Your guide to unforgettable and safe adventures in French Polynesia

Planning a sailing trip with your family sounds like a dream — and in Tahiti, it can be. But dreams require good preparation, especially when you’re bringing little ones along. In this post, we’ll walk you through practical steps to make your family sailing experience safe, fun, and unforgettable — with just the right amount of adventure.

1. When to Go: Timing Is Everything

The best months for family trips in Tahiti are May through October, when the weather is drier and less humid. These months offer excellent sailing conditions and calmer seas — great for kids and first-time cruisers.

2. Choosing the Right Catamaran for Your Family

Look for boats with:

  • Multiple cabins for privacy

  • Shaded lounging areas

  • Safety nets on deck

  • Easy swim access

At Tahiti Charter’s Catamaran Fleet, we recommend the Lavezzi 40 or Lagoon 42 for families. These offer ample space and comfort, even with young children on board.

3. What to Pack for Kids on a Sailing Trip

While Tahiti is paradise, you still need to plan ahead. Don’t forget:

  • Reef-safe sunscreen and rash guards

  • Hats and polarized sunglasses

  • Snorkel sets for kids

  • Water shoes

  • Favorite snacks and travel games

  • Lightweight long sleeves for sun protection

  • Seasickness wristbands (just in case)

For babies or toddlers: bring a clip-on high chair, portable crib, and plenty of diapers — they’re hard to find on remote islands!

4. Fun Activities to Keep Kids Engaged

  1. Catamaran life can be magical for children. Some of the best activities include:

    • Paddleboarding around calm lagoons

    • Feeding tropical fish

    • Collecting shells on the beach

    • Stargazing on deck

    • Playing with crew pets (some boats welcome animals!)

    For tech-free fun, we also keep a treasure map and markers on board — kids love navigating their “own” island adventures.
