ITINERARY

Discover the islands of French Polynesia onboard one of Archipels very comfortable catamarans. Each catamaran features 4 spacious cabins with private facilities. A dynamic and experienced team are at your service for an exceptional way to visit the islands.

In addition to their seakeeping qualities, stability and shallow draft, these catamarans are designed as small, luxurious floating hotels with a maximum capacity of eight passengers. The accommodation offers both space and refinement; a large panoramic, well ventilated living room, dining area, lounge, bar and navigation area. Four self-contained, air-conditioned passenger cabins with bathroom are designed for eight passengers. The warm feeling created by the woodwork and leatherwork as well as a carefully done decoration add to the pleasure of being aboard.

Each catamaran has a team of one skipper and one chef-hostess. Both are experienced sailors and hoteliers and will also be your guides for the cruise. Boat handling and safety is left entirely to the crew. However, if you love sailing or dream to learn how to sail, you may take the wheel, send the mainsail up or ask the skipper to tell you a few of his secrets!

There is plenty of choice and flexibility aboard when it comes to acitivities. You may like to swim in the company of rays, go for a kayak ride to a desert motu, discover the most attractive coral areas as though you were in a giant aquarium. On returning from a 4x4 land excursion, a long drink served by your skipper will surely be most enjoyable at a magical time when the sun sets the lagoon ablaze.
