Fiji Islands
Fiji is the perfect place for a yacht charter holiday. Imagine white sandy beaches, aquamarine water and swaying palms trees. Many areas of the Fijian Islands are inaccessible to tourism because of their remoteness, which gives sailing yacht charters a real scope for adventure.
Fiji, is an independent nation within the British Commonwealth comprised of more than 300 islands - only one third of them inhabited - scattered over more than 450,000 square miles of open ocean. Fiji's islands are volcanic (none are active) and have both fringing and barrier reefs teeming with colourful coral and sea creatures big and small.
The largest two islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu - occupy 87% of the total land mass of Fiji.You can imagine how tiny, tranquil and unspoiled many of the country's remaining islands must be!
The capital, Nadi, is on the island of Vita Levu. There are a couple of island groups within a few hours by sailboat from Vitu Levu. Most of the Mamanuca islands host modern international resorts.
