About this tour
Pilot your own solar-powered catamaran across Bora Bora's lagoon on this four-hour private charter. No license needed—a trained crew member stays aboard to handle navigation while you steer toward secluded anchorages, coral gardens, and crystalline shallows. The electric hull produces zero emissions, letting you move through protected waters quietly enough to spot rays and reef fish without disturbing them. Ideal for couples, small families, or friends wanting a personalized day without the noise and fuel smell of conventional tour boats.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the dock, receive a brief orientation on catamaran controls and safety, then cast off with your crew member. Most of the day is unstructured—you decide where to anchor. Typical stops include shallow reef zones perfect for snorkeling (equipment supplied) and calm bays where you can swim or simply float and read. The boat handles responsively; even first-time operators pick up the basics within minutes. Bring sunscreen; there's minimal shade. Water and fresh pineapple or papaya appear mid-morning. The crew photographs you snorkeling and sailing, emailing images afterward.
Good to know
Infants must remain on an adult's lap at all times. Unsuitable for people with severe spinal issues or serious heart conditions. Snorkel fins cost extra and must be requested in advance. No tipping expected but always welcome. Depart early morning to secure the calmest water and longest light for photography.
