Sail and snorkel Vava'u on a beautiful classic yacht

“Jocara” is a beautiful and seaworthy cutter-rigged sloop. 52' on deck, Jocara is a solidly-built fibreglass yacht designed and constructed in New Zealand to Herreschoff hull lines in 1974. Jocara has sailed extensively in the South Pacific and Indian Oceans, and has seen her crew safely through hurricanes and tsunamis in over 30,000 miles of ocean cruising.

The spacious and comfortable centre cockpit gives shelter and comfort. The custom-designed teak-seat on the pulpit allows guests to sit comfortably out at the tip of the two-metre solid teak bowsprit, whether just to watch the yacht slice through the water or to photograph dolphins playing in the bow wave.

There is a shower at the stern for rinsing off after a swim or dive. An extensive library of guide books provides guests with ample opportunity to learn about the natural wonders around them.

Jocara's length and heavy cruising construction make her a remarkably stable platform for photography and those sensitive to motion discomfort. Her spacious interior boasts a full 6' 6" headroom in the main saloon.

For exploring coves and shallows, and to approach marine life with minimal disturbance, Jocara is equipped with a new 3.5m Aquapro Divemaster Rigid-hull Inflatable Boat certified for 6 persons and a powerful but quiet and ecologically-friendly 20 hp four-stroke outboard motor.

Whether your dream is to helm a classic yacht through pure turquoise seas, dive, swim or snorkel tropical reefs, whale-watch, explore the extraordinary nature and ecology of the Vava'u islands or just relax in the cockpit with a cold glass of wine and a book, Jocara can offer you the experience of a lifetime.
