Background
Leone Lesinawai, who played Willyum in the series, was the owner of the Seaspray ship that was featured in the series. He leased the boat to the filming company and got the supporting part of Willyum. The Seaspray was located near Nadi (Fiji Islands) and was used for tourist cruises to neighbouring islands.[3] According to South Sea Cruises (formerly Seaspray Cruises), the Seaspray is no longer active.
