About New Caledonia - an ideal Bareboat Charter Holiday Destination

For Captain James Cook, the 1770s were great years for discovering things and many yachtsmen owe the roving Tyke their eternal gratitude. Two years before he discovered gum trees and kangaroos, he came across a group of South Pacific Islands which so much reminded him of Scotland, a country only a few miles north of where he was born, that he called them New Caledonia (Latin for Scotland).

Now, just because you name something doesn't automatically give you ownership of it and what with possession being nine-tenths of the law, the French have been in charge since 1853, which has not only given everyone enough time to learn the language but turned it into a Pacific province of la belle France.

The New Caledonia yacht charter cruising area known, as The Lagoon is best described as "diverse" which contrasts the city lights of Noumea, mountainous wooded coastline of the New Caledonia mainland and the idyllic Isle of Pines, an enormous outcrop of coral, almost completely made of limestone.

The world's sailing holiday lovers rate the Isle of Pines one of the best yacht charter grounds in the Pacific. You can also enjoy a bareboat charter in New Caledonia to the stunning Loyalty Islands.
