Meet Big Mama & Ragamuffin 111
​
Big Mama is a beautiful (18 m) ketch rigged yacht. Built in Bloomfield, Far North Queensland. Big Mama is our larger vessel and we offer catering & ideal for everyone! Boarding from the island in the bays can be more challenging so a basic fitness level is needed.
​
Ragamuffin 111 (14m) is a German Frers sloop design, a racing vessel & our smaller vessel. She is one of Syd Fisher's famous vessels named Ragamuffin & she was number 3.
Syd Fisher is described as one of Australia's most successful offshore sailor.
Ragamuffin 111 is a BRING YOUR OWN EVERYTHING option(beverages and nibbles- not catered).
Ragamuffin 111 is suitable for a good fitness level, boarding from the bays on Magnetic Island can be more challenging but Breakwater Marina is easy and the vessel is not suitable for small children 4 years and under, guests with fitness limitations & when safety is a concern.
Both vessels will be available for private charters from either destinations.
