The Charter Experience
Sail between atolls fringed with coral gardens where visibility reaches 60 metres. Anchor in crystalline lagoons off Bora Bora and neighbouring islands, deploying your dinghy to reach uninhabited motus and snorkel reefs teeming with tropical fish. Morning trade winds favour steady passage work; afternoons invite swimming, reading, and sunset aperitifs on deck. French Polynesia's laid-back rhythm pairs perfectly with bareboat autonomy, though provisions, fuel top-ups, and crew arrangements remain your responsibility.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day itinerary might begin with a southeast passage to Bora Bora's anchorages, followed by exploration of Tupai and Maupiti's turquoise lagoons. Return via Raiatea's Uturoa marina, leaving time for provisioning and final preparations. Wind patterns and your crew's experience determine the precise route, offering flexibility that bareboat sailing provides.
