As I type this, I am listening to the sweet sounds of “The Surprise Band,” an audio CD that the crew onboard the motoryacht Surprise put together as a keepsake for guests to take home with them after charters in and around Fiji. I have been lucky enough to snag one of the first copies. Score!

I feel like I’m at a luau–which is exactly how I felt back in in 2004 when I did a charter feature onboard this yacht. I remember them making beautiful music on the aft deck at sunset while all of us guests drank the local kava (or any cocktail of choice). Sometimes, the crew even brought their instruments ashore to entertain us. The scene looked like this when Capt. Carol Dunlop and chief steward Mosese Marawai got rocking around the barbecue pit one night:

I’ve never before heard of a charter yacht crew making an audio CD of their music for guests to take home. What a creative idea–not to mention continuing proof that Capt. Carol and her crew are always looking to improve the charter vacation they offer onboard their beautiful 115-foot motoryacht.

Surprise is part of the fleet at Fraser Yachts Worldwide. Learn more about getting in tune with their South Pacific rhythm from any reputable charter broker.
