Polynesia – Your dreams come true!

Polynesia
Here, in the unremitting vastness of the South Seas, are the most beautiful sailing areas worldwide. It is a dream world with the Fiji, Tonga and Tahiti Archipelagos. There is no other place in the world where the water is so blue, the lagoons are so crystal-clear and the abundance of fish and corals is so great. Discover the beach paradise under palm trees, visit a hospitable people still living according to old customs and practices.

The Society Islands
In the heart of the south Pacific are the paradisiacal islands the names of which alone induce us to dream: Bora Bora, Huahine, Raiatea. From Raiatea you can sail to the atolls with fantastic lagoons or discover volcanos covered with tropical vegetation. Everywhere on the islands you`ll find flowers, which are growing very well under the tropical sun and which the natives are adorned with. The crystal-clear water holds a magical underwater fauna and flora make you believe you` re in paradise. The temperature in Polynesia varies only slightly between the different seasons. The dry season is between March and December. Between December and February, a little more rain is to be expected. Throughout the year you`ll find the most perfect sailing conditions
