Sailing the Jewels of French Polynesia
Departing from Marina Taina in Papeete, your voyage can take you through the breathtaking Society Islands. A classic route includes the high peaks of Moorea, just a short sail away, where the bays of Cook and Opunohu provide dramatic anchorages. Further leeward, the legendary lagoons of Bora Bora and Raiatea await. Raiatea, known as the 'Sacred Island', serves as a central hub for sailing, while the nearby Taha'a offers fragrant vanilla plantations and incredible coral gardens. For those seeking absolute seclusion, the Tuamotu Archipelago offers low-lying atolls like Rangiroa, famous for world-class diving and pink sand beaches, providing a stark and beautiful contrast to the volcanic majesty of the Society group.
Investment and Booking Process
The cost of chartering a luxury vessel in Tahiti varies based on the size of the yacht, the year of manufacture, and the level of customization required. Generally, prices for a fully crewed catamaran or motor yacht start from approximately €15,000 per week and can exceed €100,000 for ultra-luxury megayachts. These rates typically include the yacht and crew, while additional expenses like fuel, food, and beverages are covered by an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA), usually calculated at 30% of the charter fee. To secure your dates, we recommend booking at least six to nine months in advance, especially for the high season, through our streamlined digital platform and dedicated concierge team.
Planning Your Tahitian Escape
The best time to visit Tahiti is during the dry season, which runs from May to October, offering pleasant temperatures and consistent trade winds. While the 'summer' months from November to April are more humid, they offer calmer seas and lush landscapes, though brief tropical showers are common. To truly maximize your experience, many guests choose to combine their yacht charter with a stay in a luxury overwater villa on Bora Bora or a private estate on Tetiaroa. This 'land and sea' approach allows you to experience the vibrant local culture of the island interiors before retreating to the privacy and mobility of your own floating sanctuary.

FAQ
What is included in luxury crewed yacht charters in Tahiti?
Most charters include the yacht rental, a professional crew (captain and chef), insurance, and standard onboard equipment. Expenses such as food, alcohol, fuel, and mooring fees are usually managed through an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA), which is paid upfront and reconciled at the end of your trip.
Do I need a specific visa for a yacht charter in French Polynesia?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality. French Polynesia is an overseas collectivity of France; many travelers from the EU, USA, and Canada do not require a visa for short stays. However, always check with the French consulate and ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your stay.
Can we customize the sailing itinerary in Tahiti?
Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of a crewed charter is the flexibility. While the captain will advise based on weather and safety, you can choose which islands to visit, how long to stay at each anchorage, and what activities to prioritize, from pearl farm tours to private beach picnics.
Is it possible to dive directly from the yacht?
Many luxury yachts in Tahiti are equipped for rendezvous diving, where a local dive center meets the boat with specialized equipment. Some larger yachts carry their own dive gear and have dive-certified crew members. We can arrange specific vessels that cater to serious divers wanting to explore the Tuamotu atolls.
