Onboard Aparima
At 14-metre long and seven-metre wide Aparima is one of the world’s best-designed charter catamarans, accommodating up to eight guests in four luxurious cabins furnished with natural timber. The onboard chef creates custom menus for every voyage, designed specifically to guests’ tastes using fresh local ingredients. Meals can be served in Aparima’s indoor lounge or outdoor dining area, while the sun deck’s trampolines, mattresses, and bean bags provide a sumptuous spot to enjoy a cocktail, relax with a book, or spot dolphins playing in the boat’s wake.
Diving and activities
Featuring ample stowage space, Aparima comes fully-equipped with all the toys, including paddleboards, diving gear, fishing gear, wake skates, and inflatable biscuits. The vessel also features a rigid tender, as well as a seven-metre Fijian long boat, ensuring guests can reach those far out diving and fishing spots in maximum comfort. Big Blue Fiji are passionate about fishing and aim to give guests the best chance possible to catch a fish of a lifetime, providing a range of rods and reels, as well as a variety of top-of-the-range tackle onboard. And, with limited guests onboard during multi-day voyages, you’ll be the sole focus of this highly experienced team, benefiting from their extensive skill set during every fishing and diving excursion.
