Our 7-day cruise aboard the Apetahi II with our best friends was truly life-affirming! I can’t stop daydreaming about it—my heart is still out there on that catamaran with Captain Steve, Benji, and Maeva. We set sail from Huahine and made our way to Ra’iātea, Taha’a, and finally, breathtaking Bora Bora. Captain Steve has the itinerary perfected—every day felt like magic, filled with laughter, discovery, and moments we’ll never forget. The crew was warm, genuine, and endlessly thoughtful. Maeva spoiled us with delicious homemade meals, while Benji guided us to the most incredible snorkeling spots, beaches, and hidden gems. The boat itself was very clean and comfortable. If you ever have the chance, trust Captain Steve to take the helm—you’ll be free to relax, soak in the world’s most beautiful views, and make memories that will stay with you forever.

We spent a fantastic week aboard the Apetahi catamaran. We embarked in Huahine and our journey ended in Bora Bora, passing through the islands of Raiatea and Taha. The atmosphere on board was excellent thanks to the constant good humor of Julia and Steve, our hosts, as well as Thomas, our skipper. The excursions offered were varied and interesting: plenty of snorkeling, of course, but also wonderful discoveries on land, such as the pearl farm, the rum distillery, and the vanilla plantation. For the more adventurous, a two-seater kayak and paddleboards are available while anchored. For the more adventurous, you can face formidable opponents at Skyjo or Yam! Special mention to Julia for her cooking skills: we were spoiled from breakfast and at every meal with fresh and varied dishes. We had a blast! The cabins are quite spacious and well-appointed, and we were able to store all the contents of our (too) large suitcases in the storage space provided. Each cabin has its own hot shower and toilet. They are well ventilated thanks to a side hatch that creates a breeze through the overhead porthole. For warm or windless nights, a fan is also available to cool off, which is very welcome. Many thanks again to Julia, Steve, and Thomas for this wonderful stay! Camille and Rachid

Wonderful 4 day sailing with Steve, Julia and Henere. We saw so many amazing beaches, fishes, corals, manta rays. Food was amazing like Michelin - Julia star catamaran restaurant, DJ Steve with Ibiza style music (and fresh caught fish) and Henere with Tahitian magic, trio fantastique. Maruuru and see you soon
