Sailing to Tahiti:

find the right boat to turn your dream into reality

After two wonderful years of sailing with their kids from France to Tahiti and discovering the beautiful islands of Polynesia on their catamaran, Nikki and David created Sail Tahiti in 2015.

Since then, they’ve been there for countless crews, cheering them on as they set off on voyages across the Atlantic, Pacific, and even around beautiful Polynesia. Today Sail Tahiti is the leading catamaran dealership in the South Pacific, distributing prestigious brands Excess, Beneteau and through our parent company Lagoon catamarans.

More than just a dealership, we are a team of sailors 100% dedicated to helping you turn your blue-water sailing dream in a real adventure.

Since 2026 Sail Tahiti has succeeded Andy Turpin in organizing the Pacific Puddle Jump. So if you need a boat for your adventure, contact us now !
