Picture the romance and beauty of the South Pacific combined with the relaxed sailing conditions of the British Virgin Islands. It exists here, in a sailors' paradise like no other, in the idyllic island Kingdom of Tonga. It's a brilliant blue expanse where 170 islands glitter to create a cruising ground with line-of-sight sailing, spectacular snorkeling and soft, unspoiled beaches. These secluded islands are home to the most gentle and welcoming people on earth, a peaceful world known only to the world's most fortunate sailors.
"The Friendly Islands"
It was the honorary title offered by Captain Cook in 1777 and today's visitors are quick to agree. The warm welcome of these enchanting people is matched only by the appeal of the effortless cruising. Tongan feasts are famous throughout the Pacific, featuring up to 30 dishes and a torchlit celebration of dancing and singing. Once aboard your yacht, the welcome continues out to sea, thanks to predictable trade winds, crystal-clear waters and more than 50 anchorages all within an easy day's sail. Just below the surface of these perpetually calm waters, you'll find a colorful realm which invites you to don mask, snorkel and fins for the experience of a lifetime.

Come join me for a charter aboard my sailing yacht, Manu-O-Ku, a 37’ Searunner Trimaran, and sail among the Vava’u Group of islands in the Kingdom of Tonga. I have owned Manu-O-Ku for 22 years, have sailed her over 18,000 nautical miles, and she is also my cozy and comfortable home. I invite you aboard my home for 1 to 6 or more days, and I will share with you as much hands on sailing as you want..... |
