The main deck features an open plan with outdoor and indoor dining areas, a spacious saloon with forward-facing navigation station, a fully equipped galley for your personal Chef to produce wonderful meals, and a wet bar off the galley with a serving window to the cockpit area.

An inflatable dinghy with skipper is available to take you to the beach or great snorkeling spots. The huge foredeck offers additional lounging and seating areas.

Sleek windows along the sides of the coach roof add to the elegant look of the deck and give the interior a light, voluminous feel, while louver steps on the foredeck shade the saloon.
Below decks, the four double cabins with en-suite toilets and showers are large, luxurious and private.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. I am prone to sea-sickness so I am concerned about the movement of the boat at night?
  The boat will be permanently moored in the calm (horseshoe-shaped) lagoon of Port Maurelle on the SW/W side of Kapa Island (prevailing winds come from SE of the Vava'u Islands) - this   is the calmest anchorage in Vava'u, so their will be very little, but mostly, no movement of the   boat at night or during the day.

  2. Is there lots of room in the cabins?
  All cabins are light and airy with plenty of room to move around.Your cabin is for sleeping, resting and showering - all other times you will be up on the'social' decks where the social activities take place. Each cabin has an opening  port-hole window and ceiling hatch.

  4. How easy is it to get off the boat and go ashore for other activities?
  There is a 'tender' for the catamaran and can transport guests to the beach at Port Maurelle to walk or explore or further to Swallows or Mariners Caves or Nuku Island to snorkel. A member of the crew will be available to do this. You just need to ask!

  5. Will there be lots of mosquitos around the boat?
  Unlike being in a land-based resort, there will no mosquitoes in or around the Island Voyager.
