Marquises 56 sail catamaran

Chartering a luxury crewed Marquises 56 Catamaran yacht charter sail boat in Tahiti, Pacific Islands, is a truly wonderful experience! IA ORANA and MAEVA … WELCOME ABOARD!
If there is the slightest bit of stress still left in your baggage, it will soon be forgotten the moment you step onto the deck of this lovely Tahiti charter catamaran. She offers plenty of space and genuine comfort – this is the first thing you’ll notice when you step aboard this large catamaran.

Your charming hostess will have just crowned you with flowers in the typical Polynesian tradition; the welcome introduction will have broken the ice ….. Your Tahiti yacht charter is on the way now!
Each Tahiti Marquises catamaran has a team of one skipper and one chef-hostess, occasionally assisted by a guide. Both your crew are experienced sailors and will be able to guide you to the best secret places with their expert local knowledge.

As such the yachts boat handling and safety is left entirely to the crew to take care of. However, if you do like sailing or dream to learn how to sail, you may take the wheel, send the mainsail up or ask the skipper that he tells you a few of his secrets.

Unless you prefer to watch the crew do the handling while you are comfortably lying on one of the two large “trampoline/sunbathing areas” at the front of the boat.

Cabins and bathrooms are kept impeccably clean, with linen changed regularly.
As to the delicious cooking served aboard, you will be sole judges but we already know that you’ll love it.

Depending on your tastes or desires, your leisure activities will also be organized by your crew with the concern to not disturb your privacy while maintaining safety at all times.

You may like to swim in the company of rays, go for a kayak ride to a desert motu, go for a world class surf, or discover the most attractive coral areas as though you were in a giant aquarium. On returning from a 4×4 land excursion, a long drink served by your skipper will surely be most enjoyable at this magical time when the sun sets the lagoon ablaze.

And in the evening, a time for reverie after a fine dinner under the stars …

MARQUISES 56 – A CATAMARAN FOR THE SUN
Design of the MARQUISES 56 is by Jean Berret, with the interior design by Olivier Flahault. The concept is a craft designed for the sunniest regions of the world, both for private owners or charter use, but with the capabilities of long passage-making or ocean crossings if required.
Special features of the design aimed for use in hot climates include the overhang of the cabin roof, which cuts out the direct rays of the sun from hitting the windows and prevents the greenhouse effect from raising the interior temperature. This is combined with 10 wide opening hatch/windows round the saloon, plus hatches in the insides of the hulls, to give excellent ventilation in the hottest of conditions and remove the need for heavy and costly air-conditioning.
The sail plan is designed for ease of handling, with a big main, but small, easily-tacked jib, with no overlap. The standard rig features a clever system that utilizes the electric anchor windlass to hoist the mainsail, the only heavy operation required, but a roller-furling main can be supplied as an extra.
Maximum speed under power is 9.8 knots with cruising speed being 8.5 knots at 75% power.
