| Fast facts | |
Full Name: French Polynesia In the heart of the Pacific Ocean lies French Polynesia, made up of the Society Islands, Marquesas, Tuamotus, Gambiers and the Australes. Our cruising area in the Society Islands encompasses Raitea, Bora Bora, Tahaa and Huahine, all just a four to five hour sail apart. Here you find relaxed cruising in a stunning natural paradise. Combined with such close proximity to beautiful Bora Bora, this has earned Raiatea and her twin sister island, Tahaa, the joint title of ‘Tahiti’s sailing and yacht chartering center.” |
