anyways...
has anyone ever considered/done renting/chartering a cat from papeete to the conrad?
there are many sites that look like airbnbs for boats, and i see them listed as low as $400-$900 a night.
we are a group of 8, which means ~$175 flight (OW ppt-bob) and $75 OW shuttle (from bob-conrad = about $350pp x 8 = $2800 just to get to the conrad from ppt.
and not to mention same thing the way back. so thats $5600 both ways, just to get to the resort.
so my thinking is, we get to ppt a day or 2 before our checkin, leasuirely sail, anchor and jump in the water, and arrive at conrad later in the day, or the next day.
anyone every try this before? or is my thinking way off here.
One other cost to check out is if the hotel charges to use their dock. I know this sounds nuts, but I had a similar discussion with Maldives Hilton Saii Lagoon a couple of years ago and they had a docking fee. Also does the cost include a captain and insurance? Fuel? etc, etc.
