 Six reasons why sailing is for everyone

1. Experience everything 

Sailing is more than being on the yacht! Your captain is also your guide. Visit a pearl farm, vanilla plantation or luxury hotel, hike in the mountains, laze on a secluded beach or enjoy every water activity possible. It’s all available.

2. Personalized to you

Charter a whole yacht with captain and crew just for you and your friends or loved ones. Or book a comfortable cabin and enjoy the company of others. When you sail you can personalise everything you see and do.

3. Perfect seclusion

When you sail you are able to experience your own private paradise when you visit secluded islands, bays and beaches that remain untouched by the busy tourism that affects some other destinations.

4. Easy conditions

Inside the Polynesian lagoons you will travel on an incomparably serene ocean protected from the rolling swell outside the reef. You can relax and enjoy the service on board as if you were in a hotel.

Experience to live

Sail away on a catamaran

There’s nothing quite like cruising from island to island on a sailboat or catamaran in French Polynesia. You can rent a boat to navigate yourself, or reserve an all-inclusive package with skipper and crew, so that you can take things easy and enjoy the scenery. A sailing cruise gives you the time to discover The Islands of Tahiti in all their beauty.
