Idyllic and Isolated Tahiti, and the Luxury Charter Yachts Available

THE DESTINATION:

There are five main island groups from the Marquesas in the north, the Tuamotu atolls, Society and the Leeward Islands to the more remote Australes in the south. They each have their own character and charm with the most well known being the Society Islands of Moorea and Bora Bora.

Geographically 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 most popular charter itinerary is between Huahine and Bora Bora.

In total contrast are The Tuamotu Islands, which are a collection of low atolls. Each island encircles its own lagoon with a ring of coral and beneath the clear waters are spectacular underwater gardens and a myriad of marine life.

Most of these small islets in the making have a pass entrance with some having small local communities existing quietly in paradise while others are attracting tourists to new 5-star resorts. The Tuamotus are becoming more sought after for the luxury crewed yacht charterer seeking that unique ultimate paradise.

The French Polynesian islands enjoy a year round tropical climate but it's best to charter when the trade winds are blowing between April and October. Between the months of November and March it's the hot wet season, when it's very hot and humid with less breeze, so you'll enjoy the air-conditioning on board!

On land and in the sea, there is a plethora of natural wonders to enchant visitors and welcoming locals that embody the Polynesian and French influences in a beautiful blend of culture and cuisine.

Authors rhapsodise about the 118 islands that are cast over the crystalline sea like jewels and you too can experience the vacation of your dreams on a luxury charter yacht such as DREAM. 

Here are just five of the stunning luxury charter yachts available here:

The steel hull and superstructure with the added benefit of extended range, made possible through a vast amount of fuel reserve onboard, makes SuRi the perfect choice for venturing into exotic and demanding areas of the globe.
