Welcome, aboard Na Maka, our catamaran, our catamaran

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…

Why sail with Tahiti Guest Boat?

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.

The Na Maka crew in Polynesia

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.”

Très beau séjour de 15 jours avec Jerome et ses enfants. Lesquels s'occupent de nous, l'un sur le plan culinaire et l'autre sur la vie sous marine. Nous avons navigué dans les Tuamotu, en voyant des paysages marins et fonds marins extraordinaires, même en ayant voyagé deux fois précédemment on ne se lasse pas. A faire absolument.

How much does a Tahiti Guest Boat cruise cost?

Prices start at €250 per person per day, based on 4 guests. This includes the boat, skipper, host, meals, non-alcoholic drinks and all included activities.

Every rate is tailored to the cruise (duration and destination) and to your needs and wishes. Contact us on WhatsApp for more information.

These activities take place in nature and cannot be guaranteed: they depend on everyone’s interests and fitness, as well as weather conditions.

What meals are served during the cruise?

Meals depend on the provisions available aboard Nā Maka and on local shops. Access to food varies between archipelagos: the Marquesas and the Tuamotu do not offer the same products. In Polynesia, we generally eat plenty of fish.

What experience do hosts Jérôme and Nathalie have?

Jérôme and Nathalie spent several years sailing with their family through the Polynesian archipelagos. They are passionate about the beauty of the islands and the kindness of the local people, and share that passion with guests on every cruise.
