❓FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Shared Cruises
How much does a shared cruise in Polynesia cost?
➡️ The price of a shared cruise typically ranges between €1,500 and €3,500 per person for seven days of sailing. This wide range is explained by several factors: the type of boat (recent high-end catamaran or older model), the season (high season of July-August or off-peak periods), the chosen itinerary (Tuamotu, Leeward Islands, or Marquesas), and the included services.
What is the best time for a cruise in Polynesia?
➡️ The period from April to October corresponds to the dry season and offers optimal conditions for sailing. The sky is generally clear, the sea calmer, and temperatures pleasant without being stifling. Within this favorable season, the months of May, June, September, and October offer the best compromise between ideal weather and more advantageous rates than the July-August peak.
Do I need sailing experience to participate in a shared cruise?
➡️ Absolutely not. Shared cruises systematically include a professional crew composed of at least an experienced skipper and generally a hostess. They take care of all navigation, maneuvers, meal preparation, and anchorage organization. You are simply a passenger and enjoy the trip without any technical responsibility.
How far in advance should I book my cruise?
➡️ For the best periods, especially July and August which correspond to European vacations, it is recommended to book six to nine months in advance. Spots on catamarans fill up quickly and inter-island flights also fill up rapidly.
Can you privatize a catamaran instead of sharing?
➡️ Yes, privatizing a catamaran is entirely possible if you’re traveling with a group of friends or family and want an exclusive experience. The cost is naturally significantly higher, generally two to three times the price of a shared cruise, depending on the boat and season.
