Why charter a catamaran in tahiti.

If you want to make the most of your stay in Tahiti, renting a catamaran is a must. From the waters of the Pacific Ocean, you will enjoy a unique view of the island of Tahiti, as well as the other islands of French Polynesia, such as Bora-Bora, Raiatea and the Marquesas. A catamaran charter in Polynesia is your best way to travel to between islands and the best way to experience lagoon life.

Departing from the port of Papeete or any other port in Tahiti, you can take off in the direction you wish. Your skipper will pilot the boat to take you around the islands, so you can enjoy the experience to the full, whether with family, or with friends. With its shallow draft and stability, a catamaran is your best ally for comfortable life on board as well as sailing. Kitesurfing, tiare flowers, turquoise waters and mountainous islands: relax, you’re sailing in Polynesia.

How to charter a boat in Tahiti

SAIL Tahiti offers catamaran charter in Tahiti. Our catamarans are privately owned by individuals who have decided to offer their boats for charter.   Simply inform us for your group size, your dates and give us some ideas of what you’d like to do during your catamaran charter and we’ll take care of the rest!

How does a yacht charter work in Tahiti?

Boat rental in Tahiti begins with defining your requirements. You need to know how long you want your charter to last, how many people you’d like to take part in the adventure, what the dates of your stay are, and so on. With this information, you’ll be able to choose the catamaran that best suits your needs. For each catamaran, you’ll find a description of the boat to learn more about its equipment. In particular, you can find out how many berths are available.

You’ll also find plenty of photos of the catamaran, so you can see what it looks like inside and out. If you have any further questions about a particular catamaran, please don’t hesitate to contact our teams. We’ll be delighted to tell you more about our boats, and how boat rental in Tahiti works with our services.

What’s more, if you’ve fallen in love with a boat and would like to proceed with a yacht charter in Tahiti, you can book your stay by getting in touch with our teams. We’ll accompany you step by step to ensure that the catamaran you’ve chosen meets your requirements, and we’ll make sure you get a tailor-made offer. We can then take care of the administrative side of the booking, so all you have to do is enjoy your cruise afterwards.

What types of boats are available for charter in Tahiti?

In Tahiti, there are many different boats to choose from, depending on your budget. You could even consider cruising on a luxury yacht, but these vessels can be difficult to access and represent quite a budget.

A catamaran is an excellent choice to enjoy an adventure without sacrificing comfort,. With its roomy interior and large cockpit, you can accommodate bigger groups as needed.. There are even catamarans equipped to take advantage of certain activities to make your adventure all the more fun, live diving, surfing, paddleboarding, and wing foiling.

Discover our exclusive charter itineraries.

How many cabins are there on our catamarans?

The number of cabins on a catamaran varies from model to model. What’s more, it’s important to distinguish between the number of cabins and the number of berths. A cabin can contain several berths. So, when it comes to chartering a boat in Tahiti, we recommend that you consider the number of guests that can be accommodated on each boat. This way, you can be sure that everyone will have a berth throughout the cruise. Then you can consider the number of cabins for logistical and privacy reasons, as well as the number of bathrooms on the boat.

Even if a catamaran has only small but cozy spaces for resting, it’s quite possible to enjoy a very comfortable stay. Take a look at the photos of our boats to see for yourself. Sleeping accommodations are comfortable and you can enjoy real privacy at night, despite the small size of the rooms, which is more than made up for by the outdoor relaxation areas.

How much does a yacht charter in Tahiti cost?

The price of a catamaran charter in Tahiti varies according to several factors, such as the type of boat chosen, the rental period and, of course, the duration. We offer preferential prices for early bookings and longer periods.

Boat size and model

The price of a yacht charter in Tahiti depends above all on the model chosen. Indeed, some boats are larger, more fully equipped or more luxurious than others, which inevitably means an additional cost for their reservation. We therefore advise you to choose a boat that suits your budget. Bear in mind that this is a holiday that you’ll be sharing with several people, so you may well want to consider splitting the cost of your Tahiti boat rental so that it’s less of a burden for you.

Charter period

The rental period also plays an important role in boat rental in Tahiti. In fact, there are certain periods that are more popular than others. This is particularly true of the so-called dry season, which runs from April to October. Hiring a boat during this period is generally more expensive than at other times of the year. That said, you’ll enjoy a mild, pleasant climate all year round, so you can make the most of your yacht charter in Tahiti.

