Escape to Fiji This Summer with Motor Yacht ‘De Lisle III’

By Rebecca Bradbury 3 April 2017

Gulf Craft’s 42m/138ft superyacht ‘De Lisle III’ is available for charter in the exotic cruising grounds of Fiji from June 2017.

Built by the UAE-based yard in 2008, De Lisle III is one of the finest yachts available for charter in the South Pacific. No expense is spared throughout her Sam Sorgiovanni-designed interior and, with state-of-the-art amenities, she offers guests a private yacht charter of a lifetime.

Usually available in the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef, she will be heading to Fiji this summer. The epitome of paradise, the glittering archipelago is comprised of more than 300 islets, each steeped in emerald green coves, white sand beaches and inviting turquoise waters.

Choose from a variety of deck areas from which take in the incredible island landscapes. Unwind in the sundeck Jacuzzi, sip champagne in the Portuguese deck’s secluded seating area and enjoy freshly grilled seafood from the barbecue on the upper deck aft.

There is a sleek bar here too, where guests can grab a drink before catching up with loved ones over a delicious alfresco dinner. During the day, meanwhile, the large swim platform is easily reached from the main deck aft and an extensive collection of water toys await your discovery.

Beautiful Fijian bays and islands can be explored on the sailing dingy, sea kayaks or paddleboards. Plus, there is full on-board diving gear for exploration of the island-chain’s coral rich waters. Top dive sites include the Great Astrolabe Reef, Rakiraki, Beqa Lagoon, and Taveuni and the Koro Sea.

After a busy day of exploration, guests can retreat into the sophisticated and modern interior of luxury yacht De Lisle III. Rich wooden wall panels are contrasted by pale-coloured furnishings, and among the elegant materials are Italian marble, natural leather and 24-carat gold fittings.

Entertain guests aboard the Gulf Craft-build in a sociable lounge in the main salon before hosting a lavish dinner party in the adjoining dining area forward. Large windows allow natural light to flood into the surrounds and keep guests constantly connected to the spectacular cruising grounds.

A full-beam master suite, featuring a study and his and hers bathrooms, is found on the lower deck and adjoins a cinema room, which can serve as a cabin ideal for children and staff. There is also a full-beam VIP suite on the main deck, and a double cabin and twin cabin on the lower deck.
