After three sold-out Mediterranean seasons and a relocation from Cannes to Cairns, Morris Nautical’s 41-metre Benetti Oasis is setting its sights on new destinations in the South Pacific.
From April 2026, M.Y Northern Escape will begin an exclusive charter season across Fiji, followed by French Polynesia, expanding into some of the world’s most coveted cruising grounds.
The custom-built Benetti Oasis, delivered in 2022, will depart Australian waters for a carefully curated South Pacific season designed for those seeking adventure, privacy and cultural connection.
From remote atolls and reef systems throughout Fiji, to the cinematic lagoons of Bora Bora, M.Y Northern Escape is purpose built to discover the South Pacific at its most extraordinary. Morris Nautical’s bespoke five-to-ten-night itineraries focus on scuba diving and snorkelling, placing guests in some of the South Pacific’s most spectacular and seldom visited sites. Led by an expert crew, chartering M.Y Northern Escape in the South Pacific will be as much about exploration as luxury.
Sam Aldred, CEO of Morris Nautical and Captain of M.Y. Northern Escape, describes the move as a natural evolution for the brand.
“The South Pacific offers an entirely different environment to explore, with more remote anchorages and dive sites accessible only by yacht. Many of our returning charter clients have now experienced M.Y Northern Escape on the Great Barrier Reef and the Mediterranean. Now, we’re inviting them to discover the South Pacific privately and entirely on their own itinerary.”
Beyond the yacht, the itineraries extend ashore through immersive cultural experiences, islands and natural wonders. Guests may be welcomed into remote island villages or share in locally guided explorations of sacred sites throughout the islands, making a visit to the South Pacific go beyond the yacht experience.
M.Y Northern Escape is available for charter in Fiji from April 2026, and French Polynesia from July – October 2026.
