Rent a yacht in French Polynesia.

French Polynesia is without doubt paradise on earth, since Bougainville’s trip in 1768, this mythical yacht charter destination has attracted and bewitched generations of explorers, writers and painters. Sprinkled across the South Seas, the 118 islands of French Polynesia have never once failed to make worldwide travels dream. The magnificent decor enhances the image of a rediscovered Eden; the high islands, overseen by crowns of sharp peaks, shreaded by erosion and cut by deep valleys emerge majestically from the lagoon; the islets present desirous sandy beaches, brimming with virgin nature and lush coconut trees; the atolls, are lost in the immensity of the ocean. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe this haven, but a yacht charter in French Polynesia is most definitely a spiritual and cultural vacation experience that will leave you breathless.

Tahiti will be the first island to welcome you with its scenic richness and underwater wonders; the combination of azure lagoons and rainforest peaks in Moorea make it the most beautiful island in the world; Huahine is beautiful by its nature but fascinating with its vanilla and pearl farms; called the « Faraway Heaven », Raiatea boasts an amazing environment; Taha’a is a botanical beauty with hillsides covered in banana, watermelon and coconut groves; popular Bora Bora is protected by a reef barrier and is renowed for its mesmerizing beauty; discover the second largest atoll in the world called Rangiroa; Apataki & Toau Atolls is the world’s largest coral atoll chain in the South Pacific; finish in Fakarava an amazing scuba diving spot.

Tahiti

Start your charter in Tahiti

Tahiti is a beautiful destination with wide white-sand beaches, mountains and blue lagoons. Your crew will be more than happy to organise some diving and hiking expeditions. The Faarumai Waterfalls are the well-known spectacular falls that we highly recommend. Enjoy your water toys and if you are lucky, cruise to see some whales.

There are over 400 small islands and this is a perfect destination for scuba diving. Enjoy a swim with manta rays and green turtles. On land you can visit the main villages of Avatoru and Tiputa. Spend the night here at anchor and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.

Kris Snodgrass
Jean-Marc was incredible. He knew every nook and cranny, took us to a great lunch spot away from all the tourists as reco’d by Jeff. The team was responsive and helpful. Jeff got everything right.
Steve Tritton
Great day on the water with Alain. On a windless day we took in the beauty of Île Saint-Honorat, explored the aqua park and enjoyed the accompaniment of the floating ice cream vendors.Nothing was too much trouble and it was the courtesy and grace of an attentive skipper that made an otherwise becalmed day such great fun.
Warren Barkley
Spend 2 days with Mat and team out around Cannes. Amazing experience. The whole team was helpful and welcoming.

Amazing experience from booking to completion of the trip. Fast response, easy booking process, great recommendations, the boat was exactly as expected, the captain was so friendly and accommodating--cannot say enough nice things. Will definitely recommend it to friends and go through Arthaud Yachting for our next adventure. Thank you!

Professional and kind, our visitors have had wonderful experiences.
Douglas Heinz
We had a fantastic experience chartering out of Nice using Arthaud Yachting. From my first introductory call with Hugo, who listened intently to our needs and interests, to my interactions with Jeff, who proved very organized, responsive and detailed in his communication, we were excited for our day on the water. Capital William was outstanding and really made the day special for us, providing both expert knowledge of local waters and interesting information regarding the history of areas we visited. All staff members we spoke with are multi lingual and communication in English was flawless throughout. Pricing was very transparent and fair. Highly recommend Arthaud for chartering out of the Riviera.
Chapman Household
This is my second booking with Arthaud. And once again a beautiful boat, a knowledgeable captain, resulting in another perfect day on the water!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your review 😀 We hope to see you again soon
