Think black-sand beaches and verdant, jungle-clad mountains laden with waterfalls: The Islands of Tahiti are French Polynesia’s largest archipelago and a paradise waiting to be uncovered. The first thing you’ll long to do is kick back, relax, and soak up the sunshine. But there’s so much more to the Islands of Tahiti than this.

Home to a wonderful traditional culture with a spectacular ancient history, and crystal-clear waters teeming with thriving marine life, travelling to The Islands of Tahiti by yacht allows for the ultimate flexibility and exclusive access to the most deserted beaches, bays and inlets. Quad bike and ATV into the volcanic mountains, or snorkel and swim with rays and humpback whales. Partake in coral replanting programmes, and feed the blue-eyed eels that are sacred to Polynesian culture.

A Pelorus Tahitian experience aboard a yacht will enable you freedom in determining your own itinerary, and here, we’ve rounded up the top yachts for charter for the ultimate yacht-based experience in 2023.
