About this yacht

Operating Area: Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, French Polynesia

Designed and built in Australia by renowned yacht builder, Oceanfast, in 2010, BIG SKY is now returned home for the first time to provide an unrivalled charter experience onboard one of the Southern Hemisphere ‘s largest and more extraordinary yachts.

Her exterior has been meticulously designed to ensure guests experience the Australian al-fresco lifestyle. From the Sun Deck, where the jacuzzi is integrated into a huge sun bed bar and u-shaped lounge, to the undercover dining seating 11 guests on the upper deck aft; every corner of the boat offers space, luxury and comfort. The Main Deck provides a more intimate lounging area while dual staircases lead you to the swim platform where the fun really begins.

BIG SKY runs with a neutral palette throughout, appealing to a wide variety of tastes and styles. Sumptuous linen offers up the best night sleep with accommodation for 11 guests. The huge full-beam Master suite is a sanctuary in its own right thanks to the large windows, deep bath and spacious King bed. The additional staterooms are located on the lower deck and include three VIP cabins with Queen beds and one Triple cabin with Double bed and pullman bunk; all cabins have their own en-suite.

BIG SKY has something for everyone with one of the widest selection of charter toys on any yacht worldwide. She is located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef for optimum exploration of Australia’s stunning beaches and marine life.

APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for BIG SKY before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
