Fiji’s leading marina, Port Denarau, has confirmed its support for the inaugural South Pacific Superyacht Rendezvous as a Gold Sponsor.
Port Denarau Marina is a key location for superyachts in the South Seas. Boasting more than 50 berths for vessels measuring up to 85 meters, the marina plays an important role in hosting international visitors and supporting the local maritime community.
Through its involvement in the South Pacific Superyacht Rendezvous, Port Denarau strengthens its longstanding relationship with event host The Superyacht Gathering and demonstrates its commitment to promoting the charms of Fiji’s cruising grounds to the international superyacht industry.
CEO Cynthia Rasch commented, “Port Denarau Marina is committed to supporting the inaugural South Pacific Superyacht Rendezvous as Gold Sponsors. We are excited to be part of this prestigious event and to contribute to its success. As Gold Sponsors, we are dedicated to showcasing excellence in the superyacht industry and promoting the beauty of the South Pacific region. This event presents an invaluable opportunity to connect with industry leaders, enthusiasts, and stakeholders, and we are honoured to play a significant role in it. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration and an unforgettable event.”
In addition to being a Gold Sponsor, Port Denarau will serve as the starting point of the first regatta of the Rendezvous on August 28th, with a captains’ briefing at Cardo’s Restaurant beforehand. The marina joins fellow sponsors Tourism Fiji, Yachting Fiji, Tahiti Tourism, and Southport Yacht Club, who have all contributed to bringing this exciting new event to life.
Taking place from August 27th to 30th, 2024, this event will be the first of its kind for the region. The Rendezvous invites superyacht owners of sailing and motor yachts measuring 22 meters and above to participate in three days of friendly racing around the stunning Malolo Islands, interspersed with relaxed, barefoot beach parties each afternoon.
An eclectic mix of venues around the Fijian islands will host the event, including the 5-star Six Senses Resort, The Sofitel on Denarau Island, and Vuda Marina.
The Rendezvous is hosted by The Superyacht Gathering, an organisation founded in 2019 as a platform for building connections within the South Pacific superyacht community. Events orchestrated by Founder Linda Berry have included symposiums and gatherings held in Fiji and New Zealand, but 2024 will see the launch of her first official Rendezvous.
