Why Vaka Sailing

Built for real sailors

Polynesian Design

The Wharram Tiki 38 is built on traditional Polynesian double-canoe principles — light, fast, seaworthy. A sail that's actually felt, not just observed from a sunbed.

Shallow Draft Access

At just 0.9m draft she gets into anchorages conventional cats can't touch — pristine beaches, hidden lagoons, places where the big charter fleets simply don't go.

No Crew, No Schedule

Bareboat means your trip, your pace, your route. Sleep when you want, stay where you want, fish when the line goes taut.

What sailors say

★★★★★

"The Tiki 38 is everything we hoped for. Real sailing, real adventure — not the packaged tour experience we'd had before. The trampoline at sunset was something else."

Marc & Sophie D.
France · 7-day passage
★★★★★

"As someone who'd been thinking about building a Wharram for years, this charter made up our minds. Three days on her was worth more than three years of forum research."

James T.
Australia · 3-day charter
★★★★★

"Phang Nga Bay from the cockpit of a Wharram is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I've seen. The anchorages we reached — no other boat was there."
