EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN CHARTER
With its gentle summer breezes, lively medieval villages and
whimsical markets, the Eastern Mediterranean littoral is, without
doubt, the perfect blend of Western sophistication and Eastern
fascination. Exuding an eclectic mix of culture and charm, this

Extending from the famed Italian heel to the captivating Turkish
Riviera, the Eastern Mediterranean shoreline combines the
beauty of three mesmerising seas: the Ionian, the Adriatic and
the Aegean. Each is peppered by a mosaic of islands, contains a
series of picture-postcard villages and is adorned with a medley
of historical sites waiting to be explored. Sail out to Venice [1]
for a romantic dinner for two; to Zrce for a night of hedonistic
dancing; or to Cyprus for an underwater adventure. Navigate your
way through the Corinth Canal for a noteworthy journey; go to
a Turkish hammam in Marmaris for a moment of rejuvenation;
or have a cocktail in Santorini for an intimate moment
enjoying a spectacular sunset. Devote your days to the Eastern
Mediterranean Sea for a memorable Feadship charter.
The glory of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea will leave a permanent
impression on those who sail along its picturesque shores.
Isolated coves invite exploration by kayak, jet ski or snorkel;
spotless beaches adorned with blue umbrellas, open-air cabanas
and floating wooden jetties offer day and night programmes
where music and cocktails abound; exotic foods captivate the
senses with their bright colours, flavourful tastes and tantalising
smells; and welcoming traditions provide just the right setting for
camaraderie. Drink an afternoon tea under the shade of a tree
while playing a friendly game of backgammon. Dance the night
away in a beachside nightclub in the company of jet setters.
Make friends and have fun on your next Eastern Mediterranean
Feadship charter.

infamous party towns, Greece’s striking seaside retreats, Turkey’s

traditions. Enrich your day discovering the exotic panoramas,
secret caves, sleepy coves and golden-sand beaches from the
comfort of your private tender.
PAXOS
Wake up at sunrise to catch dinner. Ask your experienced guide to
show you how to catch fish swimming around tiny Paxos, such as
the amberjack, meru, tuna or bream.
LEFKADA
Boasting some of the best windsurfing and kitesurfing in Europe,
the mountainous island of Lefkada is truly a surfing paradise. Take

a lifetime.
CEPHALONIA
Take a jet ski to Myrtos Beach on the isle of Cephalonia, arguably
one of the loveliest beaches in the Mediterranean Sea, with its
kilometre-long curve of dazzling white pebbles backed by sheer
limestone cliffs.
ZAKYNTHOS
Find true Grecian spirit in the hillsides of Zakynthos, relax in the
therapeutic sulphur springs around Keri, take an afternoon scuba
dive to discover the undersea world or ask the skipper to drop
anchor in a dramatic sandy inlet only accessible by water.
ANTIPAXOS
Appreciate the blue summer skies and the gentle afternoon breeze
as you sail to Antipaxos. Divide the day between a leisurely kayak
and sampling Greek appetisers grilled to perfection by your very
own private chef.
CORFU
Spend the morning swimming the crystal-clear waters around
Corfu. If you like what you see, head out for a scuba dive to

by the majestic glaciers of Norway’s fjords; and the quaint and
friendly fishing villages of Finland. Many arrive expecting new
experiences and leave overwhelmed by the impression of Mother
Nature at its best.
Beyond the loveliness of Northern Europe’s charismatic seaside
retreats and shores lies a series of bustling cosmopolitan cities.
Appreciate the medieval charm of the World Heritage-listed Tallinn
or the vibrant night-time vibes of vivacious Riga; the cutting-edge
urban architecture of contemporary Oslo or the modern dining
of fashionable Copenhagen. Learn at one of Gdansk intriguing
museums or simply celebrate the world-class venues in Stockholm.
Spend a day exploring the couture stores of London or the quaint
boutiques of Kiel for that distinctive fashion item. Then there
are icons: Moscow’s Red Square, Amsterdam’s canals, Edinburgh’s
Royal Mile, Saint Petersburg’s Winter Palace, London’s Big Ben
and Malbork’s medieval castle. Despite its growing popularity,

