After a two year hiatus, the much loved Island Cruising Pacific Circuit Rally is back!

Join us in May as we set sail from New Zealand to Fiji, stopping at the Minerva Reefs along the way.

Take your time to explore some of the 333 idyllic Islands that Fiji has to offer at your own pace. Enjoy spectacular sailing, incredible diving and fabulous Fijian hospitality.

We help you get prepared for the voyage ahead, with weekly workshops to step you through the Cat 1 Safety Regulations, and accessing some great deals and information on quality marine products from our rally sponsors.

Our detailed rally pack includes information about all the best places to visit, cultural considerations, tips on local rules and regulations, navigation, weather, tides, health, and where to go for repairs and assistance. We are there to help if things don't go to plan. Cruise in company with fellow rally participants, or do your own thing, the choice is yours.

If the New Caledonia & Vanuatu borders open, there will be an optional add-on to visit these exciting destinations too.

From Fiji or New Caledonia we will return home to New Zealand in October or alternatively you can join our friends at Down Under Rally and sail to Australia.

Registrations are now open! Visit here for all the details.
