Why the Fiart 35 Seawalker is Perfect for Moorea
The geography of Moorea is defined by its dramatic volcanic spires and a protective coral reef that encircles the island, creating a calm, turquoise lagoon. The Fiart 35 Seawalker is uniquely suited for these conditions for several reasons. Firstly, its shallow draft of just 0.67 meters allows the skipper to navigate safely through the "hoa" (passes) and anchor in waist-deep water near the famous sandbanks of Les Tipaniers.
The "walkaround" design is another significant advantage. In the tropical heat of 2026, air circulation is vital; the 35 Seawalker features wide side decks that allow guests to move safely from the aft sunpad to the bow lounge while the boat is at anchor. The large hydraulic swim platform at the stern makes it effortless to slip into the water for snorkeling with blacktip reef sharks or paddleboarding in the calm waters of Opunohu Bay.

Curated Itineraries: Exploring Moorea by Sea
The main point of departure for most charters is the Vaiare Marina, located on the eastern side of the island near the ferry terminal. From here, the island’s most iconic sights are just a short cruise away.
1-Day "Luminous Lagoon" Itinerary
Start your morning by cruising north from Vaiare toward Teavaro Beach for a breakfast at anchor with views of Tahiti on the horizon. Move on to Cook’s Bay (Paopao), where the mountains rise vertically from the sea. After a gourmet lunch prepared on the Fiart’s outdoor galley, head to the Motu Tiahura area. Here, you can swim in the shallow "aquarium" section of the lagoon, famous for its abundance of tropical fish and friendly rays, before returning to the marina at sunset.
3-7 Day "Heart of Polynesia" Itinerary
A multi-day charter allows you to truly sync with the island's rhythm. Spend your first two days circumnavigating Moorea, spending nights at anchor in the deep, protected waters of Opunohu Bay. On day three, if weather permits, the Fiart 35 Seawalker’s robust hull is capable of the 15-nautical-mile crossing to Tetiaroa, the private atoll once owned by Marlon Brando. This requires a professional skipper and favorable sea states, but it offers an unparalleled level of seclusion. Alternatively, use the remaining days to explore the "Wild West" side of Moorea near Haapiti, known for its world-class surf breaks and untouched coral gardens.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Moorea
Moorea is less developed than Tahiti, which adds to its charm but requires careful logistical planning. The primary hub is Marina Vaiare, which offers fuel, water, and basic provisioning. However, the beauty of Moorea lies in its natural anchorages. Most guests prefer to spend their time moored in the bays. Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay offer excellent protection from the prevailing trade winds and have designated mooring buoys to protect the delicate coral floor. When visiting local waterfront restaurants, such as those near the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort, the Fiart’s maneuverability allows for easy approach to private docks or shallow-water anchoring.
What is Included in Your Charter?
When booking a luxury vessel like the Fiart 35 Seawalker through an agency, it is important to understand the breakdown of costs to ensure a seamless experience. Most premium charters in French Polynesia operate on a "Plus Expenses" basis or an all-inclusive day rate.
- Professional Skipper: Essential for navigating the complex reef systems of Moorea.
- VAT and Local Taxes: Usually included in the base charter fee.
- Cleaning: A standard end-of-charter cleaning fee is typically applied.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): For weekly charters, this covers fuel, food, and premium beverages (usually 30% of the charter fee).
- Water Toys: Most Fiart 35 rentals include snorkeling gear, and often a Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP).
Best Months and Sea Conditions
The best time for **renting a Fiart 35 Seawalker in Moorea** is during the Austral winter, from May to October. During this period, the "Mara’amu" (southeast trade wind) blows consistently, providing a refreshing breeze, though it can occasionally make the open ocean crossings slightly choppy. The lagoon remains calm and protected. If you are visiting in August or September, you have the added benefit of humpback whale season; the Fiart’s low-profile design provides an excellent vantage point for responsible whale watching from the deck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a license required for renting a Fiart 35 Seawalker in Moorea?
If you are opting for a bareboat rental (without a skipper), you must provide a valid international boating license and a detailed nautical CV. However, due to the complexity of the coral heads and shifting sandbanks in Moorea’s lagoon, we highly recommend a skippered charter to ensure your safety and the protection of the marine environment.
How many people can comfortably fit on the boat for a day trip?
While the Fiart 35 Seawalker is certified for up to 12 people, for maximum comfort during a luxury charter, we recommend groups of 8 to 10. This ensures everyone has ample space on the sunbeds and around the cockpit dining table.
What happens if the weather is bad during my charter?
Moorea is a tropical destination, and brief rain showers are common even in the dry season. The Fiart 35 Seawalker is equipped with a high-quality T-Top that provides shade and protection from light rain. In the event of severe weather warnings that make navigation unsafe, your charter broker will work with you to reschedule or provide a refund based on the specific terms of your contract.
Can we go to Tahiti or Bora Bora when chartering a Fiart 35 Seawalker in Moorea?
The crossing to Tahiti is roughly 17 miles and is very manageable in a Fiart 35 Seawalker on a calm day. However, Bora Bora is over 140 miles away. While the boat is capable of the distance, it is generally too small for such a long open-ocean transit with guests on board. For Bora Bora, we recommend a local rental or a larger motor yacht.
