Explore the South Pacific Paradise on a Luxury Charter Yacht

Luxury Charter Group have been fortunate to spend considerable time in this beautiful and charming area. Here we share some of our highlights, any of which would make the perfect destination for your next luxury yacht charter.... and the one after that!

Now is the perfect time to relax and savor life's simple joys. A South Pacific adventure serves as your personal retreat, a chance to appreciate the world's enduring beauty.

The Leeward Islands of Tahiti

Probably one of the most popular and recognisable destinations, the Leeward Islands are majestic volcanic landscapes covered in lush tropical vegetation. Each island rises steeply from its lagoon and is circled by a protecting outer coral reef. Dotting the reef, small uninhabited motus (islets) are fringed by white sandy beaches and lush green coconut palms.

The island of Raiatea lies in the heart of the Leeward Islands. According to legend, Raiatea is the sacred home of the gods, and the ancestral heart of French Polynesia. It is a magical island paradise with mountainous peaks to the south home to waterfalls that cascade to the sea. Raiatea shares her lagoon with the lush island of Tahaa; a tranquil island where sweet tropical aromas of vanilla and frangipani permeate the air.

Bora Bora to the north is the fabled island where they make movies. Enjoy secluded anchorages in places accessible only by yacht. Venture to the east and lose yourselves in the blues, greens and turquoises of this beautiful lagoon. Pluck up the courage to swim with the turtles, sharks and rays you'll likely announce this a highlight of your charter! For a less commercialised experience head further southwest to Huahine, a deeply spiritual island with a deep turquoise lagoon.

The Tuamotu Atolls in Tahiti
