About Crewed Catamaran PAPILLON
PAPILLON is a Nautitech 46 Fly catamaran built in 2016, offering refined comfort for six guests across three cabins. Her teakwood interior balances contemporary design with understated warmth, flooded with natural light through expansive glazing. Each cabin features a private en-suite, providing a tranquil retreat between days of exploration.
On deck, the flybridge commands panoramic views across the South Pacific, whilst the foredeck's netted trampolines invite unhurried afternoons under the Fijian sun. The generous aft deck serves as your alfresco dining room, where the onboard chef prepares dishes rooted in island ingredients and technique. Twin hulls deliver stability and shallow draught, essential for accessing Fiji's most secluded anchorages.
Highlights
- •Access to Yasawa Islands anchorages unreachable by larger vessels
- •On-board chef preparing daily menus from local, seasonal produce
- •Dual foredeck net trampolines and expansive flybridge for relaxation
- •Shallow draught catamaran hull ideal for Fiji's pristine lagoons
The Charter Experience
Your dedicated crew, captained by an expert navigator, curates each day around your preferences. Mornings might unfold with snorkelling above coral gardens near Malolo and Tavarua, afternoons with island-hopping to hidden lagoons, or time ashore for water sports. Evenings gather the group for chef-prepared feasts on the aft deck, cocktails as the sun sets, and nights anchored in turquoise shallows. The itinerary adapts to weather, wildlife sightings, and your appetite for adventure or stillness.
Suggested Itinerary
A seven-day voyage typically departs Nadi, sailing to the Yasawa Islands for overnight anchorage and alfresco dining, then explores Malolo and Tavarua for coral snorkelling and beach landings. Days balance structured excursions (kitesurfing, village visits, diving) with unscheduled time in anchorages where crew monitor marine life and local conditions. Return to Nadi concludes the charter; many guests extend with a resort stay or book consecutive weeks.
