Sailing in Tahiti

A yacht charter in Tahiti is an opportunity to sail in a cruising ground that allows both for line-of -sight navigation in the calm waters behind the reefs and also more exhilarating open-water passages.

The tidal range is negligible, but narrow passes between reefs demand careful navigation. Wind speeds generally range from 10 – 15 knots and temperatures range from a low of 77 F (25 C) to a high of 95 F (35 C) in summer.
