Your new sailboat purchase made simple

Buying your boat new comes with several advantages: you can choose the layout and the equipment to suit your needs, organizing financing is easier for a new boat, boat maintenance requirements are low, the boat is under guarantee and you can benefit from the knowledge and the after sales care of your dealer.

The questions that we are often asked by our clients planning their sabbatical are,

• “How soon can I get sailing on my boat in French Polynesia?” and
• “How can I learn ocean sailing and caring for my new boat?”.

To help, we’ve put into place services to help you to to prepare your new boat, to deliver it to your sail away port and to learn ocean sailing.
