If you would like to take charge of your boat charter in French Polynesia, then bareboat charters are the way to go. Enjoy a bareboat charter if you have a license and set sail at your own pace. You need a valid boating license to enjoy a boat this way, so check with the boat owner beforehand to see if your license is valid.
The best time to visit and rent a boat in French Polynesia is during the high season, which spans from May to October. During this period, French Polynesia experiences its dry season and enjoys warm and pleasant weather, with average temperatures ranging from the mid-70s°F to the mid-80s°F. This is the perfect time to explore the stunning turquoise waters, discover hidden coves, and indulge in various water activities while soaking up the tropical ambiance of the islands.
In the months just outside of the high season, for example, April and November, the average temperatures range from the low 70s°F to the high 80s°F. The weather during these shoulder months remains comfortable and inviting, making it a fantastic time to enjoy boat rentals without the peak tourist crowds of the high season.
Before choosing the right vessel for your boat rental in French Polynesia, you first have to think about the duration of your holiday. If you’re only going to sail for a few days, it is best to opt for a daily charter such as a motorboat or a RIB. With the speed of these vessels, you’ll be able to see everything on your wish list in no time. If you’re planning a longer charter of a week or more you should choose a vessel that includes amenities you’ll need during your stay. Catamarans and yachts have the space and accommodations on board to ensure a comfortable stay on the water. For a more luxurious holiday, you might consider a gulet, and for an authentic sailing experience a sailboat.
If you’re unsure about whether or not a vessel suits your needs, feel free to contact the boat owners to get a better sense of what is included on board. With our large fleet, you’ll have no problem finding the perfect boat for your French Polynesia boat charter!