Onboard activities

Some catamarans allow you to enjoy a wide range of water sports with dedicated equipment. Your yacht charter in Tahiti could be the perfect opportunity to try your hand at kiteboarding, foiling, surfing, diving, wakeboarding, paddleboarding or kayaking, for example. So don’t hesitate to opt for a boat rental in Tahiti that offers these services, and make the most of your stay to discover a multitude of activities in the most beautiful settings.

In fact, it’s entirely possible to benefit from the presence of a water sports coach on request. You’ll benefit from the expertise of a coach to help you learn how to use the different equipment and even progress during your stay. If you’re looking for a dynamic, sporty vacation, don’t hesitate to ask for a water sports coach and opt for a boat rental in Tahiti with a range of equipment.

Which are Polynesia’s most beautiful islands?

French Polynesia is a vast expanse of islands in the Pacific Ocean: 118 islands and atolls spread over a territory the size of Western Europe. The itinerary of your catamaran charter in Polynesia will therefore depend on the time you wish to devote to your cruise. Longer charters will take you to the Marquesas Islands, a wildly beautiful archipelago. You’ll discover the magnificent anchorages of Nuku Hiva, Hiva Oa, Tahuata and the famous Baie des Vierges at Fatu Hiva.

The Society Archipelago, made up of the Windward Islands and Leeward Islands, is Polynesia’s most densely populated archipelago. It’s the easiest in terms of navigation, with relatively short distances. The landscapes are varied, combining high volcanic islands and enchanting lagoons.

Don’t miss the famous volcanic island of Tahiti, home to the capital Papeete. Nearby, the neighboring island of Moorea is a veritable playground for fans of water sports and marine animal watching. You can then continue your cruise to the Leeward Islands, where you’ll find the wildest Huahine, vanilla island Tahaa, sacred Raiatea and the dreamy lagoon of Bora Bora.

The Tuamotu Islands, Polynesia’s largest archipelago, is ideal for disconnecting from the world on its heavenly atolls and indulging in water sports. The atolls are veritable oases of underwater life in the middle of the vastness of the Pacific. The passes are among the world’s most famous diving spots. Here you’ll rub shoulders with tuna, bonito, king mackerel, trevally and various species of shark, from the harmless blacktip to the impressive and enigmatic great hammerhead.

When is the best time to sail in Polynesia?

The best time to charter a catamaran in Polynesia is during the dry season, from April to October, but you can sail in Polynesia all year round. Temperatures are warm, and the steady trade winds allow you to sail in peace in the magnificent lagoons of the Polynesian archipelagos.

The Marquesas, located closer to the equator, are an ideal archipelago for sailing from December to March, as the warm season here is less rainy than elsewhere in Polynesia.

Located in the middle of the Pacific, at 18 degrees south latitude, Polynesia’s Société archipelago, with its pleasant tropical climate, calm lagoons and magnificent seabed, is an ideal destination for a catamaran cruise. Sailing from island to island and through the lagoons is relatively easy.

Ask our team your questions!

Do you still have doubts about the destination you’d like to choose for your adventure, about the type of boat best suited to your stay, or simply about how to organize your week on board? Don’t hesitate to contact our teams to prepare your departure and choose the cruise that best suits your desires!

About Tahiti

Tahiti is the largest of the islands that make up French Polynesia, our Tahiti catamaran charters allow you to experience a set of 118 volcanic and coral islands and atolls located in the South Pacific Ocean. Of all the islands, Tahiti is the economic, cultural, and political center of French Polynesia. Located halfway between Los Angeles and Sydney, Australia, the island is divided into Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti. Tahiti Nui is the bigger of the two and is located in the northwestern part of the island. It is also home to three extinct volcanic mountains, including Mount Orohena, the tallest in French Polynesia. Tahiti Iti is a smaller southwest sister island that is still connected to the main island. The Little Tahiti is only accessible by boat and is more remote and tranquil. It is also home to the legendary surfing spot of Teahupoo. Our Tahiti yacht charters allows you to explore the waters and experience what the islands have to offer.

Guide to Tahiti

The epitome of heaven on earth

Dripping with indulgence and teeming with cosmopolitan luxury, Tahiti evokes images of crystal-blue waters, sun-kissed sandy beaches and vibrant coral reefs, though in reality it offers all of this and more. Saturated in golden sun, this otherworldly destination moves at an indolent pace where expectations are not only met but surpassed.

