The Ultimate Boat Getaway in Tahiti
Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in the sapphire waters of the South Pacific with a premium boat getaway in Tahiti. Whether you are seeking a romantic retreat or a private family adventure, our curated fleet offers the perfect vessel to explore the lush volcanic peaks and vibrant coral reefs of French Polynesia in total privacy and comfort.
Luxury Fleet and Onboard Services
Our selection for your boat getaway in Tahiti ranges from sleek sailing catamarans, ideal for navigating shallow lagoons, to majestic motor yachts equipped with every modern amenity. Each charter includes a professional crew, often consisting of a local skipper and a private chef who prepares Tahitian-inspired gourmet meals. You can expect high-end snorkeling gear, stand-up paddleboards, and spacious sun decks as standard. We prioritize comfort and intimacy, ensuring that your floating villa provides a seamless transition between the elegance of indoor living and the raw beauty of the Polynesian maritime environment.
Iconic Routes and Hidden Anchorages
Starting from Marina Taina in Papeete, your journey can lead you to the breathtaking Matavai Bay or across the Sea of Moons to the sister island of Moorea. A typical itinerary includes stops at Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay, where the dramatic mountain backdrops meet crystal-clear waters. For those seeking seclusion, the smaller 'motus' offer white sand beaches far from the main tourist tracks. Navigating the Society Islands allows you to witness incredible marine life, from playful spinner dolphins to seasonal humpback whales, all while enjoying the gentle trade winds that make this region a sailor's paradise.
Pricing and Seamless Booking Process
The cost of a private charter in French Polynesia varies depending on the vessel size, duration, and level of customization. Generally, prices for a luxury catamaran start from approximately €1,500 per day, while larger motor yachts can exceed €5,000 per day. Factors such as fuel consumption, premium provisioning, and specific docking fees at remote islands will influence the final quote. Booking with Charter & Villas is straightforward: once you select your dates and preferred yacht, our dedicated concierge team handles all logistics, from airport transfers to tailored itinerary planning, ensuring a transparent and stress-free experience.
Best Season and Travel Tips
The prime time for a maritime adventure in Tahiti is during the dry season, which runs from May to October, offering cooler temperatures and consistent sunshine. If you wish to combine your sea voyage with a land-based stay, we offer exclusive villa rentals in Punaauia or Teahupo'o to bookend your trip. We recommend packing light, high-SPF sun protection, and polarized sunglasses to fully appreciate the water's clarity. For those interested in local culture, timing your visit during the Heiva i Tahiti festival in July adds a rich layer of traditional dance and music to your tropical escape.

Prices typically start from €1,200 to €1,800 per day for a mid-range catamaran. For ultra-luxury motor yachts with full service, rates can range from €3,500 to over €10,000 per day. Seasonal demand and the age of the vessel are the primary factors affecting the price.
Can we customize the sailing itinerary around the islands?
Absolutely. Your itinerary is fully flexible. While we provide recommended routes covering Tahiti, Moorea, and Tetiaroa, you can discuss specific preferences with your captain. Whether you want to spend more time diving or find the quietest beach for a sunset dinner, the trip is tailored to you.
