BABAC | 2018

Best for: families and friend groups of up to eight, with couples travelling together a close second.

Babac is a 2018 Lagoon catamaran sailing Fiji's islands with a three-person crew: Captain Ish Alexander, whose 12 years captaining charter vessels in the Caribbean now transfers to the South Pacific, and Stewardess Anais Moyen, raised in Tahiti and bringing four years of sole-stewardess service to every guest interaction. That combination of deep sailing experience and high-level hospitality sets the tone aboard.

Four cabins sleep eight guests comfortably: a master cabin, two double cabins, and a fourth that converts from a double into two singles, giving groups flexibility on how they share the space. Fiji's protected waters and reef passages are Babac's natural playground. On quieter days, a floating inflatable pool and individual floating chairs let guests settle into the water without going anywhere at all. Three reviews may be modest in number, but the boat is crewed, ready, and pointed at one of the world's most rewarding sailing destinations.
