Raiatea bareboat yacht charter sailing holidays, French Polynesia - Sunsail


Raiatea and Tahaa are two separate islands 120 miles northeast of Tahiti, sharing the same lagoon among the leeward Society Islands. Raiatea is the second largest island of French Polynesia after Tahiti and boasts lush green valleys, stunning waterfalls and pineapple and vanilla plantations.

Sunsail's base is located on the North part of Raiatea island in Marina Apooiti. Marina Apooiti was the first Marina developed on this island. Only five minutes from the airport, you’ll find shops, art, crafts, and restaurants. Neighboring Tahaa has numerous vanilla plantations across the island and Motu Tau Tau is a popular spot for snorkelers.
