Superyacht Charter In French Polynesia
Discover Paradise on a French Polynesia Superyacht Charter
French Polynesia is an exceptional destination for a superyacht charter, with the Society Islands combining dramatic volcanic scenery, clear Pacific waters and a rich Polynesian culture across a remarkably varied cruising ground. Most charters centre around this celebrated archipelago, beginning with Tahiti and neighbouring Moorea, where dramatic scenery, lively markets and a strong sense of Polynesian culture set the tone. Further west, the Leeward Islands move at a gentler pace, with Huahine feeling quieter and more traditional, Raiatea and Taha’a shaped by history, fertile landscapes and rich marine life and Bora Bora defined by its brilliant turquoise waters and iconic mountain backdrop.
The principal charter season runs from May to October, when lower humidity, lighter rainfall and the south-easterly trade winds create excellent conditions for exploring the islands. July is particularly vibrant, with the Heiva celebrations bringing traditional dance, music and sporting events to Tahiti, while the arrival of humpback whales from July to November adds another reason to spend time on the water around Tahiti and Moorea. As the dry season progresses, warm days and clear lagoons continue well into September and October, making different points in the season equally appealing depending on whether the priority is cultural events, wildlife or simply an unhurried pace between the islands.
Thank you for an amazing experience! These memories will last a lifetime! Thank you for the delicious food, amazing service and a great journey.

Explore Tahiti the Heart of French Polynesia
Tahiti is the cultural and commercial heart of French Polynesia, with dramatic volcanic scenery, lively markets and a strong sense of local life. Explore Papeete’s waterfront and colourful market, venture inland to waterfalls and lush valleys or enjoy the island’s black-sand beaches before continuing out towards the Society Islands.
Disover the Dramatic Peaks of Mo’orea
Mo’orea is shaped by steep volcanic peaks, deep bays and a coastline that feels wonderfully close to nature. Swim with rays in the shallows, explore the island’s lush interior or spend the afternoon anchored beneath the dramatic ridgelines of Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay. Its easygoing atmosphere makes it a particularly rewarding place to experience from the water.
Tetiaroa a perfectly remote paradise
Tetiaroa feels wonderfully removed, a ring of low-lying islets encircling calm, luminous water north of Tahiti. Spend the day exploring by tender, snorkelling over shallow reefs or enjoying the quiet beaches and rich birdlife that give the atoll its secluded character.
Huahine, Wild and Wonderful
Huahine has a quieter, more traditional character, with lush hillsides, ancient archaeological sites and villages that feel closely connected to the island’s Polynesian heritage. Explore the sacred sites around Maeva, visit local vanilla and pearl farms or spend the day swimming in sheltered bays before heading ashore for a relaxed meal by the water.
Sail into the History of Raiatea
Raiatea is deeply rooted in Polynesian history and sailing culture, with sacred sites, fertile valleys and a coastline made for exploring by water. Visit the ancient marae of Taputapuātea, kayak along the Faaroa River or spend time in the island’s sheltered bays before continuing on through the Leeward Islands.
Discover the Sweet Side of Polynesia in Taha’a
Taha’a is known for its vanilla plantations, quiet motu and close connection to the sea. Spend the day visiting a family-run vanilla farm, snorkelling in the coral gardens or stopping at a pearl farm before settling into one of the island’s sheltered bays for a relaxed afternoon on the water.
Explore the Blue Lagoon of Bora Bora
Bora Bora is instantly recognisable for its dramatic volcanic peak, vivid blue lagoon and ring of sandy motu. Spend the day snorkelling with rays, exploring the reef by tender or enjoying a long lunch with views back towards Mount Otemanu. Despite its fame, the island still offers plenty of space to slow the pace and enjoy the water.
Superyacht Charter with Yomira in French Polynesia
With Yomira, an itinerary through French Polynesia is shaped around the experiences that matter most to you. That might mean drifting through Taha’a’s Coral Garden between two motu before visiting one of the island’s vanilla plantations, or stepping ashore on Raiatea to explore the ancient marae of Taputapuātea, one of Polynesia’s most important cultural sites. Further east, a day in Moorea might combine time in the lagoon with lunch at Coco Beach on Motu Tiahura, while Bora Bora lends itself to long days spent swimming and snorkelling from the yacht among coral, rays and tropical fish.
Choosing the right yacht is the starting point for any charter in French Polynesia. From there, we draw on our understanding of the islands to shape a journey that works naturally around the yacht, your priorities and the distances between each stop. In a destination where the pleasure lies as much in the passage between islands as in the places themselves, that careful balance allows the experience to unfold at the right pace and gives the charter a sense of ease that stays with you long after you leave the South Pacific.
