Tahiti Yacht Agents

February 24, 2010

The following is from Tahiti Yacht Agents:

The Web page is www.tya.pf/index.php  (check it out for all the services we offer). Tahiti Yacht Agents has made a fixed price offer per boat for the 2010 PPJ fleet. Please give this your earliest attention so everything will be waiting for you in French Polynesia.        
The procedure is as follows:
After discussions with our bank agent we decided that it is preferable to be paid in Euros, because the Pacific Franc is linked directly to the Euro. This will eliminate currency instability. So, when making the Paypal transfer, please select the Euro currency and transfer 77 Euros ($108 USD).

1. Web address https://www.paypal.com (follow the pointer to Send Money, 77 Euros, for Services) to this Paypal address: general@tya.pf with this reference: (there is a box in the payment section for this information) TYA special package for PUDDLEJUMP for (put your vessel name here)
2. Send scanned documents needed for immigration (Please put vessel name in subject line. Please include date of Paypal payment and estimate of arrival date and arrival port.)
   - Copy of all the passports (first pages w/pictures, etc., not entire passport)
   - Copy of the boat registration
   - Crew list and captain's name
3. Cross the pacific with safety, trade winds and some Rum (for me; GRIN)
4. Stop at HIVA OA (for example) and take the first breath of the Polynesian MANA, then go to the police station (gendarmerie) and tell them that you are entering the country with a bond exemption from Tahiti Yacht Agents. They will have the fax I sent them with the letter of guarantee, which make us responsible of you in case of repatriation. Do not use the local PYS agents when you arrive or you will be paying for services already provided by Tahiti Yacht Agents.
5. Continueto enjoy your cruise between the islands of Marquesas and Tuamotu.
6. Contact me just before arriving in Tahiti; I will be there with your deserved flower crowns to take your passports again and make the official clearance at Immigration without extra charges.
7. Enjoy your trip into the Pacific.

Please feel free to contact me for any misunderstanding , and be sure to check out our Web page if you want a berth in Marina Taina or other services.

With my best wishes and regards,