NORDIC CHARTER
When the snow and ice start
to melt, take a Feadship through the
newly accessible ocean passages for a once-ina-lifetime journey. Kayak between majestic icebergs
around the tiny community of Fogo Island; climb a
pre-historical glacier in a distant Norwegian fjord; don a
dry suit for an invigorating cold-water dive off the coast of
iceland; or admire the communities of seals, sea lions and
walrus in the Gulf of Alaska. For a remarkable escapade,
take your Feadship all the way through the inside
passage, up to the ice-cold waters of the Barents Sea
or between the floating ice plates of Antarctica.
The spectacular panoramas make it well
worth braving the chilly
conditions.

ASIA CHARTER
Exotic and intriguing, Asia invites visitors with its spiritual temples,
world-class beaches, captivating wildlife and mesmerising cuisine.
Entwined by shared history and drawing on worldwide influences,
Asia’s spirit remains strong, warm and welcoming. From Hong
Kong’s commercial authority to Manila’s newfound luxury, from
Tokyo’s futuristic lifestyle to Singapore’s tiger economy, Asia is a
showstopper with a cultural and historical legacy. If exploration
is what you are seeking, submit to the unique charm of Asia from
the comfort of a Feadship charter.
Ancient wonders and fascinating adventures abound on an
Asian charter: climb the Great Wall of China, Beijing’s mustsee architectural marvel; kayak or scuba dive next to an amazing
seascape of mystical limestone islets in Ha Long Bay; or explore
an untouched jungle filled with rare and endangered species in
the Philippines. Interact with baby elephants at the Kuala Gandah
Elephant Orphanage Sanctuary in Malaysia. Visit a series of hill
tribe villages to partake in cultural rituals in Indonesia. Conquer
Adam’s Peak, a Sri Lankan summit, for an unforgettable panorama;
or plunge under the sea in Krabi for a moment of peaceful serenity.
For an evening out on the town, survey Shenzhen’s commanding
skyline through a raised cocktail glass; spend a few dimes in one
of Macau’s notorious casinos; partake in an enthralling full moon
party in Koh Pha Ngan; or drive by tigers, elephants, anteaters
and lions on a night safari at Singapore Zoo. Asia’s sights are
legendary.
Usually presented in an enjoyable mix of small dishes, Asian
cuisine is embraced throughout the world. When tasted onsite,
however, you should expect a completely new experience. The
dishes are spicier, the sauces more exotic and the ingredients
more daring. To truly immerse yourself in Asian culture, build
your charter itinerary around regional specialities such as Hong
Kong’s birds’ nest soup, Tokyo’s chicken cartilage or Manila’s
fertilized duck eggs. Compare the contrasting taste between a red
curry in Bangkok from one in Mumbai; or notice how the Japanese
prefer their seafood raw while the Vietnamese choose to serve it
dried. When chartering a Feadship in Asia, prepare yourself for a
gastronomical adventure like no other.

MALAYSIAN
BORNEO
Bak
Hosting some of the most diverse wildlife on the planet, Malaysian
Borneo offers an intoxicating blend of lush rainforests, large
river systems and protected mangrove swamps. The majority of
the region is unspoiled and one could literally spend a lifetime
exploring its many treasures. Appreciate the rich cultural heritage
of the Malays, Chinese, Indians and indigenous groups that
have made the island their own; explore the numerous wildlife
sanctuaries where scientists work hard to preserve endangered
species in their natural habitats; or simply enjoy a swim off one
of the region’s many secluded beaches. In Malaysian Borneo,
orangutans, rhinoceros and sun bears make for a truly unique
Feadship charter experience.

