Polynesia, Papeete Marina

Smack in the heart of Papeete, this marina puts you steps from the capital's markets, restaurants, and waterfront buzz. It handles vessels from 12 to 100 meters across 87 berths on two large pontoons, so whether you're on a modest yacht or something serious, there's room. The setting is genuinely hard to beat — you're on the seafront of French Polynesia's main city, with hot showers, a lounge, and WiFi waiting when you tie up.
