The spirit and charm of a beautiful guest house, experienced as a Polynesian sailing cruise
For those who dream of discovering or rediscovering the most beautiful sailing grounds on the planet; who want to enjoy the extraordinary beauty of lagoons and atolls at their own pace; who dream of relaxing, snorkelling, sunbathing and swimming in turquoise waters; kayaking, kitesurfing or wing foiling; a sunset aperitif and meals inspired by Tahiti… For those who want to experience Polynesian hospitality, open up to the culture and let conviviality and sharing make the journey unforgettable.
This elegant 15.5-metre catamaran combines excellent sailing qualities, comfort and generous, welcoming living spaces.
Our boat welcomes up to 5 guests (4 adults and 1 child), so we can give special attention to every detail that makes a cruise successful: a pace adapted to your wishes, varied activities and carefully prepared meals…
Because we love Polynesia and know it well, we are committed to helping you discover it in all its authenticity.
Because every cruise is unique and created with and for our guests. Choose the pace, activities, and landscapes that suit you.
For the comfort of our Na Maka catamaran, under sail and at anchor, and for the attention to detail that makes all the difference.
A word from your hosts, Jérôme & Nathalie
“After reaching Tahiti by sea and exploring these Polynesian archipelagos as a family for several years, each one more beautiful than the last, we were also won over by the warmth and kindness of our Polynesian friends. We dropped anchor in the Fenua.
Since then, for a few weeks each year, we have shared our passion with guests.”
We had an absolutely fabulous time aboard Na Maka with Nathalie, Jérôme, and their son Titouan. We sailed through a paradise setting before stopping on Kauehi Island. Thanks to Nathalie and Jérôme, we were able to meet the island's inhabitants, who welcomed us warmly and shared their lives with us for a few weeks. These memories will remain with us forever. We cannot wait to take another route with the Na Maka crew and continue discovering Polynesia! Our hosts have an excellent knowledge of the places they showed us in complete safety. Thanks to them, we discovered Polynesian culture, snorkelling, and magnificent seabeds, which made a deep impression on us. A thousand thanks to Jérôme, Nathalie, and Titouan!
Wonderful holidays. Jérôme and Nathalie know the best anchorages perfectly, making it possible to enjoy an exceptional Polynesian experience. We chose 20 days in the Tuamotus (Fakarava, Toau, and Kauhei). We loved discovering the seabed: multicoloured coral reefs and marine life whose diversity was incredible—the world of Nemo, but even better; even the sharks (peaceful...) were everywhere at every swim...!! Meeting the lovely, caring, and incredibly friendly people of Kauhei was a truly memorable experience. Life there is shaped by the weekly air link and the cargo ship that supplies the inhabitants every 15 days. A timeless escape if ever there was one. And then there was Namaka, which welcomed us throughout these wonderful days. It was very comfortable and reassuring when the sea grew rough outside the lagoons. Our hosts handled everything with confidence, mastering their subject with sailing CVs worthy of the greatest sailors. Life on board is cosy, the food is excellent, and the pace is gentle. We had a wonderful holiday!
My partner and I spent 2 memorable weeks aboard Na Maka with Jerome and Natalie sailing the Leeward / Society Islands. They are both extremely experienced sailors and knowledgeable, able to answer our endless questions about French Polynesia…
There are not enough words to describe the experience offered by Jérôme and his team. By ensuring the best sailing conditions, he will do everything possible to help you make the most of his extensive knowledge of the islands…
In 2022, our family of four embarked on a journey around the world, and one of the absolute highlights was our 14-day cruise through French Polynesia aboard Namaka with Jérôme and Nathalie. We sailed in July and explored the stunning…
We have just spent five dreamlike days aboard Na Maka, Jérôme and his family's boat. Everything was perfect: activities, meals, organisation, comfort… Thank you for this stay that we are not going to forget in such a paradisiacal place!
I would have loved to go with Tahiti Guest Boat, but everything was fully booked on my dates. Jérôme still took the time to give me advice with great kindness…
We had the pleasure of enjoying an unforgettable cruise in the Leeward Islands, from July 19 to August 3, 2024. Our hosts, Nathalie and Jérôme, showed us unique places, such as the Faaora Bay river on Raiatea,…
I had another wonderful 8-day stay aboard Namaka in Kauehi in June 2026.
As always, Nathalie and Jérôme were very welcoming hosts. They took us to discover different snorkeling spots, where we were able to admire many species of fish and even saw manta rays along the way.
We also had the opportunity to go cycling and share a brunch with the locals.
The meals were very generous and well prepared, and the boat was very comfortable.
The days went by so quickly because there was always something to do.
I will definitely come back, and I highly recommend an excursion aboard Namaka!
Wonderful welcome, very high-quality service and hospitality, not to mention Jérôme and Nathalie's friendliness. It was the best trip of my life; what a shame it only lasted two weeks 😜. The Tuamotu Islands are truly magnificent. What I particularly appreciated was the interaction with local communities and the opportunity to visit non-touristy places. We were truly immersed in Paumotu life. And of course, the scenery was extraordinary: blue lagoons, sunsets, beaches, and so on. I can't wait to come back to go fishing with Jérôme!! 😚
I spent an unforgettable holiday aboard the Na Maka in July 2024 and, without hesitation, it was the best holiday I have ever had. Jérôme and Nathalie are very welcoming, generous hosts and, above all, always…
Excellent stay in Maupiti over the Christmas and New Year holidays. I really appreciated the relaxed, warm welcome and atmosphere throughout this stay.…
A wonderful 15-day stay with Jerome and his children. One takes care of us in the kitchen, the other of our underwater life. We sailed in the Tuamotus, seeing extraordinary seascapes and seabeds; even after having travelled there twice before, we never tire of it. An absolute must.
Ia Orana. We spent 15 fantastic days aboard NaMaka in April 2023, sailing through the Tuamotu Archipelago and discovering the atoll of Rangiroa, with its…
A sublime stay aboard, visiting two atolls in the Tuamotus, with Jérôme and Nathalie taking wonderful care of us. Spacious and very comfortable catamaran; we'll be back!!!
Ia orana, we spent an unforgettable week aboard the catamaran with Nathalie and Jérôme! Their warm welcome, professionalism, and passion for Polynesia…
Iaorana, we had an excellent stay aboard Namaka for the Marquesas Festival. A memorable experience, with fantastic service and hospitality. We would do it again.
