More precise position is 17 32.593S 149 33.205W. The opening to the warehouse is on Pierre Loti. About 500m beyond Carreira fabric store on the same road Some Notes of Interest Visited MC Imports today and saw the batteries they had there. The battery of interest to us is their WINNER SOLAR W6A. Sold by an Greek company VIOSY and said to be made in Korea. They knew the Trojan and said it was made in the same place but...no evidence. In every way it looks like a Trojan T105 even down to the caps and lifting lugs on the top of the box. Just is white not brown/red. It is a GC2 225Ah at the 20hour rate just like the T105. I have a cycles vs DOD graph too and it seems to outperform the T105 on that score. Case height is 9.75" and to top of stud is 10.50". Width and length are 7.13" and 10.25". Their price for Winner 6 volt was 26200 xpf if sold as "in transit." Have a very large stock. 6-20-17 Price for a YIT is 83840 CFP for 4 with no VAT and including a 20% discount. The 16% VAT is not charged if you present yacht & customs papers and passport.
11-2017 after buying 4 6V batteries in Sept Found them not having as high of working voltage as the older Trojans. But them seem ok
02-2019 following up after 18 months off use. I am pleased with the batteries and would buy again. But I have found that over watering them kills them for 2-3 weeks. So I have been only putting a small amount of battery water in and not topping up Jacaranda

8-2023 SV Indy We decided to list our boat with Raiatea Yachts mostly because other brokers in French Polynesia would not represent an older monohull priced less than $150k. We were also attracted at the 8% commission rate (vs 10% elsewhere). We have come to learn that you get what you pay for.... We had one of the brokers come and take a tour of the boat, we have them a through overview of the ins and outs of how the boat worked and the codes for everything. After reviewing the condition of the boat and then equipment, we asked their opinion of our asking price and she said it was a good price for the kind of boat we had. Fast forward a month, we are back state-side and they write us saying our boat is way overpriced, and if we want any chance of selling it we need to drop the price by 50%. Suddenly it felt like we were not on the same team any more. If they would have done any research, they would have known that was a ridiculous thing to ask of us for the kind of boat we have and how equipped it is. Communication with Raiatea Yachts was generally terrible. Each time they showed the boat, they sent a different member of their team who was seeing the boat for the first time and had no idea what was going on. They couldn't figure out how to flush the head during a showing, so they sent a frantic email to us saying that the head was broken. Then they went totally quiet for 2 weeks and didnt reply to anything! At another showing, the rep they sent didnt even know where the boat was located, or where the key was, so they are scrambling around unprofessionally trying to show the boat. It was a giant cluster %$@% We hired an independent boat-watcher who did a great job; however had a very difficult time dealing with Raiatea Yachts as well. There were numerous times they called our boat watcher to 1)clean the boat 2)ask if the boat was clean 3)open up the boat for them. We hired a boat watcher independently of them to take care of the boat for us in our absence. The brokers were extremely demanding of him and treated him like one of their employees. To the point that we were worried he would quit due to how they treated him. Isn't that why we gave Raiatea Yachts a tour of the boat, gave them the code of the boat, and agreed to pay 8% of the sale price for the effort they put into selling it? Luckily we were able to sell the boat outside of them but I seriously do not recommend using this brokerage for any of your boat sales. They are unprofessional, rude, and uncommunicative.
6-21 Name withheld by request I had been looking at boats for 3 years. Finally saw one of the type I wanted very cheap online and made offer instantly it was just listed It was accepted (Melodie was broker) I arranged to fly down have boat inspected. Cost me a fortune of work time off of flight of Airbnb of inspection etc etc. I'm on papeete 7 days I ask a question i get no answer for two days I flew and spent all that money to wait in an Airbnb room? I don't think so So I asked another question but this time I didn't wait I made steps to find my own answers from the owners. I got the owners phone number from locals and called them. Melodie was all upset I went around her but told her why I did so. Then I bought the boat (pictures were were ten years old and it was decrepit compared to them) but I wanted a boat and it was cheap I didn't want to waste a fortune having come to see it for nothing (10% of boat price+) So... Then transaction was finished and I was sending friendly emails back and forth to the old owners. And I got a bit of info....the boat had been listed for a year. Wait what? When I saw it it was new listing.. I checked two three times a week all the time. So.. they had been under the impression that it was listed globally and it had not been.. for. A year they had had it for sale and paid marina fees, etc. while she did what?
2019 SV Jacaranda - We tried to use Melodie at Raiatea Yacht Sales in 2019. We wanted to fly from Tahiti to Bora to look and possibly purchase a catamaran she had listed. First she never got back to me after repeated emails and calls. I finally asked friends to stop by her office in Tahiti and tell her that they would not leave until she contacted me. We had a very short schedule to make a flight to Bora as we were departing for Calif in a few days. She never arranged a showing and said she would get back to me....
6-19 SV Recalada gave her a contract to sell their boat. After a year of terrible service and very little action they dropped her and went with another broker. They were very disappointed with her

