When You Arrive

All fully vaccinated and unvaccinated guests must take an antigenic COVID-19 PCR-Test on arrival and a virological test on Day 4. All travellers with proven immunity must take a serology test that shows that are positive for antibodies - this test must be taken 15 to 30 days prior to arrival, as well as a Day 4 virological test. Children under 6 years old are not subject to quarantine if their parents are vaccinated. Children over 6 years of age who are unvaccinated, not immune or tested positive to COVID-19 are subject to quarantine which will be imposed on the entire family. 

All unvaccinated guests - including unvaccinated children aged 6+ - are required to spend 10 days in quarantine, and a Day 8 PCR test will be required.

A Day 4 self-test will be provided upon arrival to Papeete International Airport (PPT). The base will give you instructions on where to drop off your test kits. There are drop-off locations on each of the islands you will explore on charter.

During Your Charter

Safety Measures

Please review the Covid-19 safety measures currently in place.

  • Should you require the services of a technician during your charter, the technician must complete a pre-boarding health declaration form at the base, which will be kept in the chart table.
  • All yachts will be equipped with a no-touch thermometer on board. Each passenger's temperature must be taken and logged daily, and this record must be logged and stored in the chart table. The log must be left on board as we are required to store this information at the base for two months following your charter.

COVID-19 Testing Sites

All fully vaccinated, immunized and unvaccinated guests must take a mandatory self-test 4 days after arrival in The Islands of Tahiti. A self-test will be provided upon arrival to Papeete International Airport (PPT). The base will give you instructions on where to drop off your test kits. There are drop-off locations on each of the islands you will explore on charter.

Public Spaces

Guests must wear a face mask in all public spaces and must always keep a safe distance of 1-2 metres (6 ft). 

A curfew is in effect on the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. All trips, circulation or movement in public areas are prohibited every day between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. through the 30th April 2021 with the possibility of being extended.
