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

Dominic and Ven helped us with a bad waterintake in our Volvo D2-55, taking it a part and cleaning everything, changing some parts. Motor is working good. They were kind, but had a very hard time to show up to appointed times, even though we prepared many weeks in advance.
The second part they did fuck us up seriously. They had an idea of how to stop exhaust water getting into the motor. They gave us a choice of manual or electric. Then they asked us to order the parts from Ali Express, took many weeks and takes a lot of work with customs. Ended at like 300 $. Then there idea of solution did not work, and they just stopped communicating, yelling at us for costing them a lot of money..... We were already delayed for departure and we had to find a solution in a few days even if we had waited for Dominiqe for many weeks. So please, if possible, work with someone else.
