Marlon Brando, the actor in "Mutiny on the Bounty," set foot on the island of Tetiaroa in French Polynesia and decided to stay forever, and there's a good reason for that. The archipelago boasts rainforest-covered mountains and lagoons surrounded by coral reefs, attracting superyachts away from the Mediterranean and the Caribbean to explore its clear, biodiverse waters. Here's why.
Firstly, it is a remote region located at the center of the Pacific, an eight-hour flight from the US West Coast and the Australian East Coast. It offers the "accessible only by boat" experience that more and more boat owners and charter guests seek. Adventure yachts Arctic P and Suri were regulars last season, and the sailboat Farfalla is one of the yachts stationed in the area this summer. In November, guests can board the 157-foot-long Hanse Explorer, a private charter plane, to experience the social archipelago. It is one of only two yachts that EYOS Expedition staff participate in each charter, guiding guests away from the popular tourist islands like Bora Bora to must-visit destinations for yacht trips such as Huahine, Moorea, Raiatea, and Taha'a.
Hanse has an 8,000 nautical mile range and a professional dive center, making it perfect for adventures in tropical regions. It ensures a comfortable 10-hour night sail from Papeete, the capital of Tahiti, to Taha'a, the wild vanilla orchid growing site.
And these atypical French sunglasses are perfect for swimming with whales and exploring deserted islands.
Brand founder Antonin Chartier does not possess the typical characteristics of an entrepreneur. After completing a sports study program and several years of psychology courses, he decided to start a business. In November 2010, at the age of 23, he presented his ideas to about 30 participants in a start-up competition held in Toulouse. That's where Jimmy Fairly was born.