SEVEN EXOTIC OUTINGS ON BORNEO
KUCHING
Greet your Feadship in exotic Kuching, Borneo’s most sophisticated city. After a short ride to the Matang Wildlife Centre,
meet Aman, one of the largest male orangutans in the world.
TALAND-SATANG NATIONAL PARK
Enjoy a morning sail to the Taland-Satang National Park, four
small islands surrounded by pristine waters that host sea turtles.
Visit the turtle conservation and hatchery area; then snorkel in
the beautiful shallow reefs to witness an abundance of colourful
marine life.
SIMILAJAU NATIONAL PARK
Anchor off the coast of the Similajau National Park, a narrow,
30km long strip of golden-sand beach adjacent to mangroves,
kerangas and mixed dipterocarp forests. As you enjoy the
afternoon sun, keep an eye out for Irrawaddy dolphins, green
turtles or the resident saltwater crocodiles.
ULU TEMBURONG NATIONAL PARK
Located at the epicentre of 500-sq-km of pristine rainforest in
Brunei, the Ulu Tembrurong National Park is the perfect place to
take a refreshing dip in an unspoiled waterfall. Notice the tiny fish
nibbling on your feet as they give you a gentle pedicure.
LOK KAWI WILDLIFE PARK
After an early morning feast aboard your Feadship, head to Lok
Kawi Wildlife Park for a unique opportunity to encounter some
of the most elusive and endangered wildlife species, such as
Sumatran rhinos, tarsiers and orangutans.
LABUK BAY PROBOSCIS MONKEY SANCTUARY
For a rare sight in an unusual setting, spend a day at the Labuk Bay
Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary. Get close to a group of proboscis
monkeys, commonly nicknamed ‘Dutch monkeys’ sporting
protruding noses, red faces and large bellies, for a once-in-alifetime photo opportunity.
SEPILOK ORANGUTAN SANCTUARY
Before leaving your Feadship behind, discover the Sepilok
Orangutan Sanctuary, one of only four such places in the world.
Learn how orphaned and injured orangutans are rehabilitated and
returned to forest life.
122
123 The seven senses of chartering a Feadship
WILDLIFE CHARTER
There is still a sizable amount
of true untamed wilderness to explore
throughout the world. Learn about the
conservation efforts designed to protect endangered
species such as the black rhino, mountain gorilla,
Sumatran tiger or African elephant on your next adventure.
Watch a mother orangutan split open a coconut to feed
her hungry baby in exotic Malaysia; release sea turtles on a
beach in eco-friendly Costa Rica; swim with a whale shark
in the isolated Seychelles; or take an airboat ride to
find alligators in the protected Everglades National
Park. For amazing wildlife encounters, charter a
Feadship to some of the most fascinating
and sometimes remote locations
on the planet.

As a sultry kaleidoscope of cultures, crafts and cuisines, Indonesia
might be the least homogenous nation in the world. Note the
current state of cultural fusion where rituals come together
from within a multitude of faith systems, including Hinduism,
Confucianism, Islam, Buddhism and Christianity. Nonetheless, a
few tribal nations remain true to their traditional way of life; where
men hunt untamed pigs and women gather wild fruits. Meet the
Mentawai people in West Sumatra; dine with the Asmat people in
Papua; or partake in a dancing ritual with the Dani people in the
central highlands of western New Guinea. Indonesia might be the
greatest cultural adventure of all. Discover its diversity on your
next Feadship charter.

SEVEN UNIQUE INDONESIAN DELIGHTS
SURABAYA
Admire the luxurious lines of your elegant Feadship in bustling
Surabaya. Take time to explore the historic Arab quarter, a maze
leading to a lovely mosque, and effervescent Chinatown for a
dumpling tasting session. Surabaya is simply awesome.
MADURA
After a short morning sail, join the “cowboys” of Indonesia for
a traditional bull racing event. Take a snapshot of a Madurese
jockey roaring along a 100-metre sprint course.
BALI
Evoking a tropical paradise, the essence of Bali exudes generosity
and warmth. Take a bike ride along the verdant rice fields [1], then
dance around the grounds of a temple at sunset.
LOMBOK
Visit Bayan, the most ancient Sasak village nestled at the foot
of mighty Gunung Rinjani, Indonesia’s second highest volcano.

