Luxury Fleet and Inclusive Group Services

Sailing the Society Islands: Best Routes
Starting your journey from Marina Taina in Papeete opens up a world of legendary sailing routes. A popular itinerary for groups involves a short crossing to Moorea, where you can anchor in Opunohu Bay or Cook’s Bay, surrounded by dramatic volcanic peaks. For longer charters, head toward the leeward islands of Huahine, Raiatea, and the world-famous Bora Bora. These waters are protected by coral reefs, providing calm conditions ideal for group socializing. You will find hidden sandbars for private picnics and vibrant coral gardens perfect for group snorkeling excursions, all while enjoying the steady trade winds that make French Polynesia a sailor’s paradise.
Pricing, Logistics, and Booking Process
The cost of group catamaran rentals in Tahiti varies based on the size of the vessel, the season, and the level of service required. Generally, prices for a fully crewed large catamaran start from €1,500 to €3,500 per day. Factors such as Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA), fuel, and local taxes are typically calculated separately. Booking with Charter & Villas is straightforward: once you select your dates and group size, our specialists handle the contract and itinerary planning. We recommend booking at least six to nine months in advance for peak periods to ensure the availability of our most popular high-capacity catamarans.
Best Season and Island Combinations
The prime window for sailing in Tahiti is during the dry season, which runs from May to October, offering clear skies and refreshing breezes. While the wet season from November to April is warmer, it can bring more humidity and rainfall. To maximize your experience, many groups choose to combine a week-long catamaran charter with a stay in a luxury overwater villa on the main island or Moorea. This 'land and sea' approach allows your party to enjoy the vibrant culture and hiking of the islands before retreating to the seclusion of your private yacht for a journey through the outer atolls.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacity for group catamaran rentals in Tahiti?
Most sailing catamarans in Tahiti are licensed for 8 to 12 guests for overnight charters due to cabin configurations. However, for day events and celebrations, we offer larger power catamarans and event-specific vessels that can accommodate up to 30 or 40 passengers. We always tailor the vessel choice to your specific group size and safety requirements.
Do I need a license to rent a catamaran for a group?
If you choose a bareboat rental, the lead sailor must provide a valid nautical CV and license recognized by French Polynesian authorities. However, most of our group catamaran rentals are provided with a professional captain. This ensures the safety of your party and allows everyone to relax and enjoy the scenery without the responsibility of navigation and anchoring.
What is included in the 'all-inclusive' group packages?
Standard all-inclusive packages typically cover the yacht rental, the crew's wages, all meals prepared on board, snacks, and basic beverages. It also includes the use of onboard equipment like kayaks and snorkeling sets. It is important to note that alcoholic beverages, specialized shore excursions, and crew gratuities are usually billed as extras unless otherwise specified in your custom quote.
Can we customize the itinerary for our group trip?
Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of a private charter is the flexibility to set your own pace. While our captains will suggest the best spots based on weather and sea conditions, you can choose which islands to visit, how long to stay at each anchorage, and whether you prefer secluded nature spots or visiting local island villages for cultural experiences.