Beautiful and impossibly romantic, the island of Tahiti lies within the glorious archipelago of the ‘Society Islands’ within the heart of the French Polynesia . This tropical locale is brimmed with a glorious coastline, peppered with secluded beaches and drenched in glistening crystalline waters all of which is enveloped in a rich aroma of sweet wild flowers. Highly regarded as one of the ‘last untouched paradises’, Tahiti is an idyllic charter destination. With naturally made lagoons and passes which teem with abundant marine life and coral fringed reef, this superb destination is perfect for a sailing yacht charter against a backdrop of towering mountain summits.

Papeete is the bustling capital city of Tahiti and home to a warm and welcoming ambience. Take a walking tour of the lively city and discover all the treasures that this cosmopolitan capital holds. With sprawling markets selling just about anything, you can browse the array of luminous black pearls, unique Tahiti crafts, pretty floral arrangements and luscious ripe fruits.

A short cruise away, Tahiti’s tranquil sister island Moorea exudes a palpable South Seas island charm and a slow-paced way of life. Deemed as the ‘magical island’, Moorea is the epitome of a peaceful paradise vacation. Cruise along the stunning valley of Opunohu bay which is framed by verdant landscape beauty and intriguing archaeological sites. With peaceful meadows edged by peaks of luscious greenery and majestic beauty, Moorea is a wonderland of simple island pleasures.

Keen divers will adore the atolls of Tahiti where some of the most incredible dive sites in the world await amongst deserted sandy beaches and picture perfect privacy. A yacht charter will allow for true isolation with the opportunities to cruise in completely secluded areas where you can enjoy the unspoiled islets and excellent diving locations without crossing paths with anybody else.

Steeped in luxurious indulgence, avid adventure and boutique resorts, this true yachting paradise is perfect for charterers looking to be inspired as they discover Tahiti and the stunning surrounding areas of the French Polynesia to their hearts content.

The best time for a yacht charter in Tahiti is during their winter months, which run from April to November. This dry season has lower humidity, temperatures in the mid-80s, and hardly any rain or storms. Additionally, if you prefer a sailing yacht, these months offer constant southeasterly trade winds that temper the heat from the sun and fill the sails of your yacht.

Water Conditions : The waters of the South Pacific are inviting year-round, with temperatures hovering in the mid-to-high 70s. Typically, the swells are calm, although they do climb in the wet season.

Looking for some inspiring reasons to consider chartering a yacht in Tahiti? From postcard-worthy moorings to unforgettable sea adventures, here are some of the reasons to consider experiencing Tahiti by superyacht:

World-Class Snorkeling and Diving

Tahiti – the largest of the Society Islands – and the nearby Leeward Islands boast some of the world’s best snorkeling. Nowhere else on Earth will you find such rich, rare and abundant marine life. Nearly every lagoon – dazzlingly with that world-renowned aquamarine color – is dotted with a coral reef. And dolphins, porpoises, sea turtles, neon-hued reef fish and vibrant corals call these reefs home.

Simply stated, Tahiti is the world’s best destination for an unforgettable snorkeling and diving adventure.

Fortunately, all these world-class snorkeling spots are, quite literally, at your doorstep. Wake up. Enjoy a breakfast of exotic fruit prepared by your personal chef. Then, your day of snorkeling begins.

Your crew knows the region’s dive spots like the back of their hands. That means you can avoid the overcrowded lagoons in favor of hidden, off-the-beaten-path reefs, coves, and diving hotspots. Not to mention, all your equipment is on board – so you can take a dive whenever you please.

Private Black-Sand Beaches

Imagine dropping anchor in a crystal-clear lagoon. A secluded black-sand beach – shrouded in palm trees and vibrant flowers – beckons you for a day of respite. You spend the day relaxing to a symphony of surf, wind and wildlife, while you feast on Polynesian-inspired eats and cocktails. You and your guests are the only souls for miles.

Sounds like paradise, right?

Well, in Tahiti and French Polynesia, this blissful scene can occur every day on your luxury yacht charter. The French republic is home to 118 islands, including more than 80+ atolls, and many of these islands remain isolated and untouched.

Choose to relax beachside for the day with drinks and a chef-prepared lunch, or ask your captain about other unique, one-of-a-kind jungle adventures. Beyond the beaches, many of French Polynesia’s atolls feature hidden waterfalls, ATV adventures, and panoramic vistas.

