Philippe did everything he could to make this a trip of a lifetime, from trips to “secret” beaches to secluded areas to snorkel—Philippe knew all the best places to go. Each experience was interesting and memorable and are all moments I still think about today. The trip was customized to us and between swimming with manta and sting rays to sharks to the thousands of fish we were left with memories for a lifetime. The food was amazing and better than anything we would’ve had in a restaurant. we couldn’t have asked for a better pair to show us the islands!
All the five star reviews for Philippe and Tahiti Charter are spot on. We stayed four nights in Bora Bora aboard the Yaka and I could not imagine spending our time in this amazing paradise any other way. It really seemed like our trip was customized just for us and we got to see so much more than we ever would have been able to at one of the resorts. We snorkeled, scuba dived, went on amazing hikes, swam with sharks, rays, and most amazing of all the manta rays, practiced yoga on barely inhabited motus, and ate sublime food prepared by our amazing hosts! Far and away the very best deal in Bora Bora from what I could tell and we're already trying to figure out how to get back from a longer multi-island adventure! I can't recommend highly enough!
My husband and I booked with Philippe for our honeymoon, this was our first catamaran experience, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. However, I’m happy to report any expectations we had were exceeded! Philippe did an amazing job planning out our itinerary and the daily activities. We chose to do a 7 day cruise and we felt that was a good amount of time for us. We scuba dived, wakeboarded, did a few local tours, snorkeled, shopped, and relaxed. By booking with Philippe everything was private and it was the most incredible way to experience the beauty of Polynesia. It saved us so much time not having to researching tours, restaurants, pay for taxis and the tour itself, and best of all-avoid the crowds. I couldn’t think of a better way to see everything we wanted to in a week. Compared to the prices of food, activities, and accommodations on land, this is WELL worth the money to have everything in one place. Plus every meal Marylene made was better than eating at a restaurant!
Thank you, Marie and Philippe, for this fabulous trip you took us on! From the very beginning of the planning (a year in advance!), you were responsive and available. The proposed trip perfectly matched our expectations. A unique experience for discovering Polynesia by sea. The food is (so) good, the excursions and activities are top-notch, and life on board is very pleasant with this wonderful family. We really appreciated the thoughtful messages we received throughout our stay to ensure everything went perfectly. I recommend you 200%.
