Bareboat Sailboat Rentals in Moorea

To qualify for bareboat sailboat rentals, you typically need a recognized international sailing certificate such as an RYA Day Skipper or ASA 104, along with a sailing resume. If you lack these, we can provide a local skipper for the first few days to verify your skills or assist you throughout the entire duration of your Moorea charter.

Yes, beyond the base rental fee, you should budget for fuel, water refills, provisioning, and end-of-charter cleaning fees. Mooring fees in certain protected areas of the lagoon and a refundable security deposit are also standard. We provide a transparent breakdown of these estimated costs at the time of your initial inquiry.

While it is possible, the passage from Moorea to the Leeward Islands like Bora Bora involves roughly 100 nautical miles of open ocean sailing. This requires significant offshore experience and a longer charter duration (minimum 7-10 days). Most bareboat sailors prefer to focus on the Moorea and Tahiti circuit or arrange a one-way charter ending in Raiatea.

Navigating the Moorea lagoon is safe for experienced sailors who can read nautical charts and markers. The lagoon has well-defined passes and buoyage systems. However, you must remain vigilant regarding coral heads and depth changes. We provide detailed local charts and a GPS with pre-loaded safe routes to ensure your navigation around the island is as secure as possible.
