A Message from our Director regarding Tonga
Tongan sailing charter industry continues to languish
Sad to say that at the time of writing Tonga does not have any bareboats for charter. If wishing for a South Pacific sailing holiday, I suggest you talk to us about the merits of sailing in New Caledonia and Tahiti, destinations we know so well. The reasons for sailing in these French territories are stronger now than they have ever been.
Tonga did its best to get up and running after Covid. Unfortunately events since then have conspired against that happening, for the bareboat fleet at least. The pandemic was bad enough, but then came the volcanic eruptions of late 2021/early 2022 This tiny island nation was shattered, and since then has simply had to sort its priorities. Catering for boat charter groups has not been among them.
Even prior to the pandemic, operators had issues with government duties on their charter boats. Then when Covid hit the boat owners were unable to get their boats out, they just sat there for three years. So the climate just didn’t support the activity.
Once restrictions lifted the plan was to refit the boats in Tonga, but that proved difficult. So the two boats concerned came back to New Zealand. Here they remain - 2008 and 2014 models now considered too old to send back into work in Tonga.
For Vavau’u tourism, good signs beginning to appear on the horizon
Shane Walker has operated the Moorings/Sunsail fleet in Tonga for some 40+ years. He is still there, running the Tongan Beachside Resort which he owns. And he has taken on a waterfront property lease, in anticipation of setting up another bareboat fleet in the truly magical cruising destination that is Vavau.
But he can’t do that without boats to operate. The good news is that there's a feeling growing that just may happen again!
The government duties previously applied are now dead in the water; there are no boats on which duty can be paid! This has always been a barrier to development of the Tonga charter industry, and until that is lifted this part of the sector, with its jobs and economic benefits, will not return. We are quietly confident the Tongan government will recognise this reality and take another look.
Be a part of Tonga’s sailing industry revival
This year, recession has hit the European charter market hard, and an unprecedented number of good late model charter catamarans are now on the market; selling at huge reductions on prices paid just two years ago.
Anyone with a desire to own a boat suitable for family cruising – and thus charter as well - in this part of the world could well consider this: pick up one of those surplus boats and base it in Tonga where it can pay for itself. Buy a boat in Europe, enjoy a season or two there and then sail onto the Caribbean before putting it in Tongan charter: what a wonderful adventure if you have the means to make this happen.
Alternatively, if you have a suitable late-model boat tied up in New Zealand or Australia, you are not using it as much as you would like to and the costs are mounting, then putting it into charter in Vava'u, Tonga will likely turn this liability into an investment.
Shane Walker can talk to you about the likely return on investment a boat in Tonga can produce. I can vouch for the demand!
There is no place like Vava’u group for sailing exquisite Blue Pacific lagoons in safety and comfort. Whatever the circumstances, those northern islands of Tonga will always be a popular charter destination. Once we get the boats back there.
Robert Cross
An Invitation to Experience the Blue Pacific
The Kingdom of Tonga, Captain James Cook's 'Friendly Islands', is made of up three main island groups. The most northerly is the Vava'u Group, a favoured boat charter destination yet a place where there's so much room you may well image yourself on the quintessential desert island. Sailing your charter yacht through the Vava'u charter cruising grounds is a pure delight. From Neiafu harbour, sail out into the blue Pacific into island-studded waters that contain more than 50 protected anchorages.
Step back in time and encounter another world. Your search for peace and tranquility ends here. Charter a yacht in Tonga's Vava'u Group, to discover remote idyllic islands, beautiful lagoons, colourful reefs and mile upon mile of deserted white sand beaches fringed with gently rustling palm trees.
The blue Pacific waters are warm and clear, with almost unlimited visibility that makes snorkelling among the colourful sea life a dream. Scuba lovers can experience reef, cave and wreck diving at a number of excellent sites. And when your day of fun and nature appreciation is done, come ashore where the people are friendly and ready to share their culture and uniquely Pacific way of life.
The Vava'u charter sailing area is compact with numerous options for short-stay and overnight anchorages. So there's plenty of flexibility, and you can largely go to wherever the breeze and the mood takes you. As a guide only, and for some further information on places you may like to visit, here's a sample 10-day itinerary for a bareboat charter in Tonga.
Explore the islands of the Vava'u Group at your own pace, as one relaxed day flows into another.
About Sailing Holiday Charters in Tonga's Vava'u Group
Restricted sailing zones.
Information on areas out of bounds on charter is covered in the chart briefing. Charterers are asked to stay away from the exposed windward (eastern) side of the island Group. The area of charter comprises the islands of Vava'u Group.
Charter Facilities
Facilities at the charter base marina in Neiafu include a provisioning service, fuel, ice, laundry, boutique, restaurant, shower, café and bar. There are no shops or stores on any of the outer islands, but some do have small restaurants.
