What an amazing trip we had aboard the boat with Pacome and Quentin. The boat was spacious and fit our family of 4 perfectly with plenty of room! The cabins were nice and roomy, with shelving and cabinets for our personal items, and two windows to let in the night breeze. Waking up to the waves and such an amazing view was spectacular. Each morning we were treated to a very nice breakfast of cheeses, fresh fruits, toast, jams, eggs if requested and French toast one morning. Hot coffee and juice as well as the first morning my daughter requested tea, with each morning after her tea would be ready when she awoke! We looked forward to each meal as much as a 5 star restaurant. Fresh fish, pastas, salads, chicken and so much more...always followed by an amazing dessert. Pacome and Quentin were friendly and very attentive, making sure we had what we needed. Pacome sailed through and around the islands, giving us a unique view of Tahiti's beautiful islands and stopping at the best snorkeling spots! This was truly a special adventure that my family will never forget and feel as though we made new friends in the process. Maybe one day we can sail with them again.
We had a great time on board Miri Miri, especialy thanks to the amazing crew. The boat is in good conditions, two cabins are bigger and one is a bit smaller. We think it is a very good value for money boat, would book it again.
Nous avons passé 5 jours inoubliables avec Pacôme. Ses connaissances des îles et de son bateau on fait de ce séjour un bonheur et nous vous recommandons vivement ses services. English translation: We have spent 5 unforgettable days with Pacôme. His knowledge of the islands and his boat made this holiday a delight and we strongly recommend his services.
Very nice five-day cruise with Fabio who showed us Raiatea, Taha and Bora (in addition to introducing us to the local cuisine). The excursions inland / on the motus / snorkeling spots were always top notch!
A very nice week on board. It's a shame the dinghy's engine was acting up, making some excursions perilous. This boat is also not made for the pouring rain, which hit us on the last day. Otherwise, Richard and Anaïs were perfect, welcoming and considerate. Thank you.
Our skipper Paulo was great.. we enjoyed our stay and saw some very beautiful things, however there is a lot of maintenance to be done regarding the bedding, taps and cleanliness on the boat! We arrived and the boat stank of old rags! We stayed 10 nights and in terms of cleanliness it was really very difficult for all of us despite the fact that Paulo on several occasions gave us other sheets but it is the bedding itself as well as the cushions which absolutely need to be renewed. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay..
We had an incredible week with Pacome on the catamaran. Always attentive and motivated to help us discover his favorite places in the Leeward Islands! Brimming with imagination to organize activities! It was a magical week, we all had stars in our eyes!
We spent five days on the Pacôme boat and our stay was simply exceptional. We toured Raiatea and Tahaa, Pacôme knew all the good places to go snorkeling (coral gardens, rays, sharks), to visit rum factories, vanilla groves and pearl groves, and we were able to eat delicious local dishes. The boat is large and very well equipped, we will keep very good memories of these moments.
We had a great stay on Pacome and Marie's catamaran, who both took great care to make the cruise exceptional. We were pampered and taken to beautiful snorkeling spots, lagoons, and islands, thanks to their increased knowledge of Polynesia. You can book with your eyes closed!
Thank you and thank you again! We spent an unforgettable week as a family with our 2 children aged 17 and 18 thanks to Pacome: Skipper/owner of the boat. We were able to discover this paradise that he knows like the back of his hand having been installed there for 20 years. None of the anchorages, snorkeling and walks are left to chance. Every day we were treated to small black tips..., dolphins, rays (Leopard, Mantas...)... The skipper must add his chef talents: We tasted all the local specialties! Thank you again for your welcome Pacome and all your attention. Thank you Marie for all the organization before the trip. Good luck!
