What To Expect
Come and share my passion for traditional sailing aboard Vaapiti. The first double pirogue with sails approved in Polynesia.
Built by me in 4 years, you'll be able to discover my history and connect with the culture of the great Polynesian sailors.
You'll have the chance to learn traditional skills (hoisting the sails, steering the va'a) while stopping off in places steeped in history and rich in biodiversity (sandbanks, tropical fish, rays and sharks, motu, submerged tiki and a few secret spots).
On board, I'll bring a cool box full of fruit, cold drinks and local snacks.
The trip lasts between 4 and 5 hours. Morning (8am - midday) or afternoon (2pm - 6pm).
The trip is suitable for everyone and no sailing experience is required.
I will also share with you all the images taken during the outing (GoPro 7) ready to film if you wish.
See you soon for the Vaapiti adventure!
