Why crews upgrade

three things you’ll pay to get right

A Pacific crossing is 3,000+ nautical miles of open ocean. These are the worries that keep skippers up at night — and exactly what membership solves.

🌦️

The weather

Pick the wrong window and a dream passage turns dangerous. Members get weekly briefings tuned to their departure; premium crews get full personalized routing the whole way.

The formalities

Clearing into French Polynesia is famously bureaucratic. We walk you through every form and bond so you arrive without a paperwork nightmare at anchor.

🛟

Being alone out there

Something breaks 1,500 miles from land. Premium members reach an expert hotline from mid-ocean, and every member sails inside a community that checks in daily.

Aupuru

Boat buyers · Aupuru on us

buying a catamaran? your support is free.

The team that runs the Pacific Puddle Jump is also the South Pacific’s leading catamaran dealership — Excess, Beneteau & Lagoon. Buy your boat through Sail Tahiti and we’ll cover your Aupuru membership (full support) for your first season — plus luxury concierge across French Polynesia.

Good to know

questions before you choose

What’s included (Manava)? +
Tumu is the entry membership: the members’ community & live chat, crew and boat matching, member-only events and partner discounts, plus the planning basics (live tracker, webinars, newsletter, readiness checklist). Videos play as a 30-second preview until you move up to Manava.
How does payment work? +
Tell us which programme fits your project. We will come back to you personally with the details. Membership is billed monthly. As soon as your payment is in, your membership and all its benefits unlock.
What’s the difference between the two plans? +
It unlocks the full video library and monthly live Q&A, and it’s the difference between hoping for good weather and planning for it: weekly briefings tuned to your departure window, hands-on help clearing into French Polynesia, and your Tahiti-Moorea event entry included — plus partner discounts that average €600+ a season. Most crews save more than they spend.
Can I change tiers later? +
Yes — step up from Tumu to Manava or Aupuru anytime as your departure approaches. Plans are billed annually and are non-refundable, so pick the level that fits your season.
Buying a boat through Sail Tahiti? +
Then Aupuru — our full-support plan — is on us for your first season. Talk to our team to see current Excess, Beneteau and Lagoon models.
