Tonga Yacht Charter Information
The exotic island nation of Tonga is situated in the South Pacific and contains 169 pristine islands (of which only 36 are inhabited) and is considered a sailing and power yacht chartering paradise. Ideal sailing conditions exist from May to October, particularly in the gorgeous Vava’u island group. April marks the end of the Tonganese hurricanes season, so try to steer clear of the islands until these harsh winds have passed. Whale watching (from July to November), fantastic snorkeling and deserted beaches are the trademarks of a yacht charter holiday in Tonga. Minimal currents, line-of-sight conditions, a meter tidal range and 10 to 13 knots winds from April to December make Tonga a top South Pacific yacht charter destination.
