Slip quietly through the brilliant blue waters of French Polynesia aboard a private boat, the fresh ocean breeze whistling through the quiet air. Either side of you, tropical islands slide by, their white sandy beaches shimmering in the sun, palms trees swaying lazily against the azure sky.

French Polynesia’s 118 islands are divided into five groups – the Society Islands, the Tuamotu Archipelago, Gambier Islands, Marquesas Islands and Austral Islands – and one of the best ways to navigate them is by boat.

From onboard you can admire picture-perfect views of turquoise lagoons and vibrant green volcanoes leading down to pristine beaches. Beneath the surface of the water an astounding world beckons. Swim and snorkel alongside colourful schools of fish, or venture deeper and dive down to discover larger marine life and beautiful coral reefs.

We have a selection of luxury vessels to choose from, with comfortable cabins, spacious living areas and a crew who will take care of you every step of the way. They are well-equipped with snorkelling and fishing equipment, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards.

Browse our elegant vessels and then speak to our travel designers to create your perfect trip through the French Polynesian islands.