Fortunately, you don’t have to plan ahead. Choose your adventure as you go — your captain will make sure you experience the region’s untouched, secluded, and postcard-worthy beaches.

Mouth-Watering Polynesian Cuisine

Fancy yourself a foodie? Well, there’s nothing quite like dining aboard a superyacht. A personal chef is ready to design a Polynesian-inspired menu (with hints of French cooking) that will awaken all the senses. Try Poisson cru, a Tahitian twist on ceviche, featuring lime juice and coconut milk marinated red tuna, that will literally melt in your mouth.

Or sample the region’s exotic fruits like breadfruit, a sweet, starchy fruit unique to the region. (Of course, pineapple, banana, coconut, and fresh seafood are available in abundance in Tahiti, too.)

Want to experience a tasting menu? Or a Tahitian pairing? Let your chef craft a culinary tour of the islands that you’ll remember for ages – and feast on deck as the sunsets.

Plus, your crew can help you explore Tahiti’s numerous five-star eateries when you reach a port of call. Your crew will be happy to offer Tahitian recommendations for fine dining – like L’O à la Bouche, a gourmet eatery serving up unique island dishes – or romantic waterfront restaurants like Le Coco’s. Whatever food is on your mind, your chef will be happy to create or guide you to it.

Tahiti Yacht Charter Reviews

Here are some Tahiti charter reviews from our clients:

We had a magnificent experience on our charter in Tahiti, everything went on smoothly and the vacation was utterly enjoyable. Besides having the whole family together, the week on the yacht was like being in paradise. Climate played on our side, just one shower for 10 minutes more or less.

We had the most AMAZING time in Tahiti.  I have never seen my husband so relaxed and the crew, looked after our every need.  The food prepared by the Chef was so good and we all had a great time with the water sports.   The itinerary was perfect for us and we loved swimming every day in the pristine water at whatever cove we visited. I actually cried as we said goodbye to the crew on our last day.  An unforgettable experience.  A very big thank you to everyone involved. We will definitely be back.

Tahiti boat rentals

Tahiti is one of the islands of the French Polynesia  archipelago, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between  Australia and South America. Tahiti is also the largest island of  another one hundred and more islands included in the archipelago. The  most popular sailing itineraries may include the islands of Bora-Bora,  Raiatea, Tahaa, and Huahine. The region boasts absolutely stunning ocean  views, that is why French Polynesia is still considered to be simply a  sailing paradise and the most desired destinations to set sails in  throughout the year. The three above mentioned islands are known as the  famous Leeward Islands of Tahiti, offering some of the most exclusive  sailing facilities in the world one may only dream of.     

Sailing in French Polynesia you will be astonished by the number of  islands with different origin. Some of them are formed by volcanic  eruptions and have extremely diverse nature – rivers, lakes, waterfalls,  lagoons, canyons, lush tropical vegetation that cover valleys and  forests, thickets of trees, coconuts and bananas. The others are formed  with corals and have sandy plains covered with palm trees, surrounded by  the smooth surface of the ocean.

Sailing in the Leeward islands of French Polynesia, you may wish to  enjoy snorkelling among those reefs and exploring the magical underwater  world with its inhabitants, or check out a couple of scuba diving  locations. Find out a great number of fish species, spend some  unforgettable time watching sharks, dolphins and turtles - the nature  itself is calling to show you all it has to offer! If you are not much  about it, then you have an extensive choice of water sport activities,  as well as gastronomy and archaeological tours across the islands, when  taking a yacht charter in Tahiti.

Culture and History of Tahiti

Being a cultural centre of French Polynesia, Tahiti has a rich  and interesting historical view with the traditions going back to the  ancient times, dated as 500 year BC. Sailing in Tahiti is somehow can be  compared with exploring the bright legends and myths about the island’s  life. 

The main concept of Polynesian life is called Mana. Mana is something  that is not just a list of rules or traditions to follow, it is more  the way of life, the core of the local identity and existence. Every  single being or thing in the Universe is the part of Mana - the  self-concentrated system that is fundamental, harmonic and undisputed.  The main rule of Mana, better say its idea, is to be kind, wise and  generally ‘pure’ - then it is the right way, and Mana lives in you. 

