The Pacific Ocean is a vast region that is 630,000 times larger than the UK and contains over 25000 individual islands. The oceans name comes from the Portuguese ‘Mar Pacifico’ or ‘Peaceful Sea’. The oceans vastness presents a logical challenge for sailing but the regions relative isolation from large population cents is also what helps preserve its natural beauty. BoatAffair Asia Pacific is growing its portfolio of Pacific products but for the moment it focuses primarily on 4 ‘Ambassadors’ of the Pacific. These include French Polynesia, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. Each of these regions presents the very best of what the Pacific has to offer future ocean borne visitors. Here is our list, in no particular order, of the top 5 places to charter in the Pacific.