Great 10 fantastic days thanks to Pacôme. Permanent kindness, top chef, attentive to everyone and excellent cook. program rich in discoveries to repeat
What a pleasure to discover the Leeward Islands in the company of Pacôme, owner of the boat, who knows the area like the back of his hand. We were able to do some magnificent snorkeling and enjoy wonderful anchorages. Pacôme also shared with us many explanations about Polynesia and its culture, and was always very attentive. A big thank you for this cruise full of discovery and good food ;)
We had a very good stay thanks to Thierry the captain who showed us some very beautiful spots in Bora Bora and Taha’a and also thanks to Charlotte who cooked us great meals! Very nice experience
A huge thank you to Thierry for this unforgettable cruise! Everything was great: its organization, its anchorages, its activities etc. We had an excellent stay largely thanks to him, he is an exceptional captain and we hope one day to be able to sail with him again. You can book this catamaran with your eyes closed, you will have a great experience. See you soon, I hope.
The best experience of our lives. What else to say? We had the chance to discover 4 wonderful islands (Raiatea, Tahaa, Bora and Huahine) and all this, in large part, thanks to two wonderful people, Thierry and Charlotte. We laughed, danced, sang, swam with the most incredible creatures, sailed through a more than cooperative ocean, and wept goodbye. Thierry is a wonderful person, who passes on his passion with pleasure. He also does not hesitate to share with us the legends and stories attached to each island. Thanks to Thierry, we went to exceptional places to dive with manta rays, sharks and hundreds of fish. Charlotte meanwhile knew how to bring us together around exquisite meals. His good humor, his kindness and his good advice were essential in this trip. We insist on the fact that Charlotte is a luxury cook, you will miss her once you get home! This maritime escapade was a first for the 6 of us, what may be complicated now is to do as well in the future. A big thank-you. Words fail us to talk about this adventure. Nice continuation to them, you will remain forever etched in our minds.
It's hard to describe in a few words the incredible 4 days we spent on board. Everything was magical, Thierry (our skipper) and Charlotte (our hostess) were very caring. Thierry and Charlotte shared their great knowledge of the region and of sailing. They offered us a complete program with superb snorkeling, magnificent anchorages with memorable sunsets and the icing on the cake, a magical moment with a whale and her calf, not to mention the very interesting shore visits (pearl farm, vanilla plantation , rum). Charlotte made us an excellent varied cuisine with fresh local products. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly on the boat throughout the stay with very nice exchanges and beautiful evenings around an aperitif, a good dinner and good music. Thank you for everything Charlotte and Thierry, you made these 4 days unforgettable.
We spent 10 wonderful days sailing around the Leeward Islands. Thierry (skipper) and Charlotte (hostess) allowed us to have a perfect stay. Their extensive knowledge of this region was extremely valuable to us. Thierry and Charlotte offered us a complete program with superb snorkeling (our priority for the stay), magnificent anchorages but also some very interesting visits on land (pearl farm, vanilla plantation, rum factory) without forgetting a few walks to very beautiful points of seen. Thierry was always ready to share his great knowledge of sailing but also of the places and the local population. Charlotte made us excellent varied cuisine with local products and she was also a very useful snorkeling guide. The atmosphere was excellent on the boat throughout the stay with very nice exchanges and beautiful evenings around an aperitif, a good dinner and good music. The boat was very good for the 7 people, in good general condition, spacious, no technical problems during the stay and if necessary, Thierry is a DIY pro. A big thank you to Thierry and Charlotte who allowed us to take full advantage of these 10 days of cruising.
Thank you to the Thierry / Charlotte duo who listened to us and allowed us to enjoy 100% of our stay at sea. The boat is comfortable. I recommend for your next vacation ?? I recommend
Thanks again to Pacome, for this dream week, which really gave us complete satisfaction both through its multiple professional skills and through its very lively knowledge of the whole region (stories, fauna, visits; spots,...). Everything was perfect for our family of 5, until the moment of departure when Marie, who takes care of the logistics efficiently, spoiled us. We highly recommend this duo of charm and kindness. BOLDINI family.
We had a wonderful time on Marie's boat with a skipper who, in addition to being very friendly, took us to absolutely magical places. We highly recommend !!!
