About Us
Having chartered extensively around Fiji, the Kiwi owner of Safari Charters, Steele Jones, a keen surfer, sailor and all round waterman, has chosen Fiji as his home with his wife Rachael and children, Max and Stella.
Steele has always been a man of the ocean and the surf has been a huge influence on the decisions he has made in his life.
He returned to NZ after backpacking and surfing around the globe to work for the family pharmaceutical company based in Auckland. Steele’s job enabled him to travel to the Pacific Islands for regular business trips.
So with surfboard in one hand and briefcase in the other, taking care of business was quickly done and Steele managed to find time in between business meetings for quality waves in Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Guam, and Hawaii.
The call of the tropics was too much for Steele so in 2005, he immigrated to Fiji with his family.
In 2008, Steele embarked on the journey of his life. He resigned from the pharmaceutical business, said goodbye to the corporate life and purchased a sailing boat in the Caribbean.
With keen sailors on board they sailed the 8000 nautical mile passage to bring “Stellar” to her new home in the Fiji Islands where she is now based.
The journey still continues and would love you to be a part of our story. Choose to go surfing, sailing, or honeymooning in the Fiji Islands. We allow you to be part of creating your holiday of a life-time.

My Family (Myself, Husband and 3 adventurous Kids) joined Steele, Sailor and Irone on Stellar for 8 blissful/active days of sailing with Safari Charters in April.
Notwithstanding the... read more beauty Fiji’s islands offers, Steele and the guys certainly helped us enjoy the best Fiji has to offer. The level of service on and off the boat was exceptional. Steele, Sailor and Irone made life very comfortable. Nothing was ever too much trouble…and they were especially wonderful with my kids, who loved every minute of the trip.
My boys got their fishing fix en-route between islands, we got to experience wonderful swimming and snorkelling with Sailor as our guide, and fantastic food with Irone as our chef.
We left feeling very relaxed and definitely feeling like we’d got our money’s worth. We can’t recommend Fiji Safari highly enough.
Thanks Steele…we sincerely hope to see you, Sailor and Irone again.

Meals were fantastic cooked by an experianced chef.
I highly recomend Steel, Stelar and his team to give you an excelent fijian experience. One of the best surf trips i have ever been on.
1/06/2020Very happy to write a review for Safari Charters Fiji now they are on Trip Advisor. My boyfriend and I did a 4 day charter a few years ago and... read more it was truly amazing! Such a treat to see the Fiji Islands in this way and can't be compared to land travel there! Everything was catered for so we didn't have to think about anything. Food and cocktails were very tasty with a nice mix of island flavours, and good serving sizes. We cruised around the islands, swam ashore (or we were taken ashore on the Tender) to cool small islands and even a sand bar. Snorkeled, swam, and did some nice sailing on the last day, plus we even got a morning of surfing in. We were able to dictate what we did each day depending on what we felt like and the weather, so very nice for us! Stayed the evenings anchored offshore at various islands and could go ashore to explore. We felt super safe and well cared for by Steele and his crew-member, which is an important aspect for me when choosing trips like this and a motivating reason to share a review. We can't recommend our experience with Safari Charters highly enough.. we will be back!

Fiji safaris is the absolute best. Steele and crew( Eroni and Eliza) will make your Fiji on board vacation be it surfing Cloudbreak, diving or cruising the best and most... read more relaxing ever. I’m from east coast US and been going over and surfing with Steele for over a half decade and sometimes twice a year. Best food, very comfortable and great areas to cruise and surf and snorkel. Whatever you want to do, Steele will accomplish. Eroni and Eliza will cook some of the best food you’ve ever eaten. Five stars all day
