Features of yachting in French Polynesia
There are over 100 islands scattered throughout the marine area of about 5 million square kilometers in French Polynesia.
The climate in the central part of French Polynesia is tropical, trade wind. The Marquesas Islands (northern part) are in the zone of equatorial climate. Tubuai (southern islands) has a subtropical climate.
The average annual temperature on most of the islands in French Polynesia is about +24°C, with slight fluctuations by month. The best time to rent a yacht in French Polynesia is from June to October. During this dry season, southeast trade winds prevail on the islands. From November to February, there is a cyclone season.
The main danger for yachtsmen during a marine walk in Polynesia is numerous coral reefs. If you encounter such a reef, damage to the rented vessel is unavoidable. It is recommended to set sail during daylight hours. During yachting, it is necessary to carefully study navigation maps and depth charts.
There are many convenient marinas and sheltered anchorages on the islands. The official language in modern French Polynesia is French, and the main currency is the French Pacific Franc.
Main types of charter yachts
The "7Piers" platform offers a wide variety of yachts, catamarans, and boats available for rent. In French Polynesia, catamarans with a shallow draft are the most popular. On such a vessel, you can get close to the shore and safely navigate shallow waters. A catamaran easily passes over reefs, making it possible to access places that are inaccessible to traditional monohull yachts.
Catamarans are extremely maneuverable and spacious. Since catamarans are less susceptible to waves, it is much more comfortable to move around on the deck and inside the catamaran during a sea trip. Yachts are less common in these areas, as there is a high risk of damaging the vessel. If you decide to rent a yacht in French Polynesia, we recommend that you take out comprehensive insurance.
Renting a yacht with or without a captain
Yachting in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean is characterized by a high level of difficulty, which is why only experienced sailors can rent a boat without a crew. Novice sailors who want to gain experience from professionals can rent a catamaran or yacht with a local captain.
To rent a yacht without a captain (bareboat charter), a skipper license is required, such as an IYT, RYA, MYA, ISSA certificate, or any certification recognized by local authorities.
