Who BELUGA suits
BELUGA is a 34.7 m motor yacht that accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 cabins, making her a practical choice for families or groups seeking a well-equipped vessel. With a crew of 6 on board to manage the logistics, she provides a comfortable platform for exploring the water. Guests can enjoy active days using the kayak, paddleboards, wakeboard, and water skis, or simply relax on deck with the jacuzzi and BBQ facilities.
When positioned in Polynesia, BELUGA holds a distinct position among the local fleet. She measures longer than the typical yachts found in these waters and accommodates more guests than most alternatives. While her build year is similar to those she operates alongside, the weekly rate is higher, reflecting the space and capacity she provides for those who prefer a more substantial vessel for their voyage.
The best time to experience BELUGA in Oceania, Northern Territory Australia, and Polynesia is during the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October. These periods provide reliable conditions and quieter anchorages for those cruising the region. While the wet season from November to April brings higher temperatures and the dry season from May to October offers steady winds, she remains a capable choice for travel throughout the calendar year.

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.
