There’s no better way to discover the islands of French Polynesia than from the sea. That moment of pure magic when you first sight the jagged peaks of a volcanic island or the fringing reef of an atoll rising up out of the ocean. Numerous charter companies hire sail boats, with or without skipper, for you to sail away to the islands on a voyage of discovery.

SAILBOAT CRUISE
A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
DISCOVER THE ISLANDS OF TAHITIThe Islands of Tahiti are a veritable paradise for yachtsmen and women. With a large choice of options, from a simple cabin to an entire yacht, with family, friends, or someone special, sailing in our islands is a unique experience.
Where to stay
From furnished apartment to luxury suite, charter yachts offer the same choice of accommodation as on land – a floating hotel to suit everyone and every budget. And there’s no need to worry if you suffer from sea-sickness, because the lagoons of The Islands of Tahiti are protected by coral reefs, so the ocean swell won’t rock the boat!
Qualified crew
If you’re not an experienced yachtsman or woman, you can hire the services of a skipper and a hostess, so you can just relax and enjoy the views. The professional crews know the islands extremely well and they’ll take you to spots that you’d never find otherwise – isolated waterfalls, gathering places for manta rays, secluded shallows for swimming and snorkeling…
