Suri is a 63.39 m motor yacht built by Halter Marine in 1978 (refitted 2023), for 12 guests in 7 cabins with 22 crew. Charter from US$350,000 per week in summer (Fiji & Micronesia and French Polynesia); in winter from US$350,000 (Fiji & Micronesia, French Polynesia and New Zealand), plus expenses.
A 1978 offshore supply ship turned 63-metre explorer, with a helicopter, a glass floor in the saloon and an on-board dive school, now cruising the South Pacific all year.
SuRi started out in 1978 as a workboat: Halter Marine built her in the United States to support offshore operations. In 2007 she was turned into a private expedition yacht, a later refit added a sky lounge and reworked the interiors, and her most recent yard period dates from 2023. Her working-ship roots are her strength: a steel hull with enormous tanks, a range of several thousand miles, and deck space for equipment that most yachts of 60 metres simply cannot carry.
What she carries is closer to a small expedition base than a toy box. There is a helideck and a helicopter flown by the yacht's own pilot, a team of PADI professionals with a compressor so that beginners can learn and experienced divers can go further, and five tenders led by a nine-metre Stan-Craft. Slides, surfboards and jet skis fill the rest of the day, and a crew of 22 keeps it all running.
One detail inside says a lot about her: in the main saloon, panes of glass let into the floor reveal the sea passing under the keel. The whole upper deck belongs to the owner's suite, which has a private office and a bathroom for each partner; four VIP suites and two cabins that switch between double and twin complete the space for twelve.
She no longer leaves the South Pacific. Fiji and French Polynesia are her home waters, and her winter programme adds New Zealand and Tonga. That is reef, lagoon and outer-island country, where a yacht that can stay self-sufficient for weeks and fly guests to a distant beach changes what a holiday can be.
SuRi suits adventurous families and groups of friends who think of the yacht as base camp and want to dive, surf and fly. Anyone who chooses a yacht for sleek lines, a designer interior or a lively harbour scene should look elsewhere: she trades glamour for capability.
