The popular French Polynesian charter yacht, Askari has had a beautiful interior refit and is looking as modern and fresh as ever! There has been a shortage of good quality photography to give a true representation of this beautiful motor yacht. But now with some great new images of the modernized interior she can be represented to clients in her true light. Selections of the new pictures are up on MYBA net.

MY Askari is a popular vessel for charters in French Polynesia. The Sermons built Askari is perfect for remote island adventures and comfortable cruising. She specialises in dive charters in the Tuamotu Islands.

A versatile 33 metre expedition style motor yacht, she is safe, spacious, and with all mod.cons. Askari specialises in dive charters, and frequently takes charters in the world renowned Tuamotu archipelago. Askari’s crew includes a professional dive instructor.

As well as dive equipment, Askari has gear for kayaking, laser sailing, kite surfing, waterskiing and sail boarding. Two tenders on board are great for watersports and exploring ashore. French Polynesia offers excellent conditions and idyllic locations for all kinds of adventures on and under the water.

On land, the gorgeous scenery, fauna and flora are just the beginning. Dance, music, art, markets and much more come together in a vibrant and fascinating culture with a mix of French, Polynesian and other influences.

Visitors also enjoy tasting local edible delights ashore or aboard. Askari has relaxed dining on the deck, and a formal dining space inside.

Finally, at the end of a perfect day, MY Askari sleeps ten in five luxurious cabins, all with ensuites.
