Overall rating
Phillip and Florence have given us the most incredible experience, sailing through beautiful French Polynesia. They delivered above and beyond, giving us the most amazing snorkeling tour and breath taking scenery that built each and everyday. Florence made delicious meals for us, and even provided dessert after each meal! They offered a GoPro to use for underwater footage, paddle boards, and picked up snorkel sets for us. The boat is spacious, clean, and very comfortable. They were so caring, and we feel we made some amazing new friends. Thank you for making our vacation the best experience!
Philippe and Florence were the ultimate hosts! From the beginning with a timely pickup, to the end, where P&F brought us to the yacht club to do brunch with us before our departure, the trip was amazing. P&F had a lovely boat that was big, clean, and had many spots to lay out in the sun. Philippe took us on numerous snorkeling adventures including doing a top spot near Taha'a in French Polynesia - twice! - and swimming with the sharks/sting rays in Bora Bora. Philippe was always ready to take us out on the water and make sure we got the most out of our experience; it was so appreciated. Each day, P&F prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my mother and I as the guests on the boat. I had some food allergies (gluten, dairy, and egg...), and F&P didn't hesitate to accommodate and get creative. Florence made allergen-friendly desserts EVERY day for BOTH lunch and dinner, it was impressive and unexpected! F&P cooked us fish they caught and served wonderful and tasty dishes each night. Finally, F&P were such friendly hosts. English was not their first language and they put lots of effort into speaking English with us. I truly cannot recommend them enough and wish them the best with their future plans! I would love to do another boat adventure with them anywhere in the world. :)
We had a wonderful stay on Philippe’s boat. His wife Florence cooked us delicious home made meals every day. Our time sailing was relaxing and fun. They made every effort to make sure that we had an unforgettable trip. Philippe planed a perfect itinerary for us thanks to his knowledge and experience sailing French Polynesia. He knew the most beautiful spots everywhere we went. I 100% recommend sailing with Philippe and Florence :)
Great day on board Food was amazing Great hosts Thank you Philippe for a great day Highly recommended
Dear Phillipe and Florence, you were great hosts during our two day trip in the catamaran. You were so lovely in answering and explaining every question we had during our trip. Thank you for taking care of us and cooking for us as well. We had en excellent and unforgettable time with you guys. Thank you for making our vacation even better. We will recommend you 100% to our friends and family. Hope to se you soon in Mexico.
This was one of our most favorite trips ever - Philippe and his wife have a beautiful boat, are gracious and friendly hosts, have a terrific relaxed outlook and attitude, and are experts in the area around Raiatea and Taha'a where we sailed. They also love sailing / windsurfing / snorkeling and water sports. We hope to meet them again soon, and would recommend for anyone to spend time with them!
We had a great time aboard Florence and Philippe's boat, which is really very pleasant to live on. The meal was very good, the navigation very pleasant, and they showed us great spots for sharks, rays, coral... and very little frequented. Thanks again for everything!
We had a great time talking with the Kermotu people who showed us the small islets around Nouméa. Thank you to them for these memories, we will remember them without hesitation if the opportunity arises somewhere in the oceans! ;)
Great day in Cata with Philippe and his wife
Florence and Philippe welcomed us aboard their catamaran for 6 days in French Polynesia and it was an incredible experience in their company. Before booking, they helped us choose an itinerary, giving us valuable advice and making sure we got the most out of our stay. They are a very welcoming, extremely nice and interesting couple. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. Florence cooked delicious lunches and dinners for us everyday (and even a birthday cake for my husband). Nothing was too difficult for them. The boat is spacious, modern and clean, they take care of it very well, and we were able to take advantage of the paddles at our disposal and many excursions with their annex to discover and explore wonderful and not very touristy places. We can't thank them enough for being such wonderful hosts and giving us a unique vacation!
Florence and Philippe who welcomed us on their boat are exceptional people and made the moments spent aboard Kermotu unforgettable… A big thank you for this total disconnection far from the world
