoot beach parties” to allow owners from Oceania and further afield to meet. The event is open to sailing and motor yachts 22 metres and above, with $500 from each yacht entry being donated to the Fiji Yachting Association’s Kids Sailing Program.
The Fiji Yachting Association has also deeded the historic 1997 President’s Cup as the winning prize and will be running the races in partnership with Australia’s Southport Yacht Club. The yacht’s name and year will sit on the plinth along with “some of the great racing yachts of the South Pacific”.
“The Superyacht Gathering is all about building a strong community of owners and industry professionals in the South Pacific,” explained founder Linda Berry. “Together, we are working towards luring superyachts away from traditional cruising areas so that they can discover what this stunning region has to offer.”
This follows the success of the organisation’s gathering in Fiji last year, which saw 47 local and international guests from Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, Ecuador, the UK and the US attend.

The event will be held among the idyllic islands of Fiji, uniting the superyacht community in the tropical waters of the south seas. It is set to become an annual occasion in the superyacht calendar.
Designed for a multi-generational group of international and local yachties, the event program will feature barefoot beach parties interspersed with friendly regattas for sailing and motor yachts measuring over 22 metres.
In collaboration with the Fiji Yachting Association, the first South Pacific Superyacht Rendezvous pledges $500 from each superyacht registration to support young sailors across Fiji for the youth program.
Programs in Suva, Lautoka, and Savusavu will focus on sailing, safety, and ocean conservation, enriching children’s lives and nurturing Fiji’s maritime legacy.

The majestic Yasawa Islands group lies northwest of the main island of Viti Levu in Fiji and stretches 62nm into the South Pacific Ocean.
Their remoteness, white sand beaches, clear blue lagoons and unique terrain, makes this remote, rugged and authentic group of 20 ancient islands, one of the most stunning regions of Fiji.
Fortunately because of this remoteness to the mainland, commercial development has never taken hold.
Team Fiji has won two silver medals in sailing at the 2023 Pacific Games.
Sophia Morgan finished second by countback in the individual event.
She later teamed up with Nelle Leenders in the team event, where they also scooped a silver medal, completing a grueling six-day long regatta.More info here…
