Crossing French Poly to Fiji- Early 2024

Last call! One crew member pulled out for family reasons last minute. We leave Raiatea Between April 25 and May 1 for Fiji planning to be in Fiji mid June at the latest. Message me if interested.


Looking for fun, somewhat experienced crew for next leg of our pacific journey. French Polynesia to Fiji.

Arrived in Tahiti after leaving Mexico in March 2022, sailed around french polynesia with my wife and one crew member for 2 months in 2023, now planning a crossing from FP to Cook Islands, Tonga, and ending in Fiji 2024.

Sailing a 39ft Freedom express. Fully maintained with updated safety equipment, iridium go weather and communications. Captain has owned and sailed boat for 6 years. Looking April 2024 to travel to cook islands, Tonga with destination Fiji. Looking for total of two experienced sailors to join trip. Be safe, learn from each others skills, have fun and love of adventure and new cultures and lands are the only pre-requisites. That is please bring a good attitude!

Paperwork for visas and COVID access to start January 2024. We plan meeting mid April in Radiate to prepare boat for voyage and depart late april.
