Tahiti is a dream world often synonymous with paradise, and French Polynesia is truly one of the best cruising areas in the Pacific. 250,000 inhabitants with an undisputable reputation for kindness and easy going attitude live in 118 islands sprinkled over an area larger than Continental Europe and offering thousands of secure and idle anchorages including: Nuku Hiva, the largest of the Marquesas group and a most welcomed stop for cruisers coming from the Galapagos. It was the site of Herman Melville's novel "Typee". Further South, Hiva Oa was the last home of famous artist Paul Gauguin. Rangiroa and other nearby Tuamotu islands, now world famous diving spots. Manta rays, sharks, barracudas, dolphins and all kinds of tropical fish gather in the passes of these low atolls like nowhere else. Papeete, capital of Polynesia, with more than 120,000 inhabitants. It is a modern and lively city with an international marina, large international airport, shipyards, repair facilities and good provisioning amenities.

Bora Bora, a real-life model for fictional Bali Hai. Bora Bora and neighbour islands (Huahine, Raiatea and Tahaa) form the most appreciated sailing area of French Polynesia.

I am writing this letter to recommend Tahiti Ocean in the highest way! While we were chartering in the Tahitian Islands for almost 6 months we worked with this organization the whole time! Without their professionalism we would not have had the same results we achieved during these very busy six months of chartering in these waters!

Due to the fact that they are extremely organized, proficient in dealing with every type of request, and always friendly, this makes me sure that they are the best agency in the South Pacific and in the top five in the world! If you are going to the South Pacific Islands of Tahiti, then you have only one choice. Tahiti Ocean!
