THE PERFECT GIFT!
Give or treat yourself to a subscription to the print + digital Journal of Sailing and for only 69 euros a year you get the magazine at home plus read it on your PC, smartphone and tablet. With a sea of advantages.
Do you want to feel like Vaiana, the protagonist of Disney’s animated film “Oceania,” or like the demigod Maui, her friendly companion (by the way, here is our review of the film)? Do you want like them to sail the seas of beautiful Polynesia, every sailor’s paradise, among remote atolls and coral reefs?
We have selected for you (as of August 5, 2017), the best rental proposals from our comparator To immerse yourself for two weeks in the wilderness and crystal clear waters by ditching your moorings from Raiatea, pearl of French Polynesia (The island, which is home to an airport and even a shipyard, is part of the Society Island archipelago precisely in the Leeward Island group): from here you can reach neighboring Tahaa, or Tahiti, Nuku Hiva, Hiva Oa and the mythical Bora-Bora. We focused on catamarans, the only ones that will allow you to sail smoothly even near coral reefs and stay comfortable on board even if there are many of them (given the not-so-cheap nature of the vacation, it is best to arrange to split expenses).
LEOPARD 384, A VALUABLE “ENTRY LEVEL”
We start with a Leopard 384, an 11.4-meter catamaran from 2010 that is able to offer as many as 10 berths (6 cabins) and that, without a skipper on board, is offered from 7,888 euros by taking advantage of the 10 percent discount. DISCOVER MORE.
COMFORT FIRST
We go up in size with a 2010 Catana 41 Ocean Class (12.6 meters long) that prioritizes comfort, with 4 cabins, 2 toilets, and 8 berths. Again thanks to a 10 percent discount, the two weeks cost 8,755 euros. DISCOVER MORE.
IN MANY “SE PO’ FA”
A Nautitech 44 (4 cabins, as many as 12 berths, 4 toilets) from 2010 will cost you 11,400 euros (5%discount): if you decided to fill it, divide by 12 and you get an unforgettable cruise at 950 euros for two weeks. Not cheap, but affordable. DISCOVER MORE.
ORANA 44, DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHY
For the same price you can opt for Fountaine-Pajot’s Orana 44 (13.1-meter catamaran, 4 cabins, 8 berths and 4 toilets), which follows a different philosophy, that of “fewer people on board but more comfortable.” DISCOVER MORE.
THE “TOP” OFFER
We close with the “top of the line” offerings. A splendid Catana 47 (15.7-meter boat, 10 berths and 6 cabins, 4 toilets), which, taking advantage of a 10 percent discount, will cost you 14,594 euros: so you can explore atolls and coral reefs in the most comfortable way possible. DISCOVER MORE.
