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

Note: Mismarked on the marina map. They are located on the first left once over the bridge in Motu Ute. Then turn left once in the yard and backtrack towards the bring. Last opening before you get to end of building
The biggest machine shop which services the large commercial enterprises is Poly Industries which is on Motu Uta in the first building on the harbour side of the road after the bridge from Fare Ute. Their charges are $120 an hour. Excellent work. Expect to wait several days.
