# Polynesia

Blue water, remote atolls, and the South Pacific dream

Polynesia scatters across the vast South Pacific like gems on blue velvet - Tahiti, Fiji, Tonga, the Cook Islands, and hundreds of atolls between them. This is the ultimate remote yacht charter destination. Perfect reef passes for surfing, pristine lagoons for diving, humpback whales breaching off the bow, and the kind of solitude that only the deep Pacific can offer.
