Remote, exotic, relaxing

The impossibly remote and endlessly alluring French Polynesian islands were one of the last places on Earth to be settled by humans. Today, the year-round trade winds and mild, consistent climate makes Tahiti a year-round sailing destination.

A Tahitian sailing vacation is no coastal cruise, with many of French Polynesia’s islands spread tens or even hundreds of miles apart. Experienced ocean sailors will relish the opportunity to sail the calm waters of the South Pacific in search of island-hopping adventure, encountering welcoming, traditional island communities, dramatic volcanic scenery and incredible oceanic wildlife along the way. 

Our base is found at Raiatea, a small island in the center of French Polynesia. Thousands of miles from the nearest large landmass, Raiatea is surrounded by the countless tiny, remote islands of the South Pacific. Dive the circuit of reef that surrounds Raiatea and neighbouring Taha’a and come face to face with Polynesia’s remarkable marine life. Sheltered from swells but open to the strong trade winds, Raiatea’s self-contained lagoon offers truly excellent sailing. 

Highlights

  • Year-round trade winds
  • Excellent fishing, kayaking and snorkeling
  • Dozens of remote, exotic islands to explore

Simply because of the reputation, and easy of my experience thus far and I know the fleets are comparable around the world at other chartering destinations

I got prompt responses to all my questions prior to our arrival. The check-in process with the office was so smooth and helpful. Our skippers were excellent! Took us to remarkable snorkeling spots, taught us the basics of being at the helm, and were fun to spend time with.

The flotilla lead crew assistance with reserving berths at quays, Med moorings, technical issues, and social events to meet crews from all over the world all makes for a wonderful Mediterranean sailing experience.

I did my sailing course with Sunsail many years ago and it was very professional. When we arrived for our charter the staff were very professional. The boat was almost brand new and presented beautifully. We had no problems for the entire week. We would definitely come back and use Sunsail again.