In X-V centuries BC these islands were inhabited by MAOI who left  here ancient heritage of their complex civilization. Sanctuaries,  cairns, traditional paintings, tattoos and dances all this reflects  unique culture, religion, and a clear hierarchy of MAOI society all this  you will be able to explore during your sailing vacations in Tahiti.

 English captain Samuel Wallis and  French sailor Louis-Antoine de  Bougainville, Cook first discovered these lands in XVII. Original name  "Polynesia" was given by sailors who simply described with this word  "many islands" in the southern sea. These islands are also famous for a  well-known Captain William Blyth, who came here on "Bounty" frigate to  collect breadfruit tree sprouts - food for the slave Caribbean  plantations, but faced for the most incredible rebellion in the history  of seafaring. Polynesian monarch Pomare V gave these lands to France and  starting from 1984 French Polynesia became one of the French overseas  territories, but still has it’s autonomy – President, the Council of  Ministers and the legislative assembly. France is only responsible for  legal, financial and military issues. All guests in airport are greet  with flower necklace made from gardenia, symbol of Tahiti and see off  with a necklace made of shells.

Fortunately connection with Europe did not influence a lot local way  of life. Renting a boat in French Polynesia you will be amazed by the  life that still goes on in its leisurely pace. Here you will drink   coconut water from the cup made of coconut shell and eat from a plate  made of palm fronds.

Sailing in Tahiti

Water and air temperature +20 28C, hospitable people, nice  service, lapping waves, warm sand and the fresh ocean breeze will  delight sailors throughout the year. Picnic on a deserted island with  national dish - Tahitian salad of raw fish under the coconut milk. Songs  with ukulele and dancing in a sunset, swimming with dolphins you can  feed; diving with sharks and rays, visiting black pearl farm, huge  turtles, fishing from shore using a spear – truly unforgettable sailing  vacation in French Polynesia!

18 Polynesian islands spread over 5 archipelagoes where Society  Archipelago is the most popular among sailors. Tahiti, Moorea, Bora  Bora, Huahine are the islands formed on the top of extinct volcanoes,  with high mountains, lush vegetation and lagoons in the shape of crown.

 Tahiti is the main island of the archipelago with urban  infrastructure and is developed more than others. Papeete is the capital  with international airport, skyscrapers and luxurious villas in  tropical gardens located under the palm trees. It is a mountainous  island while city and port are guarded by reef. Two islands the Great  and Small Tahiti are connected by a small isthmus.

 Moorea Island has a shape in form of heart surrounded by the bronze  surface of the ocean with chain of coral reefs. Here you will find white  sandy beaches, coral, crystal-clear lagoon, a variety of entertainment,  fruit plantations in the mountains. All these beauties attract artists,  jewelers, writers from different countries. In Polynesian Tiki village  you can dive into the real world of locals.

Bora Bora Island  is a lagoon, surrounded by a mountain range with  three peaks. Otemanu is necklace of black pearls - an archipelago of  small coral islands Motu with scenic beauty, ancient temples and  mountains.

Cuisine of Tahiti

Tahitian culinary traditions and history is a discrete topic to  talk about, due to several reasons. One of them may be already the  fact, that this region is called French Polynesia, probably that is why  local cuisine has very much of its so-called French flavour. Besides,  traditions of Polynesian cooking required special methods, techniques  and approaches, for example, using open fire and wood or coal as a fuel,  ideally avoiding cooking with modern cookers and kitchen facilities  like ovens or grillers. Generally, Tahitian menu may include an  extensive list of vegetable-based foods provided in a variety of healthy  and sophisticated fish and meat courses. Be prepared to taste tropical  fruits in the majority of Tahitian dishes and meals. Vegetable and fruit  leaves are often used for wrapping and serving food in Tahiti.  Absolutely, the food of Tahiti is mouth-watering, and you should give it  a try. Below you may wish to find a shortlist of traditional dishes,  commonly served in Tahiti:

Poisson Cru. In French, ‘poisson cru’ means ‘raw fish’. So, as you  may guess, it is the main ingredient of this Tahitian specialty. Poisson  Cru (though called not like this among the locals) is generally  considered to be the national dish of French Polynesia. Basically, it  can be made not only of tuna, as it is supposed to be made, but using a  variety of any other fish. Though only fresh fish is used, it should be  freezed to prevent any risk of bacteria in it. 

