Shared Charter: Polynesia Dream TAH/RAI

A shared, aka “Cabin Charter”, is an excellent way to enjoy a sailing vacation in Tahiti on a fully crewed yacht charter without the cost of renting the entire yacht.


This one week itinerary includes an island safari on Moorea with stingrays, discovering village life on Huahine and seeing the breathtaking mountain views in Raiatea. You’ll enjoy sailing in the pristine waters and lagoons, snorkeling and swimming, beach combing, and if you’d like more activity there are plenty of opportunities for exploring. If a quiet vacation with a book is your ideal vacation, on board a catamaran you’ll find plenty of outdoor lounging areas that are perfect for relaxing. With a professional crew to take care of your needs, and a few like-minded new friends on board, you are sure to enjoy the value and experience of a shared crewed yacht charter in Tahiti.
