New Caledonia has always had great appeal for our New Zealand and Australian clients, most of whom are just a 3-hour flight from being on a boat in the tropics and escaping winter. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing political situation there, the longstanding yacht charter base will be closing at the end of 2026. It will be sadly missed.
What truly defines a great sailing holiday experience is how well the charter is planned and structured around what you want from your time on the water.Nowhere is this more evident than in the Society Islands of French Polynesia, a sailing holiday destination we at Sail Connections know so well.
