Bora Bora via Huahine Catamaran Cruise

Vessel

Bali 5.4

Comfort and generous space combined with excellent sailing characteristics without heeling. Aboard this spacious catamaran you will find room and privacy not only in the double cabins with private bathroom. Saloon and cockpit merge into a generous open-air saloon. Favourite spots are the sun loungers on the flybridge and the airy cockpit with benches and sun loungers on the foredeck. A bimini provides shade from the sun. The Bali 5.4 combines Catana's typically purist design with outstanding sailing qualities. The model was awarded Multihull of the Year at her market launch in 2019. She is well equipped with watermaker and generator.

The adventure of being at sea

Glide along the trampoline net above the waves. On this cruise aboard a sailing catamaran there is no guarantee that she will be under sail – in unfavourable winds she will also proceed under engine.

Simply arrive and relax.

Region: Pacific (Polynesia)

Französisch-Polynesien zwischen Tahiti, Bora Bora und den Tuamotus zählt zu den außergewöhnlichsten Segelrevieren der Welt. 118 Inseln und Atolle verteilen sich auf eine Meeresfläche so groß wie Europa - mit zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Inseltypen: den hohen vulkanischen Gesellschaftsinseln mit ihren grünen Bergsilhouetten und den flachen Korallenringen des Tuamotu-Archipels.

Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora, Huahine und Raiatea bilden das Herz des Reviers. Lagunen in unwirklichem Türkis, durch vorgelagerte Korallenriffe vor dem offenen Pazifik geschützt, Mantarochen und Schwarzspitzen-Riffhaie im flachen Wasser, polynesische Tanzabende im Lichtkegel des Vollmonds. Vom Schiff aus erreicht man Marae-Tempel im Dschungel, Schwarzperl-Farmen in den Lagunen und versteckte Strände, an die Pirogen-Fahrer einen für ein Picknick absetzen.

Die Tuamotus mit Rangiroa und Fakarava sind das andere Polynesien: Atolle mit nur wenigen Metern Höhe über dem Meer, Drift-Schnorcheln durch die Passes mit Tausenden von Fischen, fast unbewohnt. Frischer Fisch aus der Lagune (oft Mahi-Mahi oder Thunfisch), Tahitisches Poisson Cru in Kokosmilch, Tiare-Blüten zur Begrüßung. Reisezeit ganzjährig möglich, am stabilsten Mai bis Oktober (Trockenzeit). Distanzen zwischen den Gesellschaftsinseln überschaubar, das Wasser innerhalb der Riffe meist ruhig.
