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

SUB TECHNOLOGY
Can do Hydros, repair compressors and fill tanks
Sub Technology is just past the Naval Base but before the Mobile Station on side street towards the harbor.
Tanks in French Polynesia (legally) must be hydro tested every five years and VIP tested annually. You must have paperwork for each test or it will technically illegal for a shop to refill your tank.
10- 2021, SV Marauder - dropped off our steel and aluminum tanks to be recertified. The owner is polite, speaks english, and prices are good...not a huge difference from nautisport but slightly cheaper..He also said he'd be able to get our tanks done sooner than nautisport...haven't gotten them back yet, but hoping soon! Also, unlike places in Hawaii, he did not ask for a cert card to get the tanks' recertification.
