TU MOANA and TI’A MOANA sister ships are elegant 69m yachts, offering, on five decks, 30 cabins, a restaurant, a lounge, two Jacuzzis, a fitness suite, a spa service and a library with a choice of Polynesian art and culture books.
Specially built in Australia using the combined talents of Austal Ships and Oceanfast, the yachts have a shallow draft which allows them to glide across the lagoons and to enter the very heart of the islands.
Dark and light woods are incorporated into a comtemporary design which successfully marries Polynesian art and the Swedish touch of Tilberg Design. Starck and Kenzo cohabitate in harmony with local artworks which was specially commissioned by the ship owner.
A professional crew is hired through V-Ship the well known Monaco-based company. Both the European and the Polynesian backgrounds of the staff members ensure a personal knowledge of the islands . Attentive to the smallest of requirements, they are efficient, discrete and friendly.
The TU MOANA and the TI’A MOANA offer the opportunity to cruise in style and to enjoy the serene beauty of the Islands of Tahiti.
Beginning by the better known : the Society Islands with Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Taha'a and Bora Bora.
The other option being an escapade to the secluded Tuamotu archipelago, a collection of atolls known for their spectacular black pearls and underwater gardens with names as Rangiroa, Tikehau, Apataki, Toau, Fakarava, Tahaena.
The overall picture of these “voyages” is one of refinement in a relaxed atmosphere.
