Overall rating
We were three couples on board the Islands Coyote. The boat was very comfortable, super well-maintained and accessorized beautifully with Mimi's creative island touch. Our week with Pascal and Mimi was absolutely perfect. They were both incredible chefs and every meal was a delight--so much wonderful food! They worked as such a great team in every way! Pascal took us snorkeling every day, and each spot was more magical than the last--clear water, extraordinary fish and coral, hardly any people. We also had a few great land excursions--a visit to a vanilla plantation, a hike for amazing views, two beach meals. We cannot praise them enough for creating the most wonderful adventure for us all. They have great patience and humor, and clearly love what they do. We feel so lucky to have chosen this boat!
Trip of a lifetime! Pascal and Mimi’s boat is their home and it is in immaculate condition. It has received the love and care of home. For sailing, the captain has my full trust because he is very experienced as he and Mimi have travelled around the world in this boat. This boat is the best way to see Society Islands or Tuamotu archipelago. Pascal & Mimi have lived in French Polynesia for many years and their knowledge allows you to experience the best of the islands from experts. (I would not rent a boat/skipper from a charter company!) My family of five: two adults and three teenagers started in Huahine and we sailed to Raiatea, Taha’a and Bora-Bora. Each day we had opportunity to swim. Each day there was an excursion, usually snorkelling at outstanding coral reefs and also visit to a pearl farm, vanilla plantation, rum tasting, fruit garden and beach bbq. Pascal and Mimi worked tirelessly to provide incredible restaurant quality meals for us. My suggestion to anyone interested: Message owner Pascal before booking let him know what you’d like to do and he will work at planning your trip of a lifetime.
We spent 5 days with Pascal and Mimi. They are not just a crew, that perfectly knows how to sail in Polinesia. They are also great host, chefs and local experts for wonderful experiences. Want I want to highlight most is that the make your part of their family as of day one, being inclusive, still ensuring privacy you need. Plus they know very well the Polinesia islands so they provide tours in hidden gems, away from mainstream tourist croweded spots. But not least PASCAL is a great chef, and Mimi does wonderfull hand made palm leaves baskets!! We strongly recommend cruising with them.
This is not a tour, it is an ADVENTURE! Words cannot describe the EPIC experience we had aboard the Islands Coyote. We instantly felt comfortable and are happy to call Pascal and Mimi friends now. The boat is beautiful, spacious, and very clean. We were treated to one-of-a-kind experiences. Every day brought new adventures, new sights, new people, and the best snorkeling we have ever done. We experienced each island in a way that no resort or tour ever could present. As busy adventurers, we needed nourishment, and we were fed like royalty. The food was incredible, fresh, and homemade. The atmosphere was always fun with espresso and Ti-Punch. We smiled and giggled with amazement every day. Pascal and Mimi- You really made my 50th special and gave us an adventure that we will never forget and can’t wait to embark on another with you! Manuia and lots of love.
We had the perfect cruise with Pascal, Mimi, Swann, Plume and Beep Beep on the Islands Coyote. It was a little scary making a booking over the internet to spend 7 days on a boat with strangers in the middle of the South Pacific, but from the first communications we felt welcomed and we are so happy that we made the decision to cruise with them. The boat is lovely, well equiped, well maintained and very comfortable and the food was excellent. We felt very safe with Pascal’s experienced captain skills. We didn’t get to do everything we planned to do because of bad weather and COVID confinement but we had such a wonderful time that we didn’t feel disappointed at all. We hope to sail with them again soon!
Our first family sailing experience, and what a success! Aboard this magnificent catamaran, Pascal and Mimi introduced us to their world: sailing, snorkeling in stunning spots, and delicious, varied cuisine with exotic flavors. We spent wonderful moments in the Society Islands, which already make us want to go back with them for another adventure.
We had a wonderful cruise with our three children in 2024. Everything was perfect: the welcome, Captain Pascal's reliability, Mimi's kindness and cuisine. The scenery, the secret sites. Really, go there with your eyes closed. It transformed us and brought us together. Thanks again to the boat and the crew!
Great stay, everything was great!!
We are finishing an unforgettable 9-day cruise in Polynesia on Pascal, Mimi and Swann's catamaran! They are very attentive hosts on the well-being and satisfaction of their passengers. Beautiful cabins, delicious gourmet meals **, concocted by Mimi and Pascal, organization of Barbecue on the Beach, their son Swann (17 years old) very friendly and always available, took great care of our 2 children aged 8 and 12 (who were crying to leave Swann and the boat). They made us discover the best spots for snorkeling, canoeing, kayaking, paddle! Cheerful and family atmosphere throughout the cruise around a Ti-punch! Dance floor evening! We award them the MONDIAL GOLD AWARD 2022 for the Best Cruise Lines! We all only dream of one thing: Going back to discover other islands at the end of the world on their COYOTE❣️??? Thank you again to all 3 for this dream vacation on paradise islands! Claudia, Jacques, Ambre, Kanèle, Guillaume, Zénoa, Kézia
A crew of unparalleled kindness and understanding you can go there with your eyes closed. Pascal is an excellent navigator Mimi a great cook and Swann a love of teenager who knows how to manage young children like no one else. A big thank you for this mini cruise which will remain a good memory despite the capricious weather ?
An exceptional experience, the captain, his team and the boat are on top. To be recommended without any hesitation.
We would like to keep this boat and its crew just for ourselves. But hey ok we share... with anyone able to appreciate and savor such a boarding.
a wonderful cruise! A beautiful and comfortable boat. A very friendly family, a great meeting! We ate very well and discovered fabulous places! Pascal and Mimi are very caring! Swann is adorable and very funny! Thank you for everything !
If you are looking for real rest, calm and true Polynesian immersion, do not hesitate to leave for a cruise on Coyote Island. The boat is spacious, clean and secure. Pascal the captain is a very good navigator, very good fisherman (we ate our catch!) And bartender (taste his ti punch!) Mireille his wife prepares family cooking, but refined and balanced which is very difficult on a boat. His octopus curry caught the day before, with freshly grated and pressed coconut milk is the best we have eaten. Deserts are very very good unfortunately for the diet. Their son Swan, 13, is very well-mannered and always ready to be of service. Bonus he photographs and edits a video of the cruise. There is a little dog named Plumme on the boat. Sweet, calm and obedient. On the other hand, the beeping beeping cat is not convenient. Don't worry she is very very distant. We loved this generous and caring family. Our 7 day cruise to Tikehau and Rangiroa was too short. We should have stayed 10 days as we were surrounded by kindness and beauty. Thanks again Mireille, Pascal and Swan. We will keep a very good memory of the time spent together and we will come back next August with our nieces!
