About BIG SKY
Following a multi-million dollar refit including lloyds class survey and engines rebuilt, the 48m BIG SKY has been reinvented for the charter market and better than ever. With a completely reimagined interior and all-new exterior soft furnishings, BIG SKY delivers the feel and function of a much larger yacht — offering guests a stylish, spacious, and highly liveable escape on the water.
Her recent transformation includes a complete interior overhaul bringing a fresh, contemporary style that effortlessly balances relaxed elegance with refined comfort. From bespoke furnishings to luxurious textures and state-of-the-art finishes, every detail has been reimagined to offer an unparalleled onboard experience. Her full-beam main saloon rivals that of a 60-metre yacht, providing an expansive, light-filled space to relax, socialise, or entertain in comfort. The main deck also features a generous full-beam master suite with panoramic views, a private office, and a spacious ensuite — a luxurious haven for primary charter guests.
Below deck, BIG SKY offers four beautifully appointed ensuited guest cabins, including two queen staterooms, a double with pullman option, and a versatile queen-to-twin convertible cabin — ideal for families or mixed groups.
Outside, BIG SKY’s deck spaces are made for alfresco living. Lounge under the sun on all-new soft furnishings, dine under the stars, or soak in the Jacuzzi with panoramic views with the newly built custom bar area — every moment on board is designed to be effortlessly enjoyable.
With one of the most experienced crews in the region, a full suite of water toys, and flexible deck spaces for every mood, BIG SKY offers an elevated charter experience in some of the world’s most breathtaking cruising grounds.

Sophie grew up in Liverpool, UK — the legendary home of The Beatles — so it’s no surprise she’ll happily burst into song at any given moment. With a family full of performers, her love for musicals was inevitable. Her family would say she could sing before she could talk, and she’s always loved entertaining people — whether that’s through themed parties, creative cocktails, or simply a good chat.
Before life at sea, Sophie was a qualified hairdresser with over 10 years of experience. But five years ago, she swapped her scissors for the sea and hasn’t looked back since.
Today, she channels her creativity into crafting inventive cocktails, designing elaborate table decorations, and throwing unforgettable parties. Whether it’s a relaxed sunset drink or a full-blown celebration, Sophie loves making every moment extra special and creating experiences guests will never forget.

Stefano comes from Cape Town, where the wind and waves of the Cape of Good Hope naturally led him to a life near and on the water. After years of lifeguarding and hobby sailing through his teenage years, he qualified and worked as a dive guide for 2 years, before being brought into a sailboat delivery which quickly cemented his passion for yachting and offshore cruising. Stefano has been in the industry for 5 years. Stefano finds fulfilment and growth through being the best bosun possible, always striving to create a healthy, dynamic and efficient environment on deck. When not running the deck, Stefano finds himself spending his time surfing, playing guitar, learning languages and studying for his officer’s ticket.

Captain Brett hails from the sunny shores of Gold Coast, Australia. With its golden sand beaches, world class surf and winding waterways, there was no doubt that Brett would master all water sports and eventually become the captain he is today.
As a natural leader he excelled as a sailing, waterskiing and wakeboarding instructor. This lead to him becoming a water sports manager at a 5-star hotel in the Whitsundays on the Great Barrier Reef. As his love for the water progressed so did his interest in boats which lead to him becoming a super yacht captain. He now has over 28 years of experience working on 30 – 80 meter yachts all over the world.
Brett joined Big Sky in the beautiful South Pacific. The amazing waters and picturesque cruising enables him to continue his quest of making guests’ holiday dreams become a reality.
When he is not aboard Big Sky, Brett returns home to his family in the hinterland region of the Gold Coast, to spend time with his young family, going boating on the same waters he grew up on, walking the golden beaches, and making sandcastles with his boys. He loves adventure novels, vintage and muscle cars and the simplicity of cutting the grass paddocks on his ride on mower.
