This Voyage Norseman 430 built in South Africa is an open-ocean sailing catamaran that has just undergone an extensive refit in 2016-2018. She is 43 feet long and 25 feet wide. It has new – quiet and economical – twin 3-cylinder Yanmar diesel engines and cruises at an average speed of 8 knots under power and can sail even faster.
It’s a fast, capable, ocean-going sailing catamaran offering exhilarating sailing and luxurious accommodations at anchor. The hot showers and ice cold drinks are especially welcome after a day of exploring the islands and playing in the water.
This catamaran has four private queen-sized staterooms and three private bathrooms with an overnight guest capacity of six and room for up to 14 guests on a day excursion. Each stateroom has a queen-sized berth with high-quality linens, excellent ventilation with 12v turbo fans and air conditioning (in the fwd two cabins and salon), reading lights, USB and 12v car plugs. The private bathrooms are adjacent to each stateroom and feature flushing toilets, sink, mirror and hot water showers.
Its fully-equipped galley enables the Chef to prepare delicious meals. Its bright air salon and the multiple spaces outside make it really comfortable. Its 120 liter-per-hour water maker ensures ample fresh water aboard. Its storage capacity allows us to haul all the fun water toys including: unsinkable rigid tender with 20HP outboard and boarding ladder, snorkeling gear, kayaks, paddle board, windsurfing gear, fishing gear, and other toys. Its back deck and large swim platforms allow for easy boarding and make for a great place to fight in that big catch; the swim platform also has a boarding ladder and fresh water shower.
It is well-outfitted and fully-tested for extended cruises to remote locations, carrying her passengers in safety and comfort.
TEAM NO WORRIES :
Your Captain, Sasha, has had a passion for sailing from his young years beginning from the Adriatic coast in the Mediterranean Sea. Having read Herman Melville’s “Typee” he made a promise to himself to one day sail to the Marquesas. He moved to Boston and sailed with Boston Harbor Sailing and raced often with the fleet of Olympic class Solings. He did many yacht deliveries along the east coast of the USA until he finally delivered his own Island Packet 420 from Norfolk to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. In the next ten years, he zigzagged around the Caribbean, from Puerto Rico to Grenada. And then it was time to fulfill that promise to himself. With Jennie aboard, they sailed through the Panama Canal to Marquesas and on to many other Pacific islands. Their “bumming” around Hawaii, Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia brought them to Fiji where they have become enchanted by beautiful nature, lush green mountains, pristine white beaches, and especially by the friendly Fijians. It is here they have decided to stay.
Sasha got his first commercial boating license in his home country Slovenia, and later he earned his US Coast Guard sanctioned Captain 100 Tons diploma. He also holds a Fijian Class 6 (full) boat master license.
Your First Mate, Stewardess, and Cook, Jennie, is a very experienced blue water sailor. She has sailed, together with Sasha, the Caribbean islands, and then through the Panama canal to the most remote parts of the vast Pacific Ocean. She loves Fiji and the Fijians and is excited to set her permanent anchor in this pristine and unspoiled archipelago. She is an adventure-loving person and is excited to welcome and guide you on your exciting Fijian adventures! Jennie loves cooking and trying new cuisines. She has been trained by a superyacht chef and has gained her experience at high scale restaurants. Her loving and outgoing personality makes her a great guide to Fiji and a very welcoming environment aboard your own private luxury adventure yacht.
