Fiji : "Yacht Stellar"
Sun Odyssey 49 by Jeanneau Yachts of France

Surfing Fiji & The New Surfing Decree

The surfing in Fiji is world class and it's no surprise when you consider that Fiji is a collection of over 300 islands and atolls surrounded by reefs, and is exposed to year round swell from the Southern Ocean. Many of Fiji's famous surf breaks Cloud break, Restaurants and Namotu were difficult to gain access to because of former legislation that policed the rights to surf certain breaks. However on July 9th 2010 The Fijian Government instigated the Fijian Surfing Decree which abolished exclusivity and now Fiji is free to surf any break at any time. Fiji Safaris will put you into any break in Fiji but their extensive knowledge of the region ensures that you are very well placed. Surf remote Fiji and dozens of less documented waves that will reduce crowd factor and will get you surf stoked in remote paradise with just you and your mates.

Ian Thomson your skipper and Fiji surfing guide has been involved in the sport, industry and lifestyle of surfing for more than 30 years. His passion for surfing Fiji island waves and Fiji reef breaks still remains as strong as ever. The crew is convinced that Fiji island waves and reef breaks will more than satisfy any wave hungry surfer.

Having chartered extensively around Fiji for the past 7 years on the 36 foot sailing boat Safari, the founder of Safari Charters Ian Thomson in 2006 formed a partnership with Steele Jones also a Kiwi and keen sailor. Steele a surfer and all round waterman has chosen Fiji as his home and now complements safari charters. With Steele joining the company it was time to venture out and get a new yacht to accommodate a larger market, hence in July 2009 Ian and Steele embarked on an 8000 nautical mile passage to bring Stellar back from the Caribbean to her new home in Nadi waters of Fiji where she is now based. The far more suited and spacious charter boat now provides plenty of room for the guests and the luxury of a faster and more comfortable sailing experience.
