I have used Hinde and Kitch on three occasions now and they have never disappointed. They go above and beyond to help with whatever is needed. Their guidance and professionalism is unparalleled, finding the perfect boat for our group and suggesting three fantastic spots for our holidays. We even got a yacht upgrade last year!

Sailing in Tonga offers a unique blend of stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality. Tonga is made up of over 170 islands, with key sailing destinations including Tongatapu, the main island with cultural experiences; Vava’u for beautiful anchorages and excellent snorkeling, and Ha’apai for its stunning coral reefs and fewer crowds.
Navigation can be challenging due to uncharted reefs and strong currents, so updated charts and local knowledge are essential. Mooring buoys are available in popular areas to protect coral, and provisioning can be done in Nuku’alofa and Vava’u, although supplies may be limited in more remote areas. A cruising permit is required for foreign-flagged vessels, and it’s important to respect local customs and marine conservation efforts. Engaging with the friendly Tongan culture and enjoying the pristine natural beauty will make for an unforgettable sailing adventure.
