7 Days Yacht Charter Itinerary
Leeward Escape: Raiatea to Maupiti by Catamaran
Raiatea, Embarkation & the Sacred Isle
Board your small sailing catamaran in Raiatea, the cradle of Polynesian culture and home to the UNESCO-listed marae of Taputapuatea. Settle in as the crew casts off into the sheltered lagoon, and spend your first afternoon swimming and finding your rhythm aboard. Enjoy a welcome dinner on deck as the sun sets over the island’s green ridges.
Raiatea to Taha’a, The Vanilla Island
Sail the calm waters of the lagoon shared by Raiatea and Taha’a, where the air turns sweet with the scent of vanilla. Visit a working plantation and perhaps a pearl farm ashore, then anchor for a drift snorkel through Taha’a’s celebrated coral garden, gliding over reefs alive with tropical fish.
Taha’a to Bora Bora, Pearl of the Pacific
A morning sail across open water carries you to legendary Bora Bora, its lagoon glowing in impossible shades of blue beneath the twin peaks of Mount Otemanu. Anchor in a quiet corner of the lagoon and spend the afternoon swimming and paddleboarding, with dinner served on deck against the island’s unforgettable silhouette.
Bora Bora, A Day in the Lagoon
Devote a full day to Bora Bora’s wonders. Snorkel with rays and blacktip reef sharks, drift over coral gardens, and swim from deserted sandbanks. Take the tender ashore for a taste of island life, or simply relax aboard as the colours of the lagoon shift through the day.
Bora Bora to Maupiti, The Hidden Gem
Make a scenic passage under sail to tiny, unspoilt Maupiti, a miniature Bora Bora without the crowds. Navigate its single dramatic pass into a crystalline lagoon ringed by white-sand motus, and settle into the slow, timeless pace of one of Polynesia’s best-kept secrets.
Maupiti, Peaks & Pristine Lagoon
Climb Mount Teurafaatiu for a sweeping panorama of the Leeward Islands, snorkel with manta rays in the lagoon, or linger on empty beaches with a picnic ashore. A day to savour the wild, untouched beauty of Maupiti before turning for home.
Return to Raiatea & Disembarkation
Set a final course under sail back towards Raiatea, making the most of your last hours on the water with a swim stop and lunch at anchor. Arrive relaxed and sun-warmed for disembarkation, carrying home memories of a week among the finest islands in the South Pacific.
