Embark on an unforgettable day trip aboard Blue Lagoon, a luxurious and modern canoe designed for comfort and relaxation. Lounge on its spacious trampoline or unwind in the cozy seating areas as you cruise around the beautiful island of Raiatea on the exclusive “Apetahi” tour.

Marvel at the graceful movements of dolphins in their natural habitat and soak in the serene beauty of the surrounding turquoise waters.
Your adventure continues with a stop at the pristine motu of Nao Nao, where you’ll snorkel through a vibrant and preserved coral garden teeming with marine life. Then, step back in time at the sacred Marae de Taputapuatea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. The tour concludes with a peaceful ride along the lush Faaroa River, often described as Raiatea’s “Amazon,” where you’ll glide past dense tropical vegetation and experience the island’s raw, natural charm in an unforgettable way.

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

We had the most amazing time on our honeymoon sailing on the Catamaran Apetahi for 8 days. Steve and Julia were incredibly kind, and they took us to amazing lagoons with beautiful views in Raiatea, Taha’a, and Bora Bora. We were able to snorkel, paddle board, swim with sharks, manta rays, and even saw a whale! All of Julia’s meals were delicious, we told her she needs to write a cookbook one day. We caught a skipper jack tuna out on the water and Julia made the most delicious sashimi with it the following day! The catamaran was a dream and in perfect condition, and we were so happy we decided to go with their charter. They truly go out of their way to give you a time you will remember for life. Thank you Steve and Julia and of course our guide Thomas who made this trip so so special.
