Pitcairn Islands Cruising Guide

An online cruising guide for yachts sailing to the Pitcairn Islands.

Overview

Pitcairn Island is one of the most isolated communities on the planet. The island is a tiny volcanic remnant, some 300nm from the nearest populated island group. It has a population of around 50.

There is no sheltered anchorage and it is impossible to safely leave a vessel untended. Landing on the island is difficult at the best of times and can be impossible.
