French Polynesia spans an ocean the size of Europe — 118 islands spread across five archipelagos, each one completely different from the last.
Turquoise lagoons in the Society Islands. Vast coral atolls in the Tuamotus where shark diving is world-renowned. Volcanic peaks in the Marquesas that rise straight from the Pacific, largely unchanged for centuries.
This is not a destination you see from a beach. It takes time, the right vessel, and the willingness to go further than most.
These images were captured during a recent extended charter aboard NORTHERN ESCAPE, offering a glimpse into what exploring French Polynesia by yacht can look like.
Following another successful season in the region, NORTHERN ESCAPE has a rare charter window available from 28 September to 28 October—one of the few remaining opportunities to experience French Polynesia aboard her this season.
