Luxury Fleet and All-Inclusive Services

Each charter is designed to provide ultimate comfort, featuring shaded lounging areas, high-quality snorkeling gear, and personalized service from a professional local skipper.

We focus on boutique experiences, ensuring that every detail—from the plush seating to the safety equipment—meets the highest standards of luxury travel in the South Pacific.
Navigating the Wonders of Moorea
Your journey typically begins at the Vaiare Marina or Opunohu Bay, leading you through some of the most scenic waters in the world. A standard itinerary includes stops at the iconic Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay, where the dramatic green spires of Mount Rotui provide a breathtaking backdrop. You will have the chance to anchor near the famous sandbanks to swim with stingrays and blacktip reef sharks in crystal-clear shallows. For those seeking tranquility, we navigate toward the more secluded motus on the northern coast, offering pristine coral gardens that are teeming with tropical fish and far removed from the crowded tourist paths.
Pricing and Booking Process
The cost of a private charter in Moorea depends on the size of the vessel, the duration of the trip, and any specialized catering requests. Generally, prices for a half-day excursion start from approximately €900, while a full-day immersive experience typically ranges from €1,500 to €3,500 for larger luxury catamarans. These rates usually include fuel, crew, and basic amenities. To secure your preferred date, we recommend booking at least several weeks in advance, especially during the peak season. Our streamlined booking process via Charter & Villas allows you to finalize your itinerary and any concierge requirements with ease before you even arrive in Polynesia.
Best Time to Visit and Expert Tips
The ideal window for a day boat charter in Moorea is during the dry season, which runs from May to October, offering sunny skies and pleasant temperatures. If you visit between July and November, you may even have the extraordinary opportunity to witness humpback whales during their annual migration. To enhance your stay, many of our guests combine their maritime adventure with a stay in one of our luxury villas on the island. We recommend bringing eco-friendly sunscreen to protect the delicate reef ecosystem and a waterproof camera to capture the vibrant marine life and the dramatic emerald landscapes that make Moorea a world-class destination.

FAQ
What is included in a day boat charter in Moorea?
A standard day boat charter includes a professional captain, fuel, snorkeling equipment, and refreshments. Depending on the duration and specific boat chosen, it may also include a gourmet lunch on a private motu, towels, and stand-up paddleboards. We can customize the catering to include fine wines or specific dietary requirements upon request.
Can we customize our sailing itinerary?
Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of a private charter is the flexibility to choose where you go. While our captains have recommended routes to see the best of Cook's Bay and the stingray spots, you can spend more time at a specific snorkeling site or find a quiet cove away from other visitors.
Is Moorea suitable for a family boat trip?
Moorea is an excellent destination for families. The lagoon waters are generally very calm and shallow, making it safe for children to swim and snorkel. Our catamarans offer plenty of shade and stability, ensuring a comfortable environment for guests of all ages, from toddlers to seniors.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my charter?
Safety is our absolute priority. If the captain determines that weather conditions are unsafe for navigation, we will first attempt to reschedule your trip to another day during your stay. If rescheduling is not possible due to your travel dates or continued poor weather, a refund or credit will be provided according to our booking terms.