Watch musicians play on single large drums then assume dramatic
poses pretending to confront each other in the local kendang
belek dancing ritual.
SUMBAWA
Rise early to hit the exotic Pasar Seketeng market in Sumbawa
Besar. Barter for chilli and turmeric spices, and then return to
your Feadship for a feast of fresh seafood.
KOMODO ISLAND
Visit Komodo Island, a dramatic volcanic island adorned with
white sandy beaches and rugged hillsides of dry savannah. The
area hosts over 5,700 giant Komodo lizards, a species that exists
nowhere else in the world.
SUMBA
Spend a day visiting hilltop villages with thatched tribal houses.
Learn about the sacrificial rituals performed in homage to the
indigenous Marapu.

CULTURAL CHARTER
Despite living in urban settings rife
with conspicuous consumption, we often
dream of a simpler way of life; a life filled with
deep-rooted traditions and myriad daily encounters.
On your next Feadship charter, explore faraway cultures
for a taste of what life could be. Wander through an aromatic
floating market filled with fruit pyramids and heaps of fresh
fish in the Mekong Delta; spend a day exploring the streets of a
Kuna village set in the San Blas Islands; watch a water buffalo
race to commemorate the beginning of the rice planting
season in Indonesia; or observe an okuyi, a typical Bantu
tribal ceremony, in either Gabon or Cameroon.
If cultural exploration is your scene, charter
a Feadship to visit the most
interesting nations.

SOUTH PACIFIC

SOUTH PACIFIC CHARTER
A series of dots spread across the world’s biggest ocean, the
South Pacific Islands are as diverse as the region is vast. Compare
tiny Tuvalu to uber-chic Bora Bora or romantic Mo’orea; measure
up adventure-filled New Zealand to urbanised Australia; or
experience the contrast between the mountain hills of Ovalau
and the flat atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago. On your next
Feadship charter, discover how each island nation shows off its
distinctive flair, eye-catching panoramas and impeccable crystal
waters in its own unique way.
With latitudes to cover all tastes, the South Pacific invites you
to discard your watch in preparation for ‘island time’ and spend
a lazy day on one of its many beaches. Listen to the sound of
crashing waves while sipping coconut milk in dazzling Rarotonga;
pamper yourself with an oceanfront massage in luxurious Maui;
take pleasure in an afternoon snorkel in the plankton-rich waters
around Waiheke Island; or read your favourite magazine on your
own private atoll in Micronesia. Take things slow and experience
the South Pacific’s cool island elegance.
The beaches – as exquisite as they are – are only a small fraction of
what the South Pacific has to offer you. Dive one of the hundreds
of WWII ships, aircraft and even submarines littering the ocean
floor of the Solomon Islands while huge manta rays swim gracefully
nearby. Hop on a helicopter to admire the lovely turquoise lagoon
of Aitutaki, the ice-carved fjords of New Zealand’s South Island

the rapid hip movements of Tahitian dancers in Honolulu; or put
another shrimp on the barbie in lively Sydney. A Feadship charter
in the South Pacific will enchant you with its kaleidoscope of
colours, flavours and cultural experiences.

Stretching over 2,300 kilometres, covering some 350,000 square
kilometres and unifying over 2,000 reefs, the Great Barrier Reef
is Australia’s pride and joy. As the largest spread of living coral in
the world, you could spend ages exploring its gardens, pinnacles,
channels, gutters and caves. Australia’s shoreline attracts avid
sailors with its small laid-back surfing villages, avant-garde cities
filled with culturally rich sightseeing opportunities and golden

