Dive into crystal waters amidst the traffic of flamboyant schools of tropical fish as they navigate coral avenues…
Huahine

Art

Style & Attitude
Live an ever-changing experience; romantic in Bora Bora, untouched in Tahaa, historic in Raiatea and rustic in Huahine. Shed the rigors of protocol; loosen up, in a barefoot-style luxury. Wander about your yacht – different decks, spaces, passageways. Ignore the stress of everyday life, return to another state of serenity…walk the local talk - “no worries”!
Little things matter most
Appreciate the cool privacy of your guestroom, prepared with you in mind and espy the changing panorama through your picture window. Relish a line of beauty amenities appropriately created in these islands. Tease yourself with the chef’s creation of the day – reinvented each and every day.
Polynesian Culture
Study the fine art of basket-weaving as taught by the island “mamas”. Oversee tattooing where the art began and word was first uttered. Take the opportunity to blend into the daily life of these islands. Let the emotion of a traditional marriage ceremony touch you in that special way.
Your Crew
Call into the hi-tech bridge and spend time with the Captain as he guides this beautiful sleek vessel through the protected lagoons. Get together with the knowledgeable “Concierge des îles” to plan your next exceptional memory. Marvel at the manner with which deft and discrete service appears at that right moment, on board, on the beach, or in the warm lagoon waters. Wander through the market with the chef as he seeks ingredients, or look over his shoulder when he selects fish from a boat that arrives at the Yacht’s aft deck.
Creative Exclusivity
Swap your sleek yacht for a “Poti Marara” (hi-speed boat) to chase Mahimahi. Try your hand at paddling a traditional outrigger canoe. Take a private tender to dine together in the lagoon. Canter off on a horse across a white sand beach. Follow the torch lit path to the aroma of a barbecue and relax into dinner served alfresco, followed by the 1931 movie “Tabu” on a tiny deserted motu (islet) that likely served as a set for the movie 70 plus years before your arrival |
