French Polynesia is certainly one of the world’s best cruising destinations for large yachts as it offers an exceptional collection of stunning anchorages, security at all the times (no hurricanes, no pirates!) deep tranquillity, renewed pleasures for active visitors in a preserved environment (diving, fishing, hiking, parasailing, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing,…), modern communication and transport infrastructures and an intereresting culture made of mixed influences from Polynesian, French and Chinese people. At Papeete, the Port Autonome de Papeete has created docks reserved to large yachts.
