Explore Tahiti with Our Exclusive Yacht Charter Itinerary
French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and crystal-clear waters. Comprising 118 islands and atolls, with 67 inhabited, this paradise is divided into five main archipelagos: the Society Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago, Gambier Islands, Marquesas Islands, and Austral Islands. Tahiti, the largest and most populous island in the Society Islands, offers a gateway to stunning volcanic peaks, coral reefs, and turquoise lagoons.
Chartering a yacht is one of the best ways to explore these enchanting islands. Our Tahiti sailing itinerary focuses on the Society Islands, including Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa, and Bora Bora. These islands, surrounded by coral barrier reefs and high mountains, provide safe and picturesque anchorages.
