For Services and Resources in French Polynesia

The Tahiti Cruisers Guide is brought to you by Julien Desmont from Xperimental and Chuck Houlihan from Jacaranda. Starting as an idea based on the very successful Panama City Cruisers guide, it has evolved into 200+ pages of information on vendors and services throughout French Polynesia. In January 2018, we added GPS coordinates and links to Google Maps to assist in locating businesses.

Downloading the guide and GPS map coordinates will facilitate using the guide offline. The coordinates will work for either Maps.me (best for Papeete) or Google Maps.

Especially thankful to John (SV Mary Ann II) and Steve (SV Ocean Star) for their huge effort in supplying a vast amount of information for the guide.

The guide is a community effort. Updates and new additions are greatly appreciated. If you find the guide useful or find something that needs updating please drop us a note at tahiticruisersguide (AT) gmail.com

We needed to replace several failed consumer electronic items in Papeete. Tablets and Phones can be repaired near the Papeete Marina.  Carrefour has 1 and 2 gigabyte external hard drives at fairly reasonable prices.  We found a demonstration model, brand name laptop for $317 (US) at Carrefour with a two year in store warranty included.  A new Samsung smart phone built to IP67 military specs for waterproofness was only $272 (US) when purchased along with a Vini contract.