From this central location you can cruise to no less than forty recognised anchorages, many of them within two hours' sailing. Don't miss the Swallows Cave on the island's northwest tip. It is a spectacular sight that is similar to the Blue Grotto in Capri. Port Maurelle on Kapa is the spot where the Spanish explorer Maurelle,who in 1781 was the first European to see Vava'u, anchored his ship. It is a lovely and protected natural anchorage.
Nuapapu, Hunga and Vaka'eitu
To the west are the islands of Nuapapu, Hunga and Vaka'eitu. Hunga's huge lagoon, formed by the crater of an extinct volcano, can only be reached through a 200ft-wide pass. Here a traditional Tongan village shares the shoreline with the 'Island Style' Club Hunga Resort. Further along, on the western coast of Nuapapu is the fascinating Mariner's Cave, an underwater cavern which good swimmers will be able to visit. At Vaka'eitu you will find a safe overnight anchorage.
Mananita is surrounded by reefs that provide some of the best snorkelling in the area. Careful navigation through the reefs will be rewarded by the discovery of perfect white, powdery sand beaches. A stroll inland will take you into a luxuriant natural temple filled with the brilliant green light provided by the large-leafed puko trees.
Kenutu is an idyllic lagoon perfect for an overnight stay, with an attractive beach, excellent diving for experienced divers on the reef and a walk on the exposed ocean side to see the caverns and blowholes.
A delightful small island surrounded by a sandy beach, Mounu is the idyllic South Pacific island. There is a small resort on the western end of the island. Call ahead on the VHF and make your reservation for a gourmet meal.
A tiny island with a cosy anchorage alongside an idyllic sandspit, Nuku is possibly the most photographed island in the Kingdom of Tonga. A perfect place for a day stop. Safe swimming and snorkelling allow beginners to gain their confidence. Nuku becomes a favourite with all who visit Vava'u.
Between Nuku and Port Maurelle, A'a provides some amazing snorkelling and diving, particularly along the western shoreline. The mid afternoon sun highlights the natural colours of the coral and fish life, with the depth dropping away to around 200 feet.

Tonga Yacht Charter EnquiryDear Clare, I came back home from my honeymoon just yesterday. The time on board on Melinda was wonderful, Tonga is a piece of paradise on the earth and even if the weather wasn't good (clouds and rain for almost all the time) the crew was great in finding something to do: they often took us with the dinghy for a walk ashore or for an exploration of the coast around and they had care of us for everything. For all the time we had great sailing, great snorkeling, really good food and it was very interesting to explore the islands where we were anchored for the night. I think we will never forget all the places and all the people we met, overall we will never forget the crew (Christine for her magnificent cakes, Steve for all his stories and for the funny sailing and Mesi for his precision in doing everything). And I will never forget your courtesy and kindness in the organization of this trip. Thank you so much!

MORE Tonga IslandsNuku’alofa, tongatapu, archaeological and natural wonders, romance and bliss, enticing aquatic fun, observe majestic whales in their natural habitat, rich tongan cuisine for gourmands. French Polynesia has only lately been emerging as the southern hemisphere’s premium luxury charter destination offering the most plush surroundings and favorable sailing conditions for your yacht enabling you to spend the time of your life aboard while soaking in these islands’ splendor. One of the best kept secrets of this part of the world rest without a doubt the islands of Tonga, a terrestrial paradise lying north of New Zealand. The sun-drenched Tonga Islands are an utter haven lined with powdery white beaches bordering magnificent deep azure lagoons perfect for mooring your luxury charter yacht . This culturally rich island country enchants with rustic beauty and lures all water sports amateurs for a once in a lifetime adventure under the sun! Tonga is a wonderful collection of 176 scattered islands with over 30 pristine uninhabited islands. There is absolutely no better way to discover these anchorages than on a luxury charter yacht. Hop aboard with Sunreef Yachts Charter and let the magnificence of the plentiful islands sweep you off your feet! The archipelago is divided into three main island groups, Vava’u, Ha’apai and Tongatapu, the latter being it’s main island home to the country’s capital, Naku’alofa. On Tongatapu live slightly over 70% of the country’s population, making it Tonga’s political, commercial and economic hub. The luscious island of Tongatapu will therefore be the best place to start your luxury charter vacation in Tonga with the Fua’amotu International Airport conveniently located near Nuku’alofa and offering flights to Australia and New Zealand . First described by Captain James Cook in late 18th century and Tonga’s capital since 1875, Nuku’alofa is a quaint South Pacific town, different than architecturally rich European cities, but nonetheless unusual and charming. Commencing their luxury charter in this city gives guests the opportunity to visit Tonga’s largest towns and amazing archaeological and natural sites. In Nuku’alofa you will be able to see the monarch’s Royal Palace, the Tongan Parliament building and the Free Church of Tonga being the country’s official church. With a low skyline, Naku’alofa is not similar to Western capital cities but it definitely leaves visitors under its spell. The country’s biggest