Sea Fiji Reefs owns this remarkable vessel called the Sea Venture, a revolutionary and innovative 35 ft glass bottom boat. Designed and manufactured in Europe, it has one of the biggest optical spheroid viewing ports available anywhere. The unique hydrofoil piercing system allows the vessel to literally fly on the surface of the water at speeds up to 40 knots. This is extremely important for people like myself who are prone to seasickness. I’m happy to report that I experienced absolutely no nausea on this excursion.
Our hostess Natalie Marletta chattered this stunning vessel to take us from the Pearl Resort to the ever chic and private Beqa Island for a day of snorkeling, beach combing, and lunch. There were easily a dozen of us onboard, and all of us had one of the most remarkable days on the ocean we’d ever had. On our return voyage back to the Pearl Resort, as the rain started to fall, we were all so happy to enjoy the balmy breeze blowing through our hair as we savored the moody afternoon skies. I felt like a 12 year old having the time of my life, forever changed by the exquisite beauty of this experience.
One of the things about a a vessel like this is that the glass bottom must be protected, therefore, we were ferried to the shores edge by a much smaller boat. It required two trips for all of our passengers, and was so completely fantastic as far as the overall experience.
If you’re visiting Fiji in the near feature, you must consider chartering the Sea Venture. It just might be one of the finest ocean experiences of your life. Thank you again Natalie for making this a magical day for all of us.
