Yacht Charter

Self drive, skippered or by the cabin


 

French Polynesia offers some of the most amazing sailing grounds in the world. Stunning islands with many sheltered anchorages, surrounded by pristine beaches and towering volcanos

 

The cruising area in the Society Islands encompasses Raitea, Bora Bora, Tahaa and Huahine, all mythical islands, just a four to five hour sail apart. Here you'll enjoy relaxed cruising in a stunning natural paradise.

 

Raiatea and Tahaa are two separate islands, 120 miles northeast of Tahiti, sharing the same lagoon among the leeward Society Islands. Raiatea is the second largest island of French Polynesia after Tahiti, and boasts lush green valleys, stunning waterfalls and pineapple and vanilla plantations.

 

The departure base is located in Faaroa Bay on the island of Raiatea, where you can experience some of the areas best sailing. It is an ideal spot to set sail from to explore the stunning local sights. Neighboring Tahaa has numerous vanilla plantations across the island, and Motu Tau Tau is a popular spot for snorkelling. 

 

Getting There:

Air Tahiti flies regularly to Raiatea from Papeete every day. Ask us for advice and bookings.

There is a good hotel in Raiatea and a couple of guesthouses, one right next to the base, if you would like to arrive a day or two earlier to explore this interesting and beautiful island.
