VivieRae II: An Explorer Yacht for Far-Reaching Charters
VivieRae II is a 29-metre explorer yacht designed for reaching places far beyond conventional cruising routes. Her near-continuous programme of exploration has taken her from Asia across the South Pacific, through the Caribbean and onward to destinations including New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Palau, Chuuk Lagoon, the Marshall Islands, Hawaii, the Galápagos, Vanuatu and the Mediterranean.
As part of Yacht Cloud’s portfolio, VivieRae II offers an opportunity to experience long-distance cruising aboard a yacht built around serious passagemaking and extended time at sea.
Worldwide Cruising and Remote Destinations
VivieRae II is suited to itineraries where the journey is as important as the destination. Her cruising history includes the Tuamotu Archipelago, where diving among atolls revealed exceptional marine life, and Chuuk Lagoon, known for wartime wrecks located at depths of approximately 60 to 200 feet.
In Vanuatu, the yacht reached a remote community accessible by tender, creating an opportunity to experience local traditions and welcoming ceremonies. Other memorable destinations include Raja Ampat, where whale sharks were encountered, the Maldives, where giant manta rays were seen, and the Galápagos, with sea lions, giant tortoises, penguins and red- and blue-footed boobies.
Long-Range Capability
With an approximate range of 4,000 to 4,500 nautical miles depending on speed, VivieRae II can support ambitious passages between widely separated cruising grounds. This capability makes her particularly appropriate for guests seeking remote anchorages, wildlife encounters, diving destinations and a more exploratory style of yacht charter.
