The Fiji Passage
Sailing New Zealand to Fiji
There's a particular kind of person who reads about a New Zealand to Fiji yacht passage and feels something stir, rather than something worry. If that's you, keep reading.
About this passage
Open ocean. Real watch-keeping. Days where the only land in sight is the horizon.
We're developing a multi-day offshore sailing passage from Lyttelton to Fiji — aboard a vessel with genuine racing pedigree, built for exactly this kind of NZ to Fiji yacht passage. Open ocean. Real watch-keeping. Days where the only land in sight is the horizon, and the only plan is the weather.
This isn't a cruise. It's blue-water sailing the way it's meant to be done — and it's currently in development as we finalise the final details.
If you've sailed offshore before and you're already looking for what's next, or if you've never crossed an ocean under sail but have always wondered what it would feel like — register your interest below. We'll let you know the moment berths open, before anyone else does.

Building Your Offshore Sea Miles
A New Zealand to Fiji sailing passage is one of the most significant offshore sea miles opportunities available to New Zealand sailors. Every day at sea counts toward your RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualifying sea time — logged properly, with real watch-keeping responsibility, not just a passenger seat.
