Philippe and Florence were the ultimate hosts! From the beginning with a timely pickup, to the end, where P&F brought us to the yacht club to do brunch with us before our departure, the trip was amazing.
P&F had a lovely boat that was big, clean, and had many spots to lay out in the sun. Philippe took us on numerous snorkeling adventures including doing a top spot near Taha'a in French Polynesia - twice! - and swimming with the sharks/sting rays in Bora Bora. Philippe was always ready to take us out on the water and make sure we got the most out of our experience; it was so appreciated.
Each day, P&F prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for my mother and I as the guests on the boat. I had some food allergies (gluten, dairy, and egg...), and F&P didn't hesitate to accommodate and get creative. Florence made allergen-friendly desserts EVERY day for BOTH lunch and dinner, it was impressive and unexpected! F&P cooked us fish they caught and served wonderful and tasty dishes each night.
Finally, F&P were such friendly hosts. English was not their first language and they put lots of effort into speaking English with us. I truly cannot recommend them enough and wish them the best with their future plans! I would love to do another boat adventure with them anywhere in the world. :)
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience sailing around Moorea on a catamaran with Captain David and Hostess Marjorie. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and tailored to our family of four.
David was not only a skilled and friendly captain but also an incredible chef. Every meal he prepared was fresh, delicious, and full of local flavor. Marjorie was a warm, attentive hostess who made us feel right at home and ensured every detail was taken care of.
The highlights of the trip included swimming with reef sharks and rays—an exhilarating and magical experience that our kids are still talking about! David and Marjorie were both incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable and confident during all our activities. They were attentive to every detail, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them.
If you’re looking for a dream sailing trip in Moorea, we can’t recommend this team highly enough. It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure we’ll never forget!
It was a pleasure sailing with David, he really went out of his way to take us to the best secret spots and make the holiday truly special!
He is also an excellent chef and prepared fantastic meals for us.

What can I say, our host David and Sarah were so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We had quite a few options given to us before we decided which trip to take with them. It could not have been better. The food prepared and cooked by David was excellent and Sarah was always on hand with drinks or just to chat to myself and my wife. The snorkeling and use of the paddleboard and kayak were great. We saw plenty of fish, coral and the sea was beautifully clear. The trip was made extra special by David when he took us to the Motu on our last but 1 day. To have reef sharks and rays swim around your feet was truly sensational. I would recommend David and Sarah to anyone who wants to experience French Polynesia by boat. We spent 5 weeks in Polynesia and the trip made as by far the best part of our holiday. Thank you so much both. See you soon hopefully. X Best wishes Paul & Jackie x
We had such a wonderful time with David and Sarah onboard Tiva! We sailed around the island Moorea which was so incredibly beautiful- literally breathtaking! We swam with sharks, stingrays and turtles, went kayaking, relaxed on the boat and did a guided tour of the island.
David is a great captain and made sure that we got to experience the best of French Polynesia. On top of it all, he cooked us the most delicious meals every day relying on fresh local produce and fish (among others a shrimp bisque that we are still dreaming about!).
David and Sarah constantly made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We feel very fortunate to have spent time with them on Tiva ❤️

David was a fantastic boat captain and chef! He was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Our family had an amazing time together sailing the Leeward Islands with David. Thank you so much for the wonderful memories and hospitality. We can’t wait to come back and sail with you again.
