Charter the Yacht Mischief in Fiji: 5 Great Reasons to Book Her

While Americans are soaking up summertime weather, those living in the Southern Hemisphere are heading into winter. Winter doesn’t mean cold temperatures there, however, especially in Fiji. In fact, it’s the perfect time to cruise amid some of the archipelago’s 330-plus islands. Starting next month through September, you can charter the yacht Mischief, through Ahoy Club. Usually in Australia—and Australia’s largest charter yacht—the 177-footer (54-meter) is the biggest boat for a party of 12. But, that’s not the sole reason to book her. Here are five reasons she stands out for exploring the Mamanuca islands, where filmmakers shot the movie Cast Away, and the dramatic, mountainous Yasawa islands.

CATCH DINNER WITH THE CREW—LITERALLY

Not only do most of the crew have extensive experience aboard Mischief, but also aboard busy charter yachts in the Med and Caribbean. Equally noteworthy, the chief officer, Byron, has keen knowledge cruising in Fiji. In fact, he spent upwards of a year plying the waters. Better yet, several crew love to fish, and they’ll help you reel in dinner or go spearfishing on fishing trips. If you’d rather chill out, however, that’s no problem. A massage therapist is onboard, too.

DIVERS’ DELIGHT

Fiji boasts phenomenal marine life beneath the surface. If you’re a diver, you’re in for a treat. Not only that, but no other charter yacht in the region has eight sets of dive gear onboard.

$15M MAKEOVER

Chartering is vacation option where the yacht is an integral part of the experience. If you charter the yacht Mischief, you’ll be treated to nearly all-new interiors, refreshed decks, and more. A $15-million refit last year further led to larger bars, better entertainment systems, and better air conditioning and ventilation for increased comfort. This makeover complements an earlier refit that included installing an infrared sauna in the full-beam master suite.

SUNDECK OR STUDIO 54, YOUR CHOICE

Naturally, this 176-footer has an ample sundeck, complete with a hot tub benefitting from some of the best views. But, did you know that the hot tub converts to an entertainment stage? Or that the retractable sunroof becomes a moonroof, complementing the open-space-turned-dancefloor come nightfall? It can open fully or partially as well. Plus, custom clear windscreens keep you all protected even on breezy days (or nights, as the case may be).

TERRIFIC TOYLAND

Finally, if you charter the yacht Mischief in Fiji, the waters of the quiet atolls are perfect for paddleboarding. You might just be the only people around, letting you soak up the naturally stunning scenery all the more. If splashing around is your style, the crew can set up a big floating pool extension off the transom. Fliteboards and Seabobs are among the other watertoys stowed aboard as well.

Swimming in tucked-away lagoons and snorkeling amid extraordinarily colorful coral reefs are some of the other activities you can indulge in while in Fiji. Mischief’s crew also can tell you about the local villagers, find you stretches of sand for walking, and more.
