INFORMATION
The Dream Yacht Charter base is located in Uturoa Marina, Raiatea. There are daily flights from Papeete with Air Tahiti (40 minute duration) and also ferries but these tend to be infrequent. Dream Yachts have Harmony monohulls 47ft & 52ft and a range of Catana Catamarans from 41ft to 50ft. If you don’t have the required experience for a bareboat charter, we also offer cabin cruises or fully crewed private charters. The French Polynesian islands enjoy a tropical climate with the average ambient temperature around 27˚c. The waters of the lagoons are reasonably constant at 26˚c. The wet season runs from November to April with average temperatures between 29˚c to 35˚c and the dry season runs from May to September and averages 25˚c to 29˚c. The trade winds blow from east to west and from July to September the maraamu (south wind) can be around 25-30 knots. From December to February the toerau (north wind) can be 20-30 knots.
