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

0202022. SV Auntie GREAT SEWING MACHINE REPAIR! Had my 60 year old Pfaff sewing machine repaired and seviced yesterday by a wonderful man. I highly recommend Celstine for non-electronic sewing machine repair. Call the phone number in the Tahiti Cruising Guide (not the one posted here several weeks ago), and he will come meet you at the Faa’a airport and take you to his house which is place of repair. He is a master!

The coordinates may be accurate, but the neighborhood is complicated, best win is to call and follow him.

11-2021 SV Freevol It is really perfect, fast, and explains everything he does and why, tells you about all your maintenance faults and the remedies to be taken. It is not expensive at all !!! He repairs all brands of sewing machines, including professional ones.
