Charter Tahiti’s boutique 5* cat for family or group
An opportunity for families or friends to come together on virtually their own motor yacht in Tahiti with their own crew, or for companies to reward high-producing staff for a job well done, is to charter the boutique 14-cabin motor-catamaran Haumana in the remote and idyllic Tuamotu Archipelago.
Haumana [pictured right] normally caters for a maximum of just 28 holidaymakers soaking up the sun and the 5* star good life amongst the sparsely-populated islands of the Rangiroa and Tikehau Lagoons, but is also available for exclusive value-priced group chartering for three, four or seven nights.
And it includes services of all officers, crew, chefs, dining and sports staff – even a full-time resident fishing guide – as well as Jet Skiing, kayaking, visits to unspoiled beaches for reef-snorkelling and Scuba-diving, to watch dancing in remote villages, spot dolphins, feed the sharks, and entertainment.
There’s even an almost Hollywood 4-star beach picnic at tables set in a lagoon with wines included and aboard Haumana wines are complimentary as well with traditional French and Tahitian-inspired lunches and dinners, all soft drinks are free throughout cruises and there’s a Jacuzzi in which to relax.

Dress aboard the Australian-built Haumana is casual in a typically friendly Polynesian ambience, and after days ashore guests return aboard to a welcome by ukulele-strumming crew as the sun sets over the lagoon.
Dining in the panoramic restaurant includes plenty of local seafoods and tropical fruits and vegetables, and after a nightly musical show guests retire to spacious 15sq metre cabins with queen-size beds and huge picture windows.
