Who BABAC suits
BABAC is a sailing catamaran measuring 23.3 m that comfortably accommodates 8 guests across 4 cabins. With a dedicated crew of 3 to manage the vessel, she is well-suited for groups seeking an active experience on the water. Her selection of equipment includes a wakeboard, water skis, a towable tube, and paddleboards, providing diverse options for enjoying the surroundings during a charter.
When evaluating her against 4 similar yachts in Polynesia, she sits at a similar length and attracts a similar weekly rate. Her guest count is fewer than the alternatives, which may appeal to those preferring a more intimate atmosphere on board. While her build year is older than those of her peers, she remains a capable choice for exploring the region.
For those planning a visit to Oceania, Northern Territory Australia, or Polynesia, the best time to charter BABAC spans from April through November. The months of May, June, September, and October provide reliable conditions and quieter surroundings, while July and August bring firmer breezes for sailing. Her schedule across these seasons allows for varied experiences, from the drier months with steady trade winds to the warmer transition periods.

Cruising Polynesia: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The dry season runs from May to October, bringing steady south-easterly trade winds known as the Mara'amu and lower humidity. July and August are peak charter months with firmer breezes. The wet season spans November to April, characterised by higher temperatures, increased rainfall, and lighter, variable winds. Cruising remains possible year-round, though the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October offer quieter anchorages and reliable conditions.
Practical tips
- Fly into Tahiti Faa'a (PPT); Papeete's marina is about 10 minutes away, with domestic inter-island flights reaching Raiatea and Bora Bora.
- Entering atoll passes requires precise timing around slack water due to strong tidal currents that can exceed eight knots.
- Respect customary marine reserves known as rahui, and ask permission before anchoring close to private motus or pearl concessions.
Anchorages to know
- Opunohu Bay, MooreaDeep fjord-like bay providing excellent shelter from prevailing easterly winds, surrounded by steep volcanic peaks.
- Baie d'Apu, Taha'aA well-protected anchorage situated within the barrier reef, convenient for visiting vanilla plantations and pearl farms.
- Motu To'opua, Bora BoraLagoon anchorage offering calm holding in sand behind the barrier reef, sheltered from ocean swell.
- Faaroa Bay, RaiateaDeep anchorage at the mouth of the island's navigable river, offering sheltered water and lush inland scenery.
