Polynesia is the perfect destination for a romantic trip for two – whether it’s a honeymoon or a wedding anniversary or just a vacation.

To help loving couples to plan their cruise, we have designed private itineraries in the Leeward and Tuamotu Islands for you to choose from…

The Iti Iti (it means small small in Tahitian) – 4 days/3nights)

You’ll be aboard a 36/38-foot catamaran with your skipper who is also your guide and cook.

All meals are included. The price varies according to the season.

Three routes are possible for inter-island sailings which each take between 3 and 4 hours.

The most common: Raiatea – Taha’a – Bora-Bora. If feasible you can disembark directly at the pontoon of your destination hotel.

The most mysterious: Huahine – Taha’a – Raiatea. Huahine is a wonderful island, far removed from the traditional tourist track. From Raiatea, you can take a 15-minute flight to Bora Bora.

For those who are not the best sailors: Raiatea-Taha’a-Raiatea: Since you will never leave the mostly calm waters of the reef-protected lagoon, you are unlikely to get sea-sick. Highlights include sailing up a river, visiting a Polynesian temple site ( called a marae), visiting a manta ray sanctuary, a pearl farm and a vanilla plantation.

The Nomade Private Cruise – 7 days / 6 nights

Aboard your private 36/38-foot catamaran with skipper-guide-cook. All meals are included in the package except for two dinners, leaving you free to choose from local restaurants along the way.

The price varies depending on the season.

The route is Raiatea – Huahine – Taha’a – Bora-Bora. You will be disembarked either at your hotel pontoon, if possible, or at the quayside in Vaitape village on Bora-Bora.

Scuba diving options for the Iti Iti and Tahiti Twosome, etc.

Tahiti Yacht Charter is specialized in à la carte cruises. If you are interested in a different formula in terms of itinerary, duration or activity or in renting a yacht without skipper (provided you have the necessary experience), please contact us. We also organize scuba diving cruises with your instructor on board. Don’t hesitate to ask us for a proposal.

Would you like to vacation with friends? The catamaran is perfect for you ! Our fleet has nearly 30 catamarans, all with 4 double cabins. You are sure to find the catamaran that suits your numbers and your particular needs.

We are just the company for you

Polynesian lagoons and seas remain relatively uncrowded. You can enjoy good times with your friends while getting away from it all and enjoying the many things that Polynesia has to offer. You’ll be able to share your daily experiences and adventures, over an end-of-the-day drink and a convivial dinner. 

Active or just chilling out

You can sail by yourselves, if qualified, or in the expert hands of one of our skipper-guides. They are all very familiar with Polynesia and we choose their profile according to your wishes – calm and discreet, a storyteller, surfer, fisherman, used to children and so on.
The “100% Vacation” option lets you spend your time without any housekeeping worries thanks to our hostess-cook aboard who will take care of all provisioning and meals. You’ll wake to the smell of freshly-brewed coffee; your lunch will be waiting when you return from your morning excursion; you’ll be seated comfortably for your evening aperitif while dinner is being prepared. Menus are adapted to your own tastes and we can accommodate special meal requirements. Of course we give priority to local fresh fruits, vegetables and fish. 

A departure at your convenience

You may set off on your cruise on whichever day of the week you choose.
You will leave the marina a few hours after your arrival as soon as embarkation formalities have been completed and you’ll return the boat to Raiatea on your last day, 2 hours before your flight time or by 3.30pm at the latest. In this way you can profit from the catamaran for 8 full days. If you choose to disembark elsewhere than at our Raiatea homebase, you must plan to be there by 12 noon at the village dock.

A cruise with your children would be to offer them the precious gift of an unforgettable time with nature. Their spirit of adventure and discovery will be enhanced. They will quickly adapt to life aboard and all our vessels are well equipped for daily routines and their safety.

A tailor-made formula

All our catamarans are adapted to having children aboard, even very young ones. Forward peaks are inter-leading. A safety net runs right around the boat and small-size safety jackets are available. Everything is adapted to complement your own supervision on a permanent basis. Our crews know how to listen attentively to children aboard and help them participate in the fun of life afloat. Children’s snorkeling equipment, sea kayaks and floating hammocks are provided.
