Sail Bora Bora’s glassy lagoon on a private 40-foot catamaran: snorkel reef gardens, relax at a floating bar, and explore shallow bays with a dedicated captain. This four-hour private trip blends active snorkeling with chilled island service.

The catamaran slips away from the pier and the lagoon opens like a cool, glassy room—clear water stretching to the coral rim and the jagged silhouette of Mount Otemanu watching from the island. A former racing 40-ft catamaran becomes a private playground for your group: sail, stop, and slide into warm water thick with reef life, then dry off at a floating bar where ice-cold drinks and chilled music set the tempo.
