Tahiti is our premium destination and live aboard course. This will be the trip of a lifetime for those who are willing to make the journey! No description of these mind boggling islands can come close to doing them justice… Dramatic volcanic peaks, covered in lush jungle cascade down to turquoise lagoons teeming with colorful fish and coral. On our week aboard we visit the islands of Raiatea, Tahaa and the world famous honeymoon destination of Bora Bora. We use brand new Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40s and Bali 4.1s for our cat courses, and new Dufour 520GL sailboats for our monohull courses in the area. These are both amazing vessels for a week’s adventure!
Explore this stunning location while earning American Sailing Association 101,103, 104 and 114 certifications (Basic Keelboat, Basic Coastal Cruising and Bareboat). Over the course of a week, learn to sail and gain the knowledge, experience and certifications to charter sailboats anywhere in the world, and embark on your own sailing adventure!
The islands of Tahiti, with their jungle covered peaks, pristine lagoons, and powder white sand beaches are the quintessential, idyllic South Pacific destination. Passages between islands are perfect for applying our new found sailing skills, and each night we enter a protected lagoon to anchor for the night. This area is considered a more “advanced” sailing area, with it’s challenging reef passes and tricky anchorages, which makes it perfect for a live aboard course. The locals are incredibly friendly and there is a vibrant local culture.
