Hi all,
We are planning a trip to Oz, New Zealand , Fiji etc and wondering if anyone has done a by the cabin charter in Bora Bora area ?
We did a dream yacht one in Seychelles that was wonderful and see there are a few options for companies in the area.
Also open to a cruise of some sort..
All input appreciated
Thanks
Kim

I don't know anything about a cruise by the cabin. But we did a cruise on Princess out of Papeete that was amazing! I hope you do get to that area, as it is stunningly beautiful. Paul Gaugin is kind of thought of the best cruise for that area. It's about 300 pax, so not huge. Enjoy!

Windstar has a cruise out of Papeete that also has an overnight in Bora Bora. If it is a back and forth, then you stay in Bora Bora again for the return to Papeete.

Windstar is a good option also.
One thing that we did that we enjoyed tremendously was a shore excursion where they did a BBQ and they set up tables in the water for us to eat. It was very neat.

I haven't done a cabin charter but I have sailed the area. A wonderful experience and I'll bet you'll have a great time. I used Dream Yacht for a bareboat for the first time this year and was very impressed.
Kim... How were the Seychelles? I sailed there way back in the 90s and it wasn't really setup that well for boaters. I'm thinking of going back and I imagine they'll be a better charter destination than they were back then.

Felt safe , had impeccable food aboard most caught at sea or bought fresh at market. Would highly recommend. I made a post with pictures somewhere. Will look
