Characterized by deserted white-sand beaches and crystal clear sea, Tahiti is hugely popular as a luxury yacht charter destination and is definitely the best known in the Society Archipelago, which became a French colony in 1880. The other archipelagos are the Marquesas, Gambier, the Austral Ridge and Tuamotu, the world’s largest collection of coral atolls that are still largely undiscovered by yacht charter clients.

 


 

Here are our Top Ten Tuamotu Archipelago Facts for luxury yacht charter guests:
 

1. The Tuamotu Archipelago consists of 73 atolls, four low coral islands, one raised coral island and one large island barrier reef complex.
2. The atolls are scattered over 2,000 km of the South Pacific Ocean.
3. The largest atoll is Rangiora with a lagoon so enormous that the whole island of Tahiti could fit in it, with ample room to spare.
4. The most popular beach off which to moor on your luxury yacht charter is Blue Lagoon.
5. The atoll of Fakarava has been named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
6. For those yacht charter guests who enjoy diving, the Tuamotu Archipelago boasts some excellent dive sites.
7. The region is also popular with sharks, with a dozen species living in the waters surrounding the archipelago.
8. Black pearls are cultivated in pearl farms across the archipelago, and it is highly recommended that yacht charter guests visit a pearl farm to see how they are grown.
9. It is possible to pet the bottlenose dolphins that swim in the calm waters of the Tiputa Pass.
10. Some of the world’s most unusual fossilized corals are found on Reef Island.
