French Polynesia offers
world class sailing, private boat chartering, and touring opportunities
and the Tuamotu
Islands are the most remote of all the island archipelagoes.
This page is your starting guide for exploring the pristine waters
of the Tuamotu Islands of Tahiti Polynesia.
SAILING & BOAT CHARTERS
The majority
of sailing and boat charter companies choose to make Raiatea their home base
for a number of reasons, the most obvious one
being access to the town of Uturoa, and all the businesses and energy that exists
there. The other reason is that Raiatea is the center for nearly all boating
services, with 3 marinas, 2 full service boatyards and several businesses
catering to just about any boaters needs or desires.
Below is a list of sailing and boat charter companies
for you to experience these waters with. Cruise around the lagoon for a relaxing
afternoon on a daily rental or venture out of the lagoon and into the open ocean
for a Polynesian experience you will never forget!