Ma’a Tahiti. Sailing in French Polynesia, do not miss the chance to  try this authentic local food specialty - ma’a dishes. This is a type of  food (actually, can include whatever: pig, fish, crab or chicken)  cooked with the help of traditional Polynesian oven, often placed right  in the sand among the hot stones, that form a stove.

Considering a yacht charter in Tahiti, please pay attention to the  fact, that the island attracts many travellers all the year round and  remains one of the desired sailing and holiday destinations. If you wish  the true Tahitian culture and celebrations, plan to come in May or  July: at this time you have great chances to try sophisticated local  cuisine and take part in traditional events, which tourists are always  very welcome to.

Weather And Climate In Tahiti

The Island of Tahiti enjoys commonly pleasant and warm climate  with a lot of sunshine. In winter, which is considered to be dry season,  the temperatures are slightly lower, showing the averages around 25°C -  29°C (78°F - 85°F), with more frequent winds. The best time to sail in  Tahiti amy be the period lasting from May to September, when the  easterly winds begin to blow, providing desired cruising conditions.  Mentioning the summer season, it is usually very hot and humid, starting  in November and lasting until the end of March.

Sailing Conditions And Places To Visit in Tahiti

The Leeward Islands of French Polynesia offer a unique yacht  charter destination, that you will most likely never forget. Sail around  the magnificent groups of islands and drop an anchor in the azure  waters of a lagoon. Enjoy inshore navigation and let yourself relax  nearby the beautiful reefs when hopping among the islands 

Featuring on all these islands are the well-marked deep turquoise  lagoons that provide smooth inshore sailing, and safe, sheltered havens.  Gaps in the encircling reefs give easy access to blue water and your  next island. The passages are short, but still exciting. Sailing in  Tahiti, you may wish to navigate your itinerary to the islands of  Huahine, Tahaa and, of course, Bora-Bora.

Are you currently planning a Vacation or Honeymoon to Bora Bora and Tahiti? Or, do you just have questions about the destination? Either way, we can help.

When you commission your private voyage through Venture Tahiti and Tahiti Yacht Charter, your culinary preferences are not forgotten.  In addition to your English-speaking Skipper, you will be accompanied on your private charter by a hostess who will also prepare all of your meals.  Prior to your trip, your Venture Tahiti Concierge will contact you and ask you to share your preferences for food and drink.  Your hostess will accommodate any food allergies or special diets as well.  

All of your meals (continental breakfast, lunch and dinner) are included during your cruise, with the exception of lunch on your first and last days.  Your included dining will commence with dinner on the day you embark and end with a continental breakfast on your final day.  Juice and hot drinks are included with your continental breakfast.  However, drinking water and other drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cruise) are not included in your package pricing.  You will have the opportunity to have the galley stocked with your favorite cocktails, liquor, beer, wine, water, and soft beverages as well.  A price list which is generally about 10% higher than local supermarket pricing will be presented to you when you are asked for your cuisine preferences.

Your private yacht experience through Venture Tahiti is a never ending “excursion”.  However, there are many opportunities for additional land and water-based activities along the way.  On your voyage, you will have the opportunity to swim in magnificent lagoons (with sharks and rays, should you choose to).  You can also take advantage of the included sea kayak or stand-up paddle boarding equipment, floating hammocks, snorkeling gear, and maybe even a sunset cruise (weather allowing).  These non-motorized experiences are included in the price of your charter.

For an additional charge, there will be local options depending on your choice of itinerary, including shopping on Huahine, touring a vanilla plantation on Taha’a, or visiting the Bora Bora’s Lagoonarium to see additional aquatic life.  If you choose an itinerary featuring Bora Bora, you may even desire to schedule a massage at the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort’s famous Thalasso Spa.

All our boats have 4 double cabins and 2 or 4 bathrooms, depending on the model. They can take up to 10 guests. The “Classic” types are much appreciated by families and groups of friends and represent an excellent value-for-money. Our “Grande Croisière” models, equipped with generator, air conditioning and water maker, are ideal for sailing in the Tuamotu, where there are water shortages. The standard of comfort is that of a home. We organize private cruises, with or without crew, for couples or more. The only other persons on board will be your crew and they know how to make themselves unobtrusive whenever it is appropriate.

The Deck Plan shown is for the Lagoon 40.

The sand massages your feet, warm water welcomes you like an old friend; ambition falls away as you watch the sun etch palm fronds on the beach. This is a place that is easy to love, difficult to leave, as so many before you have discovered. Come.
