New Caledonia

French Polynesia Yacht Charter

A slice of tropical paradise awaits you in New Caledonia. A secluded gem, this South Pacific island is rapidly emerging as a leading charter destination due to its stunning natural beauty, pristine white sand beaches and beautiful array of wildlife. Home to an incredible mix of ethnic groups, New Caledonia, is also known for its warm, vibrant culture. A self-governing territory of France, both France and Britain settled the group of islands surrounding New Caledonia in the early 19th century, including the Loyalty Islands, Isle of Pines and Belep. Filled with various traditions, customs and beliefs shaped by Polynesian and Asian influences, a New Caledonia yacht charter is the best way to discover this thriving island.
