Passage Brief

Covering an impressive 24,000 km², the archipelago’s much-loved lagoon is a veritable playground for those who enjoy spending time out on the water. Loved by locals and visitors alike, sailing in New Caledonia encompasses some incredibly varied experiences, from outings lasting from just a few hours to voyages lasting several full days. Both experienced and beginner sailors also will be amazed at the countless ways to discover the Pacific Ocean, located off the coast of New Caledonia.

Prevailing conditions along this route will see us moving along comfortably in the South Pacific Trades on a beam reach with a close watch for squall activity. Expect plenty of action from Spinnaker and Mizzen Staysail down to a reef or two and back again. Along with some awesome fishing. A excellent introduction to offshore sailing or opportunity to develop and enhance existing skills..

A brilliant blue water sailing experience.