Our daughter sent it to us with a regular post in bubble envelope for 25 EUR. It took 2 weeks to arrive here. Tracking number is important for that because the envelope came to the post office by Marina Papeete. So, you have to see that your package arrived and go to pick it up.

09-2022 SV Kaipa Nui September 2022 - Adrian did an exceptional job watching our boat for nearly two months while we were out of country. He sent regular reports (including photos) and was responsive to questions. At our request, he arranged for our props to be cleaned and ensured the diver used the specific scrub pad we provided. He even took the initiative to use sikaflex to reattach a small grill over a ventilation opening when he noticed it had fallen off after our temporary ‘repair’ failed. We appreciate his attention to detail, his commitment to doing good work, and the way he follows through on the tasks he’s assigned. Adrian is a solid guy, a true professional, and he has our strong recommendation.
10/21 SV Ziskakan. Adrian at Taina Boat Watch did an excellent job taking care of our boat while we spent time away from Tahiti. He was communicative, knowledgeable, and always gave us professional service, sending us regular updates with any important information and making sure that our boat was in tip top shape for our return. Due to personal matters we had to leave our boat empty for six months per year for a number of years. It gave us tremendous peace of mind to know that we had someone with Adrian’s work ethic and expertise to care for it while we were away.

Yacht Club Area. If you are staying near Tahiti Yatch Club in Arue, buses run from very early until at least 6 pm. Walk across the big sports field to Ave General de Gaulle then a few hundred meters east, stand on the pavement (sidewalk) in front of the funeral home/marble counter tops shop. Wave at any bus you see as they approach. They tend to run about every 20-30 minutes. The cost in Dec 2016 was 200xpf one-way and 360xpf return. The smaller buses go by the nearby Carrefour but this can’t be a 15 minute walk. The big buses stop in the same bus stand as the bus to Faa and Marina Taina. The small buses stop next to the town hall, the Marie.
Marina Taina. The bus stand for Marina Taina from Papeete is a block south east of the main market (marche)just around from Vodaphone. If your French is poor just say Marina Taina to the bus driver and he will tell you yea or nay. The Omotara bus or the Paea/Papara bus go by the Marina. The cost in 2017 was 200 xpf or 340xpf return. The bus drops you just in front of the Marina. Coming back just cross at the pedestrian crossing and look for the bus stop sign.
Walking in Papeete From the Papeete Marina to Fare Ute is 14 minutes at a steady pace. Ocean 2000 is twenty minutes as is Hyper Bricolage. Its similar from the bus stops if you’re coming from the out lying areas. Champion is about 10 minutes from Marina Papeete.

Further comments on why some folks can download android app from play station and others can not. Thanks to SV Hedonsim 1-22
NOT all Android phones can download the APP. IF you have a FP phone and it was purchased here, Google Play should allow you to download. BUT, if you have a Google account not based in FP, you will not see the App as being available. We have 2 phones, one with a Vini Sim and one a Google Fi. Neither is able to download the APP because our Google Acct. is not in FP. I spent considerable time trying to figure it out. Apparently you can change your Google Location and download it but you are only allowed to do that once per year. Google Play it will not even show up. Go on the web to the Tere Tahiti site and click on "download the APP" and this is what you get IF you do not have a FP based account.
You can obtain the app for android here:
