Getting There
Most flights to French Polynesia arrive at Faa'a International
Airport (PPT), also known as the Tahiti International Airport. It's
located on the island of Tahiti, a few miles outside the capital of
Papeete.
Raiatea can be reached from Papeete via a flight or
ferry
We can arrange transfers between the airport and your charter boat.

Sailing Qualifications
No formal qualifications/certifications are required but both
the charter company and I will wish to see the skipper's sailing
resume just to check they have the necessary experience to ensure
everybody will be safe and enjoy the charter
