Private catamaran charter on the New Caledonia lagoon

Off Nouméa, the New Caledonia lagoon stretches over more than 24,000 km² of turquoise water, between the mainland and the coral barrier reef. A private catamaran charter is the finest way to discover it: at your own pace, in a small group, far from the crowds.

A private catamaran, just for you

Unlike a shared tour, here you charter the entire boat. No strangers on board: just you, your family, friends or colleagues, and a professional skipper who knows the lagoon inside out. You choose the destination, the pace and the swim stops — the day is built around what you feel like doing.

The Nirvana sailing catamaran welcomes up to 22 guests for a day trip and up to 10 on a cruise with nights aboard. Perfect for a family outing, a get-together with friends, a birthday or a corporate event.

Where to sail on the Caledonian lagoon?

There is no fixed itinerary: your skipper suggests the day's finest spots, based on the weather, the tides and your wishes. Among the must-sees:

• The Southern Lagoon and its white-sand islets (Îlot Maître, Amédée, Signal, Larégnère) within easy reach of Nouméa.
• The Grand Récif and its passes, where the barrier reef meets the open blue — an exceptional playground for diving and snorkelling.
• Secret anchorages sheltered from the wind, for lunch facing the reef or a night under the stars.

Day trip, cruise or sunset

Nirvana offers several ways to enjoy the lagoon:

• The day trip: a full outing on the turquoise water, swimming, snorkelling and lunch aboard.
• The multi-day cruise, with nights aboard to explore further and wake up facing the reef.
• The sunset: a magical evening at golden hour, perfect for a birthday or a moment for two. More about sunsets →
