Private Cap Camarat 17' with Captain: A personal passage through Bora-Bora’s turquoise lagoon.
This is a private boat rental experience aboard a 17‑foot Cap Camarat, operated with a captain who adapts the day to your wishes — from lagoon snorkeling to a stop in Vaitape — framed by Bora‑Bora’s reef and crystalline waters.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Snorkel the turquoise shallows
The trip centers on exploring Bora‑Bora’s lagoon: your captain will position the Cap Camarat for free‑diving with mask and snorkel to observe coral gardens and marine life while following strict no‑feeding and reef‑protection practices.
Tailor your course — from lagoon to town
This private formula lets you set the itinerary: linger over snorkeling spots, request a visit to Vaitape for shopping, or simply coast the lagoon while the captain handles logistics and local navigation.
Compact, practical Cap Camarat 17'
The 17‑foot Cap Camarat seats a small party comfortably, offers a sun awning and an easy boarding ladder, and is operated by a captain so you can focus on the scenery and snorkeling.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
You step aboard a privately crewed Cap Camarat and set an agenda with your captain — a short 2‑hour exploratory loop through reef shallows, or a longer outing that folds in additional snorkel stops and a visit to Vaitape. The rhythm is unhurried: snorkeling sessions, drifting in the lagoon, and the quiet competence of a local captain who manages transfers and navigation.
