Everything under the Sun on your Tropical Island Adventure
Sailing a charter yacht somewhere in the vast South Pacific Ocean offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, tailored entirely to your preferences.
Whether you prefer the speed and pure sailing pleasure of a monohull yacht or the spacious comfort of a catamaran—ideal for families—and whether you're after a bareboat experience or the ease of a skippered charter, destinations like French Polynesia, Tonga, and New Caledonia offer something for everyone. Spend your sailing holiday drifting through serene blue lagoons or take on the rewarding challenge of reaching iconic spots via short ocean passages.
Further west in Australia, the Whitsundays—a collection of 74 tropical islands, most of them uninhabited—are protected from the open ocean by the outer Great Barrier Reef, one of the world’s natural wonders. These cruising grounds offer an abundance of sheltered anchorages, stunning beaches, and crystal-clear waters rich with marine life.
Or join us in New Zealand’s sub-tropical north. The Bay of Islands and the surrounding coastline offer countless bays where you can unwind after exploring this breathtaking sailing region, located just three hours north of Auckland, New Zealand’s international gateway.
