Exclusive Boat Tours in Moorea
Surrounded by jagged emerald peaks and a crystal-clear coral reef, Moorea is a true South Pacific paradise. Our luxury boat tours offer an intimate way to explore this breathtaking destination, providing access to secluded bays and vibrant marine life that remain hidden from the shore. Whether you seek a sunset cruise or an all-day adventure, we provide the ultimate maritime experience.
Luxury Vessels and Tailored Services
Our fleet in Moorea ranges from sleek motorboats and traditional outrigger canoes to spacious luxury catamarans designed for maximum comfort. Each tour is fully customizable, featuring professional local skippers who share the rich history of French Polynesia. Onboard, you can expect premium amenities including high-end snorkeling gear, fresh tropical refreshments, and often a traditional Tahitian lunch served on a private 'motu' (islet). We focus on small groups and private charters to ensure an atmosphere of exclusivity, allowing you to lounge on sun-drenched decks or dive into the warm Pacific waters at your own pace while our dedicated crew handles every detail of your maritime itinerary.
Iconic Routes through Cook’s and Opunohu Bays
A typical voyage begins with a scenic navigation through the legendary Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay, where the dramatic volcanic cliffs of Mount Rotui meet the sea. These deep-water bays offer some of the most spectacular photography opportunities in the world. As we move toward the outer reef, we visit the famous sandbars where you can swim alongside friendly stingrays and black-tip reef sharks in shallow, shimmering water. For those seeking tranquility, we anchor near the motus of Tiahura, where the current gently carries snorkelers over vibrant coral gardens teeming with tropical fish, far away from the crowded tourist spots found on the main island.
Pricing and Seamless Booking Process
The cost of a private charter in Moorea varies depending on the vessel size, duration, and level of catering requested. Prices typically start from €600 for a half-day private excursion on a premium speedboat, while full-day luxury catamaran experiences can range from €1,500 to €3,500. These rates generally include fuel, crew, and equipment. Booking is straightforward through our platform; simply select your preferred dates and group size to receive a tailored quote. We recommend booking at least three weeks in advance during the high season to secure your preferred vessel and ensure our team can accommodate any specific dietary or logistical requirements for your group.
Best Season and Island Integration
The best time to enjoy the water in Moorea is during the dry season, from May to October, when the skies are clear and the trade winds provide a pleasant breeze. If you visit between July and October, your boat tour might even include the unforgettable sight of migrating humpback whales. To complete your luxury experience, many of our guests choose to pair their nautical adventures with a stay in one of our hand-picked beachfront villas. This allows for a seamless transition from land to sea, with some vessels even offering direct pick-up from the private docks of specific luxury properties or the major resorts in the Papetoai area.

FAQ
What should I bring on one of your boat tours in Moorea?
We recommend bringing high-protection reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses to protect against the tropical sun. While we provide high-quality snorkeling equipment and towels on most charters, you are welcome to bring your own gear if preferred. Don't forget a waterproof camera or GoPro to capture the incredible underwater scenery and the dramatic mountain skylines.
Are the stingray and shark encounters safe for children?
Yes, these encounters are a highlight of Moorea boat tours and are generally very safe. The sharks are non-aggressive black-tip reef sharks, and the stingrays are accustomed to human presence. Our experienced guides monitor the water at all times and provide safety briefings to ensure guests of all ages feel comfortable and secure while interacting with the marine life in the shallow lagoons.
Can we customize the itinerary for a full-day private rental?
Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of a private charter is the ability to set your own tempo. You can choose to spend more time snorkeling in the coral gardens, enjoy a longer lunch on a private motu, or focus on sailing around the island's twin bays. Simply discuss your preferences with the captain at the start of the day or coordinate with our booking team in advance.
What is the cancellation policy for bad weather?
Your safety is our priority. If the captain determines that weather conditions are unsafe for navigation, we will first attempt to reschedule your tour to another day during your stay. If rescheduling is not possible due to your travel plans or persistent bad weather, a full refund is typically issued. Please note that light tropical rain often passes quickly and rarely results in a cancellation.
