S/Y FENG | 2013

Best for: groups of friends and couples exploring the Australian coast, with families of up to eight a close second.

FENG is a Sunreef 70 catamaran built in 2013 and based in Sydney, offering an unusually generous amount of space for a sailing yacht of this size. The standout is the flybridge: a dedicated upper deck that gives guests a commanding view of the coastline and a genuine second living area above the fray. Below, the main saloon runs wide across the beam with panoramic windows, a dining area for eight, and a fully equipped galley, all finished to a standard that suits guests who want comfort alongside the sailing.

Four cabins accommodate eight guests: a master suite with a king bed and large shower in the port hull, two double cabins in the starboard hull, and a twin cabin aft. All have ensuite bathrooms. A crew of four, including Captain Cameron Tierney, handles everything on deck and in the galley. On the water, a Williams 505 jet tender, two double kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, snorkelling gear, and fishing rods mean there is rarely a reason to stay aboard when an anchorage beckons.
