Shallow draught, master card

Where keelboats wait offshore, a catamaran gets close: Cook’s and Opunohu bays on Moorea, the lagoon passes and the coral gardens, anchored in a few metres of water, ladder down.

Day or week?

By the day, expect a skippered cat. High season runs from May to October, the South Pacific dry season; for weekly charter, search Saturday-to-Saturday to see the full inventory.
