Cook named them for the Royal Society, and they remain the heart of French Polynesia: high volcanic islands inside coral reefs, each with a lagoon and a mountain, close enough to sail between comfortably in a morning.
The week works the leeward group. Moorea and Bora Bora carry the reputation; Taha’a and Huahine carry the interest ’ vanilla farms, pearl lagoons, and an island so little developed that its sacred sites sit unfenced beside the road.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Society Islands; the rest we tailor to you.
