Crewed yacht charter in French Polynesia

French Polynesia as a charter destination

French Polynesia is spread across an area of ocean the size of Western Europe, and within it the Society Islands lie so close together that a week is enough: Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora. The islands are volcanic in origin, rise to over 2,000 metres and are covered with tropical forest right up to the ridge. In front of them lie reefs and lagoons in a turquoise that looks unreal in photographs.

Below the surface it continues: sea turtles, dolphins, rays, reef sharks and shoals in every colour. Raiatea is regarded as the cultural heart of Polynesia, Tahaa grows a large part of the country's vanilla, and black pearls are farmed in its lagoon, and Huahine is the quietest of the islands, lying behind a sheltering reef.

For a charter that means short hops between the islands, sheltered lagoons to anchor in and itineraries that manage without long passages at sea. Catamarans are particularly popular here because they sit shallow in the water and reach the lagoons.

Prices on request. The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) covers fuel, harbour fees and provisions. It is paid in advance and settled at the end of the charter, and anything left over is refunded to you.
