Plan a luxury bora bora yacht charter with Blue Ocean Club — crewed motor yachts, sailing yachts and catamarans, real-time availability and bespoke 2026 itineraries. Days unfold at the pace of the sea: long swims off the platform, lunch at a beach club where your concierge has held the best table, an afternoon cruise to a quieter anchorage, cocktails on the bow as the light softens. The captain rewrites tomorrow's plan based on tonight's weather and your party's mood.
We work with a small list of crewed yacht charter Bora Bora operators we know personally — captains we have cruised with, chefs whose tasting menus we have eaten, stewardesses who know your children's names by the end of day one. The result is a charter that feels less like a booking and more like a private invitation.

A handful of signature experiences that define a charter on this coast.
The largest island and international gateway. Its capital, Papeete, is the hub for provisioning and logistics. The interior offers volcanic landscapes and waterfalls.
Characterised by dramatic volcanic peaks and two deep, scenic bays, Cook's and Opunohu. Offers a blend of natural beauty and high-end resorts.
Known as the 'Garden Island', it is a more preserved, culturally rich destination. Comprised of two islands, Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti, connected by a small bridge.
Two islands sharing the same coral reef and lagoon. Raiatea is the administrative and nautical centre of the Leeward Islands, whilst Taha'a is famed for its vanilla plantations and pearl farms.
The quintessential South Pacific paradise. A central volcanic island surrounded by a vibrant lagoon and a string of islets (motus). The focus here is on water activities and five-star resort experiences.
Live pricing — charters from €483,000 / week
Starting points — every itinerary is rewritten around your party, weather and the captain's local knowledge.
From quiet anchorages to marquee beach clubs — a sample of what we routinely arrange.
The primary charter base in the Leeward Islands, located conveniently close to Raiatea Airport (RFP). Ideal for starting itineraries focused on Raiatea, Taha'a, and Bora Bora, avoiding the open-ocean passage from Tahiti.
A full-service marina near Faa'a International Airport (PPT) in Tahiti. Offers excellent provisioning, fuel, and technical support, making it a logical start or end point for longer charters encompassing the Windward and Leeward Islands.
Not a traditional marina, but a cornerstone of the yachting scene offering mooring buoys, a dock for water and fuel, a renowned restaurant, and bar. Essential for any yacht visiting Bora Bora.
Located in the heart of the capital city, offering direct access to Papeete's markets, shops, and administrative centres. Primarily caters to larger superyachts and commercial vessels with alongside berthing.
The ultimate platform for the Society Islands. Their stability is a key comfort factor, whilst their shallow draft unlocks access to the best parts of the lagoons. The expansive deck space is perfect for enjoying the scenery.
Ideal for guests who wish to see multiple islands without long passages. Offers speed, interior volume, air-conditioning, and the capacity for a wide array of water toys and amenities like an onboard gym or cinema.
Best suited for extended, multi-archipelago charters. Their robust build, long range, and capacity for specialist tenders and equipment (like helicopters or submersibles) enable a charter that goes far beyond the typical cruising grounds.
Restaurants, beach clubs, diving, events, private aviation and villas your concierge can pre-book before you board.
Your crew will set up a luxury picnic or BBQ on a secluded white-sand islet (motu), complete with shaded seating, fine linens, and gourmet food prepared by your private chef.
Gain a breathtaking perspective of the island's volcanic peaks and turquoise lagoon with a private helicopter flight, landing directly at one of the top resorts for lunch.
Arrange an exclusive visit to a high-end pearl farm where an expert will guide you through the grading process and assist you in selecting or even harvesting your own Tahitian black pearl.
An experienced local spa therapist can be arranged to join the yacht, offering traditional 'Taurumi' massages and treatments using indigenous Monoi oil.
Explore the rich marine biodiversity of the passes and outer reefs with a dedicated marine biologist who can provide unique insights into the ecosystem.
Your chef, in collaboration with local experts, can prepare a traditional Tahitian feast, cooked in an earth oven ('ahimā'a'), for an authentic culinary immersion.
Explore the rugged interior of Moorea or Bora Bora with a private 4x4 guide, discovering hidden waterfalls, ancient ruins, and panoramic viewpoints inaccessible from the coast.
Charter fees are for the yacht and crew. An Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), typically 30-35% of the charter fee, covers all variable expenses like fuel, food, beverages, and port fees. All prices are weekly estimates for 2026.
| Yacht tier | Weekly base (EUR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|

An iconic establishment with sand floors and a celebrity guest list. Famous for its fresh-caught fish displayed on ice for guests to choose from.
Located waterfront with its own private pontoon. It offers refined dining with spectacular sunset views over the lagoon.
Considered one of Tahiti's finest restaurants, offering sophisticated cuisine in an elegant setting with ocean views.
A vibrant spot with a dedicated yacht pontoon, perfect for lunch or dinner. Known for its energetic atmosphere and consistently good food.
A simple, authentic restaurant offering delicious local dishes in a waterfront setting within Haamene Bay.
The protected coves, sandbanks and lagoons your captain will plot into your week.
A tranquil, well-protected anchorage on the southern tip of Huahine, with a long white-sand beach and access to the Mahana's restaurant. Excellent holding in sand.
A deep, sheltered bay on the west coast of Taha'a, known as the 'Vanilla Island'. Offers protection from prevailing easterlies and provides access to nearby vanilla plantations and pearl farms.
A pristine anchorage in Bora Bora's main lagoon, offering iconic views of Mount Otemanu. Positioned near the St. Regis and Four Seasons resorts, with exceptional snorkelling at the 'Coral Garden' nearby.
A dramatic, fjord-like bay surrounded by volcanic peaks. Good holding and deep water, with access to shoreside amenities and inland hiking trails.
Neighbouring Cook's Bay, this is an equally stunning and historically significant anchorage. It is generally quieter and offers access to the agricultural school for fresh juice and jam tasting.
Polynesia's only navigable river mouth. Anchor just inside the bay and take the tender up the Aoppomau River through dense tropical rainforest for a unique inland exploration.
Specific yachts our team has personally vetted on this cruising ground.
Offers exceptional stability both at anchor and underway. The shallow draft is a significant advantage, allowing access to pristine, shallow anchorages unavailable to monohulls. The wide beam creates vast deck spaces for lounging and dining.
Provides the volume, comfort, and speed to comfortably cover the archipelago, including the longer passage from Tahiti. A shallow draft (under 2.5m) is critical for navigating the lagoons. Look for one with an extensive water toy garage and a large sundeck.
For the client wanting to do more than just scratch the surface. An explorer yacht offers the range to visit the more remote Tuamotu or Marquesas islands, along with specialist equipment like a dive centre, submersibles, or marine research labs.
For the client who loves to sail. The consistent trade winds of the dry season provide exhilarating sailing conditions between islands. A modern sloop combines performance with luxury accommodation for an engaging and active charter.
“French Polynesia is a destination that truly recalibrates the soul, and for me, the magic is most potent in the lagoon shared by Raiatea and Taha'a. Whilst Bora Bora has the fame, Taha'a offers a more profound sense of tranquility. My favourite moment is anchoring in Apu Bay as the sun sets, with the scent of vanilla wafting from the shore over the perfectly still, turquoise water. It is a simple, multi-sensory experience that captures the essence of this remarkable place, away from the crowds, and is the perfect reward after a day exploring the island's pearl farms and lush interior. It reminds clients that true luxury is often found in serenity.”
