FRENCH POLYNESIA
Please, take that extra step to paradise and be rewarded many times over by the central jewel in the South Pacific crown. Exploring in French Polynesia, which lies at the very heart of the Pacific Ocean, is the ultimate in romantic yachting and, best of all, there are several excellent luxury French Polynesian yacht charters available.
With 118 volcanic and coral islands spread across the South Pacific, French Polynesia is a glorious destination to visit on board a superyacht. This natural utopia is all about the ocean, so a yacht is the perfect medium for this venue. Glide through beautiful lagoons, take in the magnificent scenery of volcanic peaks and explore quaint villages like Patio. You can also climb mountains for even more spectacular views.
The awesome harbour of Marina Apooiti gives yacht charterers the opportunity to drop anchor to enjoy gourmet restaurants and lively bars. Raiatea is the second largest island in French Polynesia with amazing green valleys full of vanilla and pineapple plantations. Enjoy the splendid waterfalls and tropical lagoons that are full of marine life and coral.
You’ll find some of the world’s best dive sites off the coast of French Polynesia. These must-do scuba dives can be found off the islands of Bora Bora, Tahiti and Moorea to name but a few. The cruising grounds and shores of Tahiti, Raiatea, Tahaa and Fakarava all offer something different, from snorkelling to diving, exploring lagoons on kayaks and sailing dinghies. Sample world-class surf on the stunning beaches like Matira Beach (Bora Bora), Tereia Beach (Maupiti Island), Punaauia Beach (Punaauia) and Nahoe Beach (Hiva Oa).
The all year-round trade winds and mild climate makes French Polynesia a fabulous superyacht charter destination. When sailing in the calm waters of the South Pacific, island-hopping is great fun. Expect plenty of adventure, dramatic volcanic scenery, incredible wild life and a warm welcome from the traditional island communities. The ocean is alive with sea turtles, sharks, dolphins and more than 500 species of fish. Among the coral reefs and stunning lagoons, there is an array of marine life, shipwrecks and drop offs just waiting to be explored.
During your superyacht charter vacation to French Polynesia soak up the atmosphere and discover hidden treasures on the Austral, Marquesas, Society, Tuamotu and Gambier archipelagos. Bora Bora is well worth a visit. Drop anchor in Bora Bora Harbour and explore this fascinating island. It was formed out of the crater of an extinct volcano. With the main island rising from a turquoise lagoon, lots of colourful coral around and low-lying atolls, this island will certainly take your breath away.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Hi Nicolas, Overall, the crew was very good - professional and pleasant. Sporting activities were better organised this year - the guys really knew what they were doing and were doing an outstanding job keeping everyone happy - thats Marc, Billy and Fraser. Great service throughout the trip. I have to mention that we were surprised by the beauty of the islands and Croatia. Since we only went half way, we were thinking of coming back next year and starting further up north. Something to think about. The boat is well maintained. Charter on AUSTRALIS in Croatia.
Dear Nicolas, - Once again, many thanks for arranging this charter. For the boat - great in terms of overall layout - spacious rooms in brand new condition. Lots of space to move around and plenty of space for 10 passengers. Also good space on the deck - especially on the triboard which is well protected from the sun - we spent a lot of time there. Technically in very good condition - great ventilation and stabilisers. No smell of diesel whatsoever - engine room well pressurised and in immaculate condition. Boat was very stable throughout and not noisy during the night passages. Lots of toys on board - all brand new. They will have their own seabobs next yeat (very popular toy for us and especially the kids). Great idea with the slide from the top deck.. The crew definitely made this a fantastic journey - it will be hard to find better. Great service - discreet and nice without being invasive. Always new decorative touches during lunch and dinner. Candles in the evening. We were pleasently surprised because they had a lot of initiative in that sense. Unpacked our bags and hung everything in a tidy manner. Beds always prepared twice a day. Crew very helpful with the toys - we were very demanding in that sense since we wanted everything prepared for the morning - and we required a lot of stuff to be prepared and in the water. Chef is great - always fresh food and great recepies - this boat deserves to be qualified as a michelin star restaurant. Great breakfast and amazing desserts. So overall - great experience. We would also like to thank you for organising the charter and the embarkment which was very efficient and stress free. I realise that you had to coordinate a lot of things at the last minute. We will be getting in touch with you for our future charters. Charter on AUSTRALIS around Naples & Amalfi.
Hi Amanda, We had the most amazing charter, filled our expectations to the fullest; Steph, Cecilia and Dan were excellent. Thank you for your help in organizing such a memorable trip. Chartered LUPA OF LONDON August.
Hi Amanda, I wanted to forward a formal note of thanks regarding our charter of the S/Y Orion last month. We are truly spoiled, had a trip of a lifetime, and dream of the next time! We made fast friends with the crew, who saw to our every need with joy and smiles. And oft wry humor! We relished food from a true artist (who owes me a few recipes!) We enjoyed amazing views of the Amalfi coast, the beautiful islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida. Explored Grottos, piazza’s and named several anchorages after the Capitan or crew/guest, as we saw fit. My children are now ruined bohemians! Destined to ply the seven seas as rogues, trained by the very best! It was a great boat, greater crew, super adventure for a lucky family. Thank you for your personal touch on the business end and we look forward to working with you again, soon. Chartered sailing yacht ORION in Italy, June