island, Tongatapu is abundant in archaeological sites to discover during your luxury charter vacation. The first one not to be missed are Langi, tombs of Tongan kings, located in Mu’a which is the second largest town on the island. Mapu ‘a Vaea or “Whistle of the Noble” are natural blowholes in the coral reef on the island’s south-western coast where water blows through impetuously from volcanic rock formations leaving the water quaintly splashing around the site. Another not to be missed natural wonder is that of Hufangalupe, a natural land bridge formed by a collapsing sea cave roof leaving waters often dramatically breaking near the entrance to the site. Vava’u may not be the largest island group in Tonga but it probably rests the most popular one giving guests the possibility to live an authentic South Pacific experience to cherish for a lifetime. This archipelago consists of one larger island and 40 smaller pristine islands that await your discovery during your cruise. With many quaint anchorages and powdery beaches lined with lush impressive coconut trees, tropical Vava’u is an amazing slice of paradise whose favorable climate is just perfect for swimming, diving and snorkeling and an abundant marine life continues to inspire fishermen amateurs. The islands of Vava’u rest pristine with little bigger settlements, the principal village being Neiafu, also the country’s second largest settlement. Although the town is not very populous, it is the administrative hub of the Vava’u group and therefore houses government buildings, banks, schools and a hospital. It is also conveniently located beside the Port of Refuge which is one of the most picturesque anchorages in Tonga with deep azure waters quaintly winding inland creating a harmonious landscape of lagoons nestled in plush tropical fauna. Located in the central part of the Tongan Kingdom south of the Vava’u islands, is the group of Ha’apai, 50 islands and islets with the administrative capital town of Pangai on Lifutka Island. The archipelago consists of both volcanic and coral islands, the latter remaining uninhabited but leaving visitors with the opportunity to chose their own deserted beaches where to soak up the sun or island-hop in sea kayaks thanks to unchanging weather conditions around the islands. Tonga Islands rest largely untouched by man and will therefore be the perfect backdrop for your romantic getaway from busy Western ports of call. With a considerable number of unspoiled islands with beautiful immaculate beaches where you will admire awe-inspiring tropical sunsets and fully unwind, Tonga will leave its guests stupefied. A luxury charter is the perfect way to experience the beauty of these islands offering the utmost of relaxation and rejuvenation. During the day you will bask in the sun on the beach or on the flybridge of your luxury charter catamaran before passing by one of the acclaimed resorts for a relaxing Polynesian massage tingling the five senses. You will spend your evenings beachcombing as the crew aboard your yacht prepares a sumptuous alfresco meal. In Tonga not only will you be able to the spend your days unwinding and absorbing the wonderful tropical entourage but also taking advantage of water toys available onboard for wonderful submarine adventures. Go sea kayaking in calm lagoons around the islands, visit remote coves in a tender or dinghy, opt for a thrilling afternoon session of water skiing or jet skiing or a more relaxed one of snorkeling or diving in crystal clear waters. Another wonderful option is fishing as the immense Tongan shores are the natural habitat for such tropical species as barracuda, yellow fin tuna, blue, black and striped marlin, mahi mahi and wahoo. The South Pacific is abundant in vibrant marine life and amateur anglers from the entire world have the possibility to test their skills in Tonga. Your luxury charter vacation in Tonga Islands will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch giant humpback whales giving birth to their young in these tropical reef-protected waters, a species migrating here from icy cold waters of Antarctica. These majestic sea creatures arrive in Tonga around June and remain in the warm waters until November before heading back south, it is therefore a not to be missed possibility of swimming with the whales in one of three countries in the world offering such an adventure. You will marvel at the dignity with which humpback whales traverse the turquoise waters around Tongan islands right from the deck of your luxury charter yacht or during a cruise with one of the whale-watching companies. With a favorable year-round climate, Tonga Islands smell of freshly grown produce as well as locally caught game. The South Pacific is a genuine paradise for seafood lovers as the ocean is rich in fish and crustaceans. Tongan fishermen sell their fresh catches daily leaving you and your Chef with the choice of trout, lobster, mudcrab and octopus to prepare for alfresco lunch or dinner. Local markets are fragrant with fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, spinach, pumpkins, tapioca and onions to accompany your meals. Although restaurants on the island specialize in many cuisines for different palates, authentic Tongan dishes include chicken, pork, fish and shellfish that are traditionally cooked in earth ovens. Locally grown coffee is served in traditional cafes around the islands where you will spend relaxing afternoons chatting with locals. Choose Tonga for your luxury charter vacation with Sunreef Yachts Charter and discover magnificent tropical robust beauty of these South Pacific islands offering a perfect combination of sailing, lounging and nature admiring.
