Who DE LISLE III suits
DE LISLE III is a 42 m motor yacht well-suited for groups seeking a relaxed pace on the water. With four cabins accommodating 9 guests and a crew of 7, she provides a comfortable setting for those prioritising space and attentive service. Her deck features a jacuzzi and a bbq, while active guests can utilise the paddleboards and a waverunner. The presence of stabilizers at anchor ensures a calm experience for all aboard, whether enjoying the gym or relaxing in the air conditioning.
When positioned in Polynesia, she presents a distinct profile compared to similar yachts. She sits at a shorter length than her peers and welcomes fewer guests, creating a more intimate atmosphere for those on board. While her build year is similar to other vessels in the region, her weekly rate is lower, providing a measured option for those looking to explore these waters.
Cruising through Oceania, Northern Territory Australia, and Polynesia is possible throughout the calendar. The dry season from May to October brings steady winds and lower humidity, with July and August providing firm breezes. For those preferring quieter anchorages, May, June, September, and October are the best time for a visit. The wet season from November to April offers higher temperatures and lighter winds for a different experience in these locations.

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.
