Boasting some of the world’s most serene beaches, crystal lagoons and exciting flora and fauna, it’s no wonder these remote islands are high on the list for honeymooners. The islands offer more than romance for newlyweds though, and the riches of these French Polynesian islands can be enjoyed by everyone, James Southgate, captain of the 43.28-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1146" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Richmond Yachts (Company)">Richmond</a> motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1918" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Playpen43.28m (141'12&quot;)Richmond Yachts2007">Playpen</a> tells us. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215201/image/large-7da95f0f51cd34ac1f8bf5a9ca6960b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215201">Each island encapsulates the essence of paradise, but none more so than the most southern of the cluster, Tahiti. The Queen of the Pacific, as it’s often called, is the largest of the Windrush group and offers 402 square-miles of utopia. Stepping ashore imbues the sense of entering the pages of Last Horizon and discovering Shangri-La. Tahiti is rich with craggy mountains, lush rainforests, meandering rivers and majestic waterfalls. What heightens the island’s charm though is its Saturn-like ring – a coral reef teeming with over 1,000 species of marine life.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215209/image/large-53b8177d17f2602abd6cfef5d9cd86d4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215209">Captain Southgate and the crew of the sophisticated 43.28-metre tri-deck motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1918" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Playpen43.28m (141'12&quot;)Richmond Yachts2007">Playpen</a> know these waters well. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1146" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Richmond Yachts (Company)">Richmond</a> built yacht was delivered in 2007 and has been running charters around the French Polynesian islands since 2017. When asked about the challenges these islands pose, captain Southgate said there is none, “just new adventures. No day is ever the same, but with great shore-side support staff and an amazing crew, it’s always fun and enjoyable.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215208/image/large-2fad7663e77c3b12168438d6af46f0e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215208"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1918" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Playpen43.28m (141'12&quot;)Richmond Yachts2007">Playpen</a> does not do typical and pulls out all the stops to make a charter to Tahiti an unforgettable experience. Activities are endless on the island, but with such an abundance of marine life diving is a must - the aqua life is certainly this queen’s crown jewels. “There’s some of the best marine life in the world. Manta rays, sharks, turtles, and dolphins are all in abundance”. Morning dives is a popular experience and one that gets guests of Playpen into the hustle and bustle of the underwater highways. Make sure to pack your underwater camera, as you’ll be up close and personal with schools of Barracudas, Eagle Rays, and bales of sea turtles. The clicking of dolphins is also a common sound, as the much-loved mammal can often be seen frolicking in and around these islands. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215202/image/large-4b9cd9a5bf781a25309cdadd78ace3c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215202">Life on board this yacht embodies French Polynesia as it strikes a perfect balance of serenity and adventure – how the scales tip is entirely down to you. Kitted out with chic and elegant décor, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1918" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Playpen43.28m (141'12&quot;)Richmond Yachts2007">Playpen</a> looks as mighty inside as she does out. Socialising was at the forefront of the Richmond design team’s mind, with <a href="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/companies/pavlik-design-team" target="_blank">Pavlik Design Team</a> working on the interiors and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/49" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Setzer Design Group (Company)">Setzer Design Group</a>penning her exteriors. &nbsp;As a result there are perfect places both below and on deck to indulge in the local delicacies and zingy fruit cocktails. These can be enjoyed when Captain Southgate takes you to one of his favourite destinations: Rangiora. He loves it because, “the drift diving is incredible, and the blue lagoon is an amazing natural aquarium.” It also has a pearl farm where you can “learn the traditional Tahitian process for black pearls and pick up a couple of special pieces to take home.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215207/image/large-18a3845a0bfc311613bd896cce237e67.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215207">The magic of Tahiti doesn’t stop at the shores either. The island is as rich in culture as it is biodiversity, and is home to a whole host of colourful boutiques which can be found by the waterfront of Papeete. A favourite destination for some charter guests is the vanilla plantation and, of course, the famed Bora Bora. When the sun sets and the sky erupts with stars, the charm of Tahiti really shines through. Local dancing on the beach, a pig crackling away on a spit, and rum in hand is the perfect way to wind down the evening. Southgate’s favourite thing about French Polynesia is just this: “for me, it’s all about the seclusion. Being able to have it all to yourself, being served an incredible meal on the beach with your toes in the sand.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215203/image/large-b5eeeaa743e7515e109e94b4aadaae2f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215203">Top tips for TahitiBlack or white beaches: Tahiti has them bothThe first thing that comes to mind when you think of French Polynesia are the long stretches of white beaches, broken up by swaying coconut trees and nothing else. But did you know that Tahiti is home to black beaches too? The stark contrast of the black volcanic sand and the white sea foam makes the perfect Instagram shot.Swimming with sea turtlesThere are only seven types of sea turtles in the world and five of them can be found in and around Tahiti. Don your scuba gear or throw on a snorkelling mask and you can see these magnificent animals swimming around the reefs. If you’re planning a trip for July, you’ll be able to submerge yourself in an episode of Blue Planet and watch first-hand the green sea turtle’s hatching season.&nbsp;The weird and wonderful Maraa Grotto&nbsp;If you travel only 28km south of Tahiti and venture slightly off the beaten track you’ll discover a peculiar and unforgettable gem of the island: the Mara Grotto. Nestled in the lush landscape is a fresh black water lake that is deceptively smaller than it looks.Adrenaline-fueled travelThere are many ways to get around Tahiti. Two ways shouldn’t be missed though! A helicopter ride over the island gives an unmissable aerial view of the island, allowing you to take in the majestic waterfalls from the air. A bit bumpier (and maybe just as loud) is the 4x4 safari into the deep valleys – another must!This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/news/superyacht-times-newspaper-issue-39" target="_blank">Issue 39 of SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.
