Turquoise waters, lush landscapes, and the warm embrace of the sun on your skin – French Polynesia is truly a tropical paradise. Home to 118 castaway islands scattered around a series of azure lagoons in the South Pacific, it’s easily one of the most stunning places on the planet.
Most visitors hop between islands by plane or ferry, but it’s also possible to explore this stunning archipelago by booking a yacht charter. If you're in the market for an unforgettable adventure with no crowds and a pure sense of freedom, a sailing holiday in French Polynesia is the perfect solution.
Whether you're setting off on your honeymoon, celebrating a milestone birthday, or simply itching to get away from it all, a sailing holiday in French Polynesia ticks all the boxes. Wake up to breathtaking views of Bora Bora, enjoy total privacy, and see parts of French Polynesia that other travellers simply don't reach.

French Polynesia sailing holidays and boutique cruises
If tropical seclusion is your ultimate goal, you can't do better than a yacht charter in French Polynesia. Your gorgeous catamaran will come complete with a skipper and chef, so you'll receive VIP treatment from the moment you set sail. Explore the lagoons of the stunning Society Islands or, if for a real adventure, venture out to one of the more remote island groups.
For a slightly more social experience, why not book a boutique cruise in French Polynesia, seeing the highlights in laid-back luxury? Alternatively, book a cabin on the iconic Aranui - a cargo ship that takes passengers into the remote reaches of the Marquesas Islands.
