Tahiti Yacht Charters
Search Tahiti Yacht Charter
The French Polynesia has inspired some of the world’s greatest creatives, from the author Robert Louis Stevenson to painter Paul Gauguin, and is popular with sailors worldwide. It’s not hard to see why these remote groups of islands, each with their own character, are known as the textbook definition of paradise.
Cruise the Society Islands and the Windward Islands of Tahiti, and Moorea, and the Leeward Islands of Huahine, Bora-Bora, Tahaa, and Raiatea, the ‘Sacred Island’, where you’ll begin your charter adventure. You’ll find mountainous peaks that jut into blue skies and glittering lagoons to explore. Get close to nature in the South Pacific by swimming and snorkelling with rays, turtles and colourful marine life. Don’t forget to join in traditional Tahitian dancing ashore and try the fabulous local dishes, such as marinated raw fish with coconut milk.
Tahiti offers a cruising ground with line-of-sight navigation in the calm waters behind the reefs and exhilarating open-water passages. Wind speeds generally range from 10-15 knots and the tidal range is negligible, but narrow passes between reefs need careful navigation. Temperatures range from a low of 25ºC to a high of 35ºC in summer. The ideal sailing time in Tahiti is April to October. Keep in mind that wind speeds between July and August can reach 20-25 knots, creating swells of 3-5 feet, which makes this a location for an experienced sailor.
You can fly to Los Angeles with British Airways or Virgin Atlantic from the UK and onto Tahiti’s Papeete international Airport (PPT) with the national carrier, Air Tahiti Nui. For the US, you can fly with Qantas or the national carrier direct to Papeete.
Take your time to explore Papeete-Tahiti before taking a local charter plane to Raiatea. The base is just a short drive from the local airport.
