Fiji's Mamanucas and Yasawas
Mamanuca beaches can suit a shorter island escape around a stay ashore. The more rugged Yasawa chain invites a longer island journey. Both give a Fiji brief a clear starting point for swimming, beaches and time aboard.
South Pacific. An island week.
Fiji's island chains or French Polynesia's mountain-backed lagoons. Find the setting for a private yacht holiday with your family or friends.
Find my charterFind your island setting
Start with the view you want to wake to: Fiji's beaches, a Society Islands lagoon or a Tuamotu coral atoll.
The South Pacific holds very different island holidays. Fiji's Mamanucas and Yasawas draw you along an island chain. In French Polynesia, the Society Islands pair mountain scenery with lagoons, while the Tuamotus have the low outline of coral atolls.
Choose a country or island group and give it the holiday. That leaves room to swim, go ashore and settle into a place, with your own yacht as the base between days out.
Where will your island days be?
Explore Fiji or French Polynesia around the places you want to see and the time you want to spend in the water.
The Society Islands' mountain lagoons
Look to French Polynesia for green island slopes rising behind coral lagoons. Moorea, Raiatea, Taha'a and Bora Bora are places to explore as you choose a focused Society Islands route.
A Tuamotu atoll journey
For a holiday centred on coral atolls and the water, explore a Tuamotu request. Rangiroa and Fakarava offer a different setting from the Society Islands, with snorkelling or diving shaped around local conditions and suitable support.

- Still choosing your island destination?
- Explore Fiji and French Polynesia, or start an enquiry while you are still comparing them. Other Pacific places on your wish list can be discussed in the follow-up, with the route and yacht options assessed for your dates.
- Keep flight days and charter days distinct
- Map the international arrival, any onward flight or transfer, and the yacht's boarding point together. Confirm these before committing to travel. Include your preferred boarding island or hotel so the transfers and yacht departure work together.
- Let the season shape the plan
- Seasonal weather and yacht movements vary across the Pacific. Share your date window and how flexible it is, then discuss the conditions and route for that destination. A favourite yacht may suit a different location or period.

The whole charter cost
Build the budget around one proposed whole-yacht charter. The destination, time aboard, yacht and route matter more than a single price for the South Pacific.
Understand charter costs- Compare like-for-like quotes
- Keep guest numbers, cabins, duration and crewed service consistent. Check the quoted currency and whether tax is included before comparing headline fees.
- Understand running expenses
- Ask how fuel, food, drinks, marina costs and activity arrangements are charged. Where an expense allowance applies, establish what it covers and how it is reconciled.
- Include getting to the yacht
- Budget for international and onward travel, transfers and any hotel nights. A delivery charge may affect the cost of a particular boarding location.

Find my charterBefore you go.
Which South Pacific destination should we choose?
Compare Fiji and French Polynesia around the places you want to visit, your flights and your time aboard. Fiji's Mamanuca and Yasawa planning differs from a Society Islands or Tuamotu trip. Choose the experience first, then narrow the yacht options.
Can one charter visit several Pacific countries?
That needs a specific route assessment, with suitable time, yacht movements and entry arrangements. For an island holiday, begin with a chosen country or island group. Include any cross-border wish in the enquiry before arranging flights.
Can we enquire before choosing the country?
Yes. Start with your date window, group size and time aboard. The destinations and activities you are considering can be discussed in the follow-up, without deciding every island first.
Is a South Pacific yacht charter private and crewed?
The charters explored here are whole-yacht trips with crew for your own group. Bareboat hire and cabins on shared cruises are different products, with different responsibilities, services and pricing.
