The Launch of Fiji Surf Charter — A Journey Back to Where It All Began

After over a decade of working on the ocean—from luxury yachts in the Maldives to hosting surf and kite trips across the Pacific—this chapter feels different.


Fiji Surf Charter is the result of years of work, grit, and a deep connection to this place.

I first came to Fiji in 2012. What started as a kite surf trip turned into something more. I built a bond with a local family, spent seasons running kite trips from Taveuni, and explored the Coral Coast with groups chasing swell. Over time, I wasn’t just visiting—I was returning. Again and again.

This charter is the evolution of that journey.
A 105-foot vessel, built for serious surf missions but grounded in something deeper—respect for place, people, and purpose.

For me, the “why” has always mattered. Beyond the waves, I’m committed to supporting the village I’m connected to—ensuring the local kids have access to school supplies and basic needs so they can keep learning, growing, and thriving. This charter creates a way to give back, not just take.

The build took time.
Right boat. Right team. Right moment.
Now, it’s go time.

We’ve designed this to feel personal and professional—high-level service, seamless logistics, and daily surf flexibility with two tenders to chase the best breaks. From Cloudbreak to lesser-known outer reefs, it’s a setup that works for both performance and play. Yoga and wellness offerings are onboard too—for those who want balance after big sessions.

It’s all come together in a way I couldn’t have scripted—but every lesson, every relationship, and every turn brought me back here.

Fiji’s in my blood now. And this is just the beginning.

See you on deck.
