Resort Details

Set sail on a memorable 7-night all-inclusive TradeWinds AQUA Experience, where you'll enjoy living aboard a sailing catamaran yacht and exploring this beautiful destination. Your yacht will be crewed by a professional Captain and Private Chef, who will deliver exceptional service throughout your journey. The experience includes chef-prepared meals on the yacht and a well-stocked open bar featuring wine, beer, and cocktails. Enjoy a fun and exciting itinerary with excursions and activities such as learning to sail, island hopping, kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, beach hikes, and more. You'll explore charming coastal villages and soak up unforgettable sunsets. This is a Shared Experience, meaning other cabins will be occupied by fellow travelers, creating a fun and social atmosphere onboard.

TradeWinds offers you the unique experience of exploring the beautiful sailing areas of this magnificent destination. Live onboard a catamaran for a week, and visit different islands, with your days ending with cocktails and dinner in quiet bays, where the yacht will moor overnight. Even just hearing the names of these islands is enough to bring exotic images to mind - Raiatea, Bora-Bora, Taha'a ... white powdered sand beaches and water so impossibly aqua-colored that it's hard to believe it's real! The 118 islands of French Polynesia are arguably THE most beautiful tropical islands in the world, and they are the most exclusive. Did you know that Tahiti and her islands welcome less tourists in one year than Hawaii does in one day? You and your shipmates will have this magical environment virtually to yourselves! Our cruise in this fantastic destination takes you through parts of the Society Islands, and include the islands of Raiatea, Taha’a and Bora Bora.
