4th time to deliver this boat. Tahiti To NZ.
This Fountaine Pajot 50 was collected in Tahiti, French Polynesia, before commencing its offshore delivery to New Zealand. Our crew flew into Tahiti to prepare the vessel, complete final provisioning and carry out pre-departure checks before beginning the passage south.
Departing French Polynesia for New Zealand requires careful seasonal timing, with the route leaving the tropical South Pacific and progressively entering cooler latitudes. Selecting an appropriate weather window is an important part of the delivery, balancing steady progress with the changing conditions encountered further south.
The Fountaine Pajot 50 is well suited to extended offshore cruising, offering a combination of comfortable accommodation, practical onboard systems and efficient passagemaking performance. Before departure, particular attention was given to familiarising ourselves with the yacht, confirming the operation of onboard systems and ensuring the vessel was prepared for a multi-week offshore passage.
Crossings from Tahiti to New Zealand are a common relocation route for cruising catamarans, whether for seasonal movements, refit work or owner handover. Yacht Delivery Solutions regularly undertakes offshore catamaran deliveries throughout Asia-Pacific region.
