The main salon and dining area comprise a single large space towards the centre and aft of the main deck, brightly illuminated during the day by the large window panels that allow natural light to flood inside. Pale American oak, bamboo flooring and wenge inlays form a bright and natural contemporary environment for guests to gather for coffee mornings, films and relaxation.
The central staircase is enclosed on three sides by oak-covered walls which form the main salon bookcases and separate the dining area for a more personal dining experience between a maximum of 8 guests.
Discover the wonders on the other side of Australia aboard this beautifully styled luxury yacht, constructed by New Zealand builders Alloy Yachts in 2007 and refitted in 2016 to include all new interiors and the exterior styling by Gregory Marshall. M/Y AKIKO won an award for the Best Displacement Motor Yacht of below 500GT (30m to approximately 49.9m) at the World Superyacht Awards 2008, and her on board facilities have been upgraded to keep up to date and future proof.

Near the coastal town of Rockingham you’ll find Penguin Island, home to the largest colony of little penguins on the west coast. You can watch the cute creatures being fed at the Penguin Experience Island Discovery Centre. Visitors can learn more about these magnificent birds through commentaries and displays – or look out for wild penguins nestled in the sand burrows and limestone caverns on the island.
Alternatively you can set sail to other great spots like Quindalup, Dunsborough, Eagle Bay, and Bunker Bay. Whether you’re looking for a short break or an extended holiday there is plenty to do in South Australia. Imagine how unforgettable your sailing holiday will be with 360 degree ocean views.
Get ready to set sail on Western Australia’s incredibly peaceful waterways. Yachting is a popular hobby on the clean and tidy banks of the Swan River, where the calm water and strong sea breezes create ideal conditions. Hire a catamaran on the South Perth foreshore, where you can enjoy the view of the city skyline as a fresh breeze whisks you along the river. Yacht clubs are all across the shoreline from Perth to Fremantle some run sailing competitions during the summer. Get a group together and enjoy a day with some friendly rivalry on the water.
At Surfer’s Point in Margaret River, the surf is always impressive; it provides powerful ground swells and big waves. Margaret River is a firm favourite with the world’s elite pro-surfers. [links]
Luxury cruising in the Kimberley is an experience like no other. Here, you can explore amazing rivers, towering red gorges, beautiful waterfalls and untouched forests all from the comfort of a five-star vessel. Luxury cruisers have their very own heli-pad and accommodate limited guest numbers at any one time.

Get a close-up view of freshwater crocodiles, indulge in native figs and fresh oysters and marvel as you sail through towering gorges.
Beautiful beaches are in abundance in Western Australia. One of the most famous is Broome’s Cable Beach. Renowned as one of most beautiful stretches of coastline on earth, Cable Beach provides azure waters bordered by 22 kilometres of pristine white sands. Monkey Mia in Denham, the beach here features lovely sand surroundings, aquamarine waters, and it is here that wild bottlenose dolphins regularly come ashore to play with tourists and receive an easy feed of fish. Dolphins can often be seen around the jetty, where sunset fishing is a popular pastime. With over 12,000 kilometres of unspoiled coastline, there’s a great beach for everyone. more

Day Four
It’s called Doubtful Bay yet we know exactly where we are, entering the Sale River and its charismatic estuary. Head up the river through rugged and remote Kimberley gorges. Swim in crystal clear pools unspoiled by travellers. Take a stroll or prepare for a hike through breathtaking scenery. Isolated and hidden for millions of years, the unique Australian wildlife rarely disappoints. The coastline and rugged shores are unforgiving, in direct contrast to the luxury enjoyed onboard. It’s an experience hard to beat. here
At the top of Talbot Bay we’ll visit the beautiful Blue Holes hidden at Turtle Reef, before heading across Collier Bay and on to Raft Point. more
Starsand is the only sailing vessel offering charter tours in the Kimberley. Our 65ft yacht is available for private charter and sleeps 10 people, making for a uniquely intimate experience with family or friends. For aspiring sailors, there’s even the chance to keep watch on a night sail. Cabin accommodation is spacious and comfortable, and all snacks and meals are included.
Anchored in the cut, we’ll watch the water cascading off the reef. [links]
A ride in the tender will allow us to spot sea snakes, many turtles and a whole lot of marine life in the crystal clear water. Back on Starsand, we’ll sail on for a swim at Kingfisher Islands, where we’ll anchor overnight. [links]
