South Pacific & Galapagos Yacht Charter


The South Pacific and the Galapagos are the final frontier of luxury yachting. Scattered across the largest ocean on earth, these islands offer what almost nowhere else can: genuine remoteness, extraordinary wildlife, and anchorages you will share with no one. A South Pacific yacht charter with ASA Yacht Charter takes you there in complete comfort.

Expedition Yachting at the Edge of the Map

Chartering in the South Pacific is unlike chartering anywhere else. Distances are vast, islands are remote, and the rewards are proportionate. From the volcanic peaks and lagoons of French Polynesia to the wild coasts of Fiji and Tonga, this is a region for travelers who want their charter to be a true voyage rather than a tour of crowded marinas.

The Galapagos adds something no other destination can match. Walking among giant tortoises, snorkeling with sea lions and marine iguanas, and cruising between islands that shaped our understanding of the natural world is an experience that belongs on every itinerary of a lifetime.

When to Charter in the South Pacific


The South Pacific season generally runs from May to October, when trade winds are steady and conditions across French Polynesia, Fiji, and Tonga are at their best. The Galapagos is a year-round destination, with warm, clear waters from December to May and cooler, nutrient-rich seas bringing peak wildlife activity from June to November. Our team will match your dates to the right islands.
