Bareboat sailing in Raiatea

A sailing résumé is the real ticket: operators want recent miles and experience of the size. The grounds: a single lagoon shared with vanilla-island Tahaa, with Bora-Bora watching on the horizon.

The local wind, decoded

Steady trades outside and flat lagoon water — the passes are crossed under engine and full attention. Trim the sail plan accordingly. Boarding points: the Uturoa and Apooiti marinas, French Polynesia’s main charter base.
