The Gambier Islands, in the southeastern part of French Polynesia, offer a remote and adventurous sailing experience. Trade winds here generally range between 10 and 20 knots, but conditions can vary, requiring skilled navigation. Unlike other island groups, the Gambiers feature deeper waters with fewer protective reefs, adding a unique challenge. The dry season spans from August to March, with a humid season from April to July. Temperatures remain warm year-round, averaging between 25°C and 30°C, with brief, unpredictable rainfall. These islands provide an off-the-beaten-path experience for sailors seeking a true adventure.
