The Nikoi launch is a solid custom built 48ft wooden boat, powered by a 350hp engine. It was built for us in 2004 using local timbers by a traditional boat builder based on a design adapted from local fishing boats. It has an experienced crew and is equipped with life vests, VHF radio and navigation equipment. In addition, we have a speed boat capable of reaching the island in 10 minutes that is suitable for smaller groups and trips to other islands.
