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.
I’ve followed the Conrad BB thread for at least 5 or 6 years and I’ve never seen this topic come up once. If you end up getting info on a charter post about it here, I’d love to read it!
I bare boated BVI for a week with my family and it was a phenomenal experience. I would love to do it in French Polynesia and see all the smaller outskirt islands. Though all the bars and rum in BVI contributed a lot to that enjoyment and I’m not sure if FP can match it. 🤪