SEVEN THRILLING DIVE LOCATIONS IN AUSTRALIA
ARLIE BEACH
Start your Feadship adventure in Arlie Beach, a small seaside
community with a cosy bohemian charm. Bask in the sun as you
sail out to Drop Zone; then let the current drift you away while
you scan for resident turtles.
WHITEHAVEN BEACH, WHITSUNDAY ISLAND
Often voted one of the most attractive beaches in the world,
Whitehaven Beach is a vision of perfection. Its swirling white silica
sands washed by a sea of turquoise, blue, green and azure waters
create striking patterns to enhance your relaxation levels further.
BAIT REEF, GREAT BARRIER REEF
Boasting underwater caverns, dramatic swim-throughs and
luminous coral gardens, Bait Reef is a haven for manta rays and
sea turtles. Snorkel in its shallow gardens; or dive down toward its
Stepping Stones – a series of 18 flat-topped coral pinnacles with
canyons and walls to explore.
HARDY REEF, GREAT BARRIER REEF
Home to an abundance of marine life, such as sergeant majors, tusk
fish, fusiliers, surgeon fish, giant Maori wrasse, reef sharks and sea
turtles, Hardy Reef’s shallow lagoon is surrounded by a 60-metredeep reef wall which is perfect for underwater exploration.
NET REEF, GREAT BARRIER REEF
After an invigorating morning sail, meet a friendly family of
groupers at Groupers Grotto or take pictures of a pod of delightful
dolphins around the southeast wall of Net Reef. Return to your
Feadship for a typical Australian BBQ feast of perfectly grilled
meats and fish.
WHEELER REEF, GREAT BARRIER REEF
Sunbathe on the sun deck of your Feadship as you navigate to
Wheeler Reef, a platform reef located at the edge of a continental
shelf drop-off. If you like the dark, dive under after sunset to see
the reef awaken at night.
SS YONGALA WRECK
Dive off your Feadship to explore the well-preserved 110-metre
long SS Yongala, arguably one of the best wreck dive sites in the
world. Take in the subaquatic lifestyle of its resident giant groupers,
eagle rays, sea snakes, queenfish, clownfish and barracudas.

Any time winter takes over the Northern Hemisphere, charter a
Feadship in New Zealand for some summertime adventure. As a
truly unique cruising destination, New Zealand sparkles with its
cobalt blue seas, pristine silver beaches and never ending subtropical
forests. Its unique landscape of mountain peaks, rushing rivers,
and peppered offshore islands creates the perfect setting for
out-door activities such as hiking, climbing, mountain biking,
kayaking and diving. If you love an adrenaline rush, take a
helicopter ride over spectacular ice pinnacles to Fox Glacier;
go white water sledging in Queenstown; or dive the stalactite
and stalagmite-filled chambers at Riwaka Caverns. Chartering a
Feadship in New Zealand waters promises adventure at every turn.

SEVEN FLAWLESS SNAPSHOTS OF NEW ZEALAND
AUCKLAND
Before boarding your Feadship in Auckland, take in the spectacular
views of the city from the edge of the Sky Tower’s pergola. If you
are a true daredevil, base-jump by wire off its 192-metre platform.
The buzz is unbelievable.
WAIHEKE ISLAND
Enjoy a morning flyover above the inner Hauraki Gulf Islands
of Rangitoto, Motutapu and Central Auckland; then fly across a
valley via the safety of a zip line followed by an eco-immersive
forest walk on Waiheke Island.
BAY OF ISLANDS
Embark on a sea kayak voyage around the Bay of Islands, a stunning
subtropical water sport playground with an abundance of wildlife
including penguins, dolphins, marlin, whales, gannets and more.

of Great Barrier Island. After a healthy lunch aboard your Feadship,
hike up one of the island’s many peaks for a unique panorama.
KAWAU ISLAND

Gulf, one of New Zealand’s best-kept secrets. Stumble upon
dozens of sheltered beaches, wonderful wildlife reserves and
dramatic landscapes.
WHANGAPARAOA ISLAND
Take a morning swim with a pod of orcas or dolphins around
Whangaparaoa Island, then feel your heart skip as you drop
12,000 feet in a tandem skydiving jump.

land to bring the unexpected to life. Anticipate
the rush, exhilarate your senses and take in
the moments of heightened discovery as you try
something exciting and new for the very first time. Take
a leap of faith off a 233-metre soaring tower in Macau;
dive among a shiver of great white sharks in Gansbaai;
climb a towering mountain off the coast of Japan; or
simply dive off your Feadship in the middle of the
Adriatic Sea. Life aboard a Feadship can be
