Yacht Charter in Bora Bora

Being an island in the South Pacific, a yacht charter is truly an epic way to explore this fantastic tropical destination. A beautiful lagoon surrounds the island itself, and beyond this lagoon, it is covered with a barrier reef, enclosing the island and keeping it safe from strong currents and strong winds. This makes the lagoon in Bora Bora a calm and protected area where yacht charters can enjoy cruising all-year-round. With so much natural beauty around you, the views from a yacht charter are genuinely spectacular. And suppose you have more than a day to explore the waters around Bora Bora. In that case, you can discover the other majestic islands around French Polynesia, creating a vacation that will indeed provide you with an experience of a lifetime.

Yacht charter prices in Bora Bora differ based on several factors, such as the boat's size, the type of boat you charter, the rental duration, and the people on board. A 56-foot catamaran can cost around $34,000 for a week's rent, while a 92-foot motor yacht can cost about $59,000 for a week's rent. A 121-foot luxury yacht with five cabins can cost around $120,000 for a week's rent.

The yachting season in Bora Bora is between May to October, considered the island's dry season. Long sunny days, perfectly smooth sailing grounds, and the best weather for yacht charters are experienced during these months on Bora Bora.

A yacht charter for a day in Bora Bora centers around the lagoon. There are so many things that you can do in these waters, from jet skiing, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming. From the capital of Vaitape, a full day yacht charter must begin at Matira Beach, the most popular beach on the island. Cruise to the south coast and find the most extensive public access beach on the island. It features crystal clear waters and the softest white sand beach you can ever imagine. There are eateries, cafes, and shops on the beach, so it offers both convenience and natural scenery at the same time. Another must-visit is the Coral Gardens, found on a small islet east of the mainland. You can see marine life through the crystalline waters, such as moray eels, stingrays, and blacktip reef sharks.

An overnight yacht charter in Bora Bora can take you to further away destinations and more attractions. For a different experience, try to cruise the east coast of Bora Bora by heading to Anau, a village representing the true Polynesian style. It's not a popularly visited village, so there are fewer crowds than the western coast. It offers a more traditional look at Polynesian life than the rest of Bora Bora, with swanky hotels, resorts, and fine dining restaurants.

Get to explore the village with its walking tours of jungle explorations, 4x4 village tours, and visit the small shops, restaurants, and the one big church found inland. Anau sits on a shallow lagoon so you can drop anchor here for the night before exploring more of the nearby villages and coastline. You can also head to Nunue, another coastal village on the east coast, and head to Matira Point before making your way back to Vaitape to end your overnight yacht charter cruise.

Get to visit the rest of the Society Islands with a one-week liveaboard on board a yacht charter in Bora Bora. Upon arriving in Vaitape and exploring Bora Bora's lagoon and exquisite resorts, it's now time you start your cruise down south and explore the rest of the beautiful islands of French Polynesia. Start your yacht charter cruise in Bora Bora, exploring this island's beauty, then make your way to the first Society Island destination.

Day 1: Explore Bora Bora's Lagoon

Swim, snorkel, hike, jet ski, and dine in any of the 5-star resorts that dot the beautiful island of Bora Bora. Drop anchor on the waters off Motu Toopua, home of several mega-resorts, and stay here for the night.

Day 2, 3, and 4: Taha-a and Raiatea

Enjoy breakfast on deck before cruising to the island of Taha-a. A quiet island to the south of Bora Bora, Taha-a shares a beautiful lagoon with Raiatea's island. Legend says the two islands were one big island in ancient times. Because the two islands share this large lagoon, many of the two islands' attractions and sites are similar in nature, and the two islands also share identical interests.

In Tahaa, experience exploring vanilla farms, pearl farms, and a famous sugarcane rum distillery. Another activity you can enjoy is shopping for fresh produce, local souvenirs and crafts, and many other unique items at the Uturoa Market. From Tahaa or Raiatea, you can explore the Faaroa, the only navigable river in the French Polynesian islands, as well as the UNESCO World Heritage site of Taputapuatea, which feature ancient marae temples. Among the other activities you can enjoy, these islands include 4X4 island tours, waterfall hikes, and scuba diving.

Day 5: Huahine

Because Huahine is a little further to the eastern region of French Polynesia, it has fewer crowds and is less visited by yachts and tourists. Because of this, it has remained its allure and authenticity. It features the largest concentration of temples in French Polynesia, with the oldest one being from 700 AD and said to be built by the islands' original ancestors, which were the Lapita people. Huahine is dubbed as "The Garden Island" because of its tropical jungle, fertile land filled with coconut plantations, vanilla orchids, watermelon fields, breadfruit trees, and banana groves. Tourists who visit Huahine come back year after year, stating the island remains the same, so they keep coming back for its offering of rest, relaxation, seclusion, and tranquility.

Day 6: Moorea

Beautiful Moorea is found further south and close to the islands of Tahiti. It offers plenty of attractions and exciting adventures, such as walking trails along the foot of an ancient caldera, 4x4 tours, scuba diving, and plenty of outdoor experiences.

Day 7: Bora Bora or Tahiti

On your last day, you can either sail back to Bora Bora or make your way to Tahiti to extend your French Polynesian adventure.

Bora Bora is among the most romantic places on earth, and a wedding yacht charter here is an experience you will never forget. A yacht charter for a wedding provides you with stunning scenery and neutral backdrops of the beautiful lagoon and the towering volcanic mountains behind you. Exchange vows on the yacht, followed by a reception on one of the resort's private beaches, then head back to the boat before sunset and cruise along the lagoon to witness the skies and water turn from blue to many shades of orange, and red at sunset.

Bora Bora is the place for rest and relaxation, but also adventure. It is a destination in the South Pacific that's filled with so much beauty and magic. Superyachts and luxury yachts provide you with modern accommodations as you hop from one exotic island to another from Bora Bora. It's the most indulgent way to enjoy these majestic islands in the Pacific. Bora Bora teems with exotic allure, luxury, and romantic settings. With so much natural beauty in its South Pacific location, a yacht charter is truly the only way to enjoy it with style and ultimate comfort.
