Why the EX 60 is Perfect for the Tahitian Sea State
Tahiti and its surrounding islands like Moorea and Tetiaroa require a vessel that can handle both the deep blue swells of the Pacific and the shallow, turquoise lagoons. The Tiara Yachts EX 60 is uniquely suited for this environment for several reasons. Firstly, its shallow 4-foot draft allows the captain to navigate closer to the white sand beaches of Motu Tapu than larger displacement yachts could ever dream of.
The hull design is optimized for the trade winds that characterize French Polynesia. Even when the "Mara’amu" wind blows from the south, the EX 60 remains stable and dry. The enclosed salon provides a climate-controlled sanctuary from the tropical sun, while the expansive cockpit allows for alfresco dining under the stars once you drop anchor in the protected lee of a volcanic peak.
Charter Pricing for 2026 in French Polynesia
Pricing for a Tiara Yachts EX 60 charter varies based on the season and the duration of the booking. In Tahiti, the high season typically aligns with the dry winter months (May to October), while the low season occurs during the more humid summer months (November to April).
| Season | Daily Rate (EUR) | Weekly Rate (EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Low Season (Nov–Apr) | €4,500 - €5,200 | €28,000 - €32,000 |
| Mid Season (May & Oct) | €5,500 - €6,200 | €35,000 - €39,000 |
| High Season (Jun–Sep) | €6,500 - €7,500 | €42,000 - €48,000 |
Please note that these rates are base prices. When you rent a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Tahiti, additional costs such as the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) usually apply to cover fuel, food, and specific requests.
Exclusive Itineraries: From Marina Taina to Beyond
Most luxury charters begin at Marina Taina in Punaauia, the premier yachting hub of Tahiti. From here, the EX 60’s speed allows for ambitious itineraries that slower catamarans cannot achieve.
- 1-Day Itinerary: Depart Marina Taina at 09:00 for a crossing to Moorea. Spend the morning swimming with stingrays and sharks in Opunohu Bay. Enjoy a gourmet lunch on the aft deck before cruising to Cook’s Bay for a scenic photo opportunity and returning to Tahiti by sunset.
- 3-Day "Royal" Itinerary:
- Day 1: Tahiti to Tetiaroa. This private atoll (formerly owned by Marlon Brando) is a 3-hour cruise. Anchor in the pristine lagoon for snorkeling.
- Day 2: Explore the Bird Island bird sanctuary and enjoy a beach BBQ. Overnight at anchor under the Milky Way.
- Day 3: Early morning cruise back to Tahiti, stopping at the "Sandbar" near the airport for a final swim.
- 7-Day Leeward Islands Voyage: For a full week, the EX 60 can be relocated or cruised to Huahine, Raiatea, and the world-famous Bora Bora. You can view our full range of luxury destinations to see how these islands connect.
Logistics: Marinas and Berthing in Tahiti
Navigating the logistics of a yacht charter in French Polynesia is simplified by the modern infrastructure in Papeete. Marina Taina is the primary base, offering full services, high-speed fuel docks, and proximity to luxury supermarkets for provisioning. If you are staying at a resort like the InterContinental Tahiti or the Hilton Hotel Tahiti, tender pickups can often be arranged directly from the hotel dock.
When cruising to Moorea, the yacht will typically use moorings in Opunohu Bay to protect the delicate coral reefs. In more remote areas like Tetiaroa, the EX 60’s advanced anchoring system and Seakeeper stabilization ensure a comfortable night's sleep even in open-water anchorages.

Best Time to Visit and Sea Conditions
The best months to rent a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Tahiti are between May and October. During this window, the humidity is low, and the visibility underwater can exceed 30 meters, making it ideal for diving and snorkeling. The "Dry Season" offers consistent easterly trade winds, which provide a cooling breeze without creating uncomfortable sea states for a yacht of this size.
The "Wet Season" (November to March) brings warmer water and shorter, intense tropical bursts of rain. While the sea is often calmer during this time, the humidity is higher. However, for those seeking privacy, this is when the lagoons are at their quietest.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum capacity when renting a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Tahiti?
For day charters, the Tiara Yachts EX 60 is licensed to carry up to 12 guests plus crew. For overnight or weekly charters, the yacht comfortably accommodates 6 guests in three beautifully appointed cabins: a Master stateroom, a VIP forward cabin, and a twin guest room.
Do I need a license to charter a Tiara Yachts EX 60 in Tahiti?
No, all our EX 60 charters in French Polynesia are "crewed," meaning a professional captain is provided. This is mandatory due to the complex reef navigation required in the Tahitian lagoons, ensuring your safety and allowing you to relax completely.
Can we customize the itinerary for a 2026 booking?
Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of a private charter is the flexibility. While we provide suggested routes to Moorea or Tetiaroa, your captain will work with you daily to adjust the schedule based on weather conditions and your personal preferences, whether you prefer secluded beaches or vibrant coral gardens.
