Bora Bora is inevitable but only owes it to its lagoon. Tahaa and its wonders was one of our favorite places with the manta ray washing station, its pearl grove and its vanilla plantations a joy.

Our experience with Thibaut was a wonderful time and too short, but we were on a schedule at the end of our 50th anniversary celebration and had to get at least one sail in with a local traditional Wharram Cat owner. He brought some very tasty fruits and juice to keep us refreshed as we toured around the lagoon, enjoying the sun go down. We shared sailing stories and boats we've enjoyed in the past. I hope we get a chance to sail together longer in the future. Our thanks for a lovely final taste of Tahiti before flying home. Highly recommend for a nice genuine knowledgeable experience.

Our family of three had an amazing week with David on the beautiful and modern catamaran Tiva. The itinerary was full of the best activities around the four islands we visited. David is very knowledgeable about the islands and is an experienced captain. He and his crew are very friendly and David is an exceptional chef. We highly recommend David, Tiva and the Leeward islands!

Thibaut was an amazing captain who ensured we had a sublime experience. He went over and above and even facilitated a volleyball game in the middle of the Pacific Ocean! If you are looking for great time with sun and fun, book here. Thanks Thibaut! 10/10

Our trip with David was fantastic. The boat was very comfortable for our family of 4. David cooked fantastic meals even catering to our picky teenager. We visited beautiful coral where we got to swim and snorkel. We even spent an afternoon on a lovely beach where we saw sharks and stingrays up close. Moorea is a beautiful island and being able to see and visit different places from the water really enhanced our trip. We would not hesitate to take another trip with David in the future!

Our night on Nico's catamaran was unforgettable. He went above and beyond to make my boyfriend’s birthday special, fulfilling all my requests with great care. The chef's meals were amazing, and Nico's kindness made our stay perfect. Highly recommend!

Bora Bora est un inévitable mais ne le doit qu'a son lagon. Tahaa et ses merveilles a été un de nos lieux préférés avec la station de lavage des raies manta, sa perleraie et ses vanillerais un bonheur.

The price of chartering a catamaran in French Polynesia can vary depending on the season. The average price will be around 300 euros per day in the low season. Prices may increase during the high season. In French Polynesia, the high season months are from June to the end of August. If you want to rent a boat during these months, we recommend you to look two months in advance and start the rental process as soon as possible.

You can also rent a sailboat in French Polynesia to sail around the islands. It is an experience not to be missed!

However, please note that some boat owners or companies require to have a licence to ensure the proper use of the boat. We recommend that you have a nautical CV explaining your sailing experience and the boats you have sailed on.
