Cruising Fiji-

Looking for fun, somewhat experienced crew for Fiji Island cruise. Arrive mid May to prepare boat in Vida Marina Fiji then spend 4-5 weeks cruising around Fiji. usually 3-4 days to pack boat up in Vida Marina after trip.

Arrived in Fiji after leaving Mexico in March 2022, sailed around french polynesia with my wife and one crew member for 2 months in 2023, crossing from FP to Cook Islands, Tonga, and arrived in Fiji 2024.

Sailing a 39ft Freedom express. Fully maintained with updated safety equipment, iridium go weather and communications. Captain has owned and sailed boat for 6 years. Looking for total of two - three fairly experienced sailors to join trip. Be safe, learn from each others skills, have fun and love of adventure and new cultures and lands are the only pre-requisites. That is please bring a good attitude!

expense average out between US$15-20/day for food, mooring balls and a bit of diesel. All boat maintenance paid for by captain.
