Welcome to 'Jocara', a blue-water cruising yacht...
NEWS! Jocara is now available for charter in Tonga!
Jocara is now in New Zealand, preparing to move up to the Kingdom of Tonga to begin chartering in the Vava'u island group, an idyllic collection of beautiful tropical islands frequented by Humpback Whales in the months of July-Oct.
Jocara will be operated by Melinda Sea Adventures, a local professional chartering company who has been operating in Tonga for many years and who has one of the very few whale-watching licences, allowing clients on board to not only view the whales close-up but even perhaps to snorkel with them.
Visit Jocara's chartering site at www.sailtonga.com or email for more information, and we'll look forward to seeing you there!
Jocara's voyages are not only about adventure, but also about research, education and awareness. The Jocara crew are passionate about the environment and use this site to share their experiences, findings and feelings.

Jocara is going to New Zealand! The
big news is that Jocara is now co-owned with the Orams family
(Mark, Renée, Daniel and Brianna) in New Zealand and is
going to be based there. Both families are really excited by this
opportunity and will be sailing her in turn, continuing with her
work in research, exploration and promotion of marine awareness
and conservation. |

See where Jocara is now by clicking on the map! You will need Google Earth (get it free from here) installed in order to view our real-time position and track. If your browser is not already configured to open Google Earth when you click on the map, you may be asked whether you want to save the file (which will be called progress.kml) or choose an application to open it. Open it with Google Earth and the browser should remember how to do this next time. Otherwise save the file and open it manually. Safari may just save it and give you a new blank web page window. |
|
See some photos from Jocara! Some photos from the journey can be downloaded by clicking here. Again, you will need Google Earth to see these photos, marked right at the places they were taken! Just follow the set of instructions above to get your browser to be configured for Google Earth (the file will be called photos-1.kmz). | |
