Carreira Industries Sรฉbastien Lutgen ๐ +68989546890
๐ง textech.distribution@gmail.com
Located: Taravoa
Background: For many years Carreira was the go to store for Sunbrella and canvas supplies in Papeete. During the pandemic they closed down. In Dec 2020 it was reported they moved. A cruiser obtained the new number and called them. Anyway, I just spoke to Sรฉbastien the guys that runs Carreira, which I think is under a different name. He gave his email, since they are in Taravao now, and he doesn't speak much english he prefers to deal with people by email with details or what they need rather then the phone... When I called him I actually asked him if it was Carreira where i was calling and he said yes. I explained to him that, people were wondering if he was still in business and he said โyes" but now we are in Taravao โ I said people have been trying to reach Carreira but the old number doesn't work, so he told me he will text me the new email with his name and telephone number and he did right away, hope that helps....
Biminis, dodgers, cushions, yacht interiors etc. Wide stock of sunbrella, fasteners, webbing, thread, foam open cell and nonwater retaining foam. They will also reburish boat interiors. Mark Bland is best contact with reasonable English. For more information, see Misc.

5-2023 SV Tengah Consider reaching out to Nicholas at Blue Composites in Tahiti. His English is decent but his foreman, Alex, has near impeccable English. Consider using Deepl when writing him. I find in FP that you get much faster responses if you write in French. They are the best fiberglass shop in all of FP and he's a boatbuilder also. I presume they can get a stainless shop to help with the stainless internals.

3-21 SV ZwerfCat We have been over half a year in Tikehau and at some point we really liked to get some stuff from Tahiti. I'm super happy with the person I found to do shopping. He is really helpful, fast AND has a Revolut bank account (you can open such an account in a breeze online yourself if you don't have one yet). So payment is instantly. He also accepts PayPal. If you use Signal or WhatsApp, he takes pictures to ask you which item you meant if it wasn't clear. And he uses a handy shopping list in which you can upload pictures of the item yourself. There is no cash machine in Tikehau and we wanted more cash, so he has been taking money several times for us and just put it in the groceries in an envelope. He also went twice to Gondrand to collect our packages we ordered and added them to the Dory as well. Easy because Gondrand only has local bank account so it's more difficult to pay them. I think he will do anything you want. Really helpful and nice. Speaks very well English. So I highly recommend him:

6-2019 Cruiser They have most of the same products and prices as PT, I have only worked with them once, a positive experience as well.
10-2020 SV Amilie I wanted to share an experience that I've recently had with Maxi in Papeete. In the past I've stocked up on bulk provisions such as nuts, dried fruit etc from Maxi and recently run out. The prices of small packs here in the Marquesas are astronomical, so it led me to do some research. Maxi offers a delivery service where ever you are in FPI. The minimum spend is $150 to get the delivery which can be shared with others, although we had no problem in spending loads more. I contacted Maxi by email and they encouraged me to send in my order by messenger. Within an hour, the order, acceptance, bank transfer in euros and receipt had been completed. They packaged our goods, they called us to inform that the package was on the ship and the box arrived here intact yesterday on the Aranui V. The freight cost was $15. Fantastic service, all in English and so easy. I would highly recommend this service and you don't require a postal address, a local number helps and an email address. I hope this information is helpful and certainly up to date. Keep safe and congratulations on becoming a grandparent, it is wonderful. Before you do the money transaction, Maxi will inform you of what isn't in stock from your list, so there are no shenanigans of getting money refunded or disappointment.

11-2020 SV Kiapa Nui We used SIPAC per seeing Jan's description. Super easy to use, can use cc which is a plus for us, and only additional charge was the Cobia of a high price of 4000 xpf. ;) The boxes were well packed as was my wine. :) If I was at the store myself I would have picked through the fresh and picked the best but I won't complain...well just a bit. They sent pretty moldy broccoli, 2.5 of the 6 red bell peppers were complete mush and I had to throw them away immediately, and about a third of the apples were pretty bruised. On the other hand, all the local grown produce looked great! They made a mistake which I did not notice as I ordered a shit load of food, but they forgot to send 3 packs of the Tiger Prawns. I ordered 3 other packs of shrimp as well so I can see why I missed it and them. :) I received an email the next day and an invoice showing the reimbursement to my cc "in progress". Good on them.
5-2020 SV Hanna This company was recommended by the dive shop in Tikehau. They are a food importer and wholesaler. You can place an order with them and pay by CC. They will gather your order and place it on the ship to the island or atoll of your choice. You do not need to purchase case lots but can buy individual items. It's a grocery importer / wholesaler which also sells retail to individuals, with some great pricing on some stuff I've seen. They deliver to the various islands with $100 order. It might be something to look at, especially for long term provisioning. Most stuff is available by the piece, ie you don't have to buy a case of something, and lots of what they carry are regular retail portions. But if you want to buy a whole brie or 4 kg brick of Emmenthal, they've got that too! I just placed an order with Sipac. I had a couple questions, starting with the shipping glitch mentioned above. They didn't realize that glitch but fixed it right away. Then I had a couple other questions and they answered pretty quickly via Messenger. Website is really pretty good. Payment with US CC was no prob. Confirmation email right away, and they also confirmed via messenger once it went through. I will post about it on FP Cruisers page once I get delivery, a week from tomorrow. See their webpage for cut off times to have your order in by ship name. From their website Sipac at your service! Food wholesaler since 1974 . SIPAC imports and distributes nearly 2000 product references , sold at retail and divided into 4 categories :
โฆ Grocery โฆ Fresh (Delicatessen, Cheese, dairy, meat, ...) โฆ Fruits & vegetables (imported and local) โฆ Fresh frozen
A complete range of products for professionals in all business sectors : โฆ Hotels & Restaurants โฆ Snacks & Trailers โฆ Pastries, Bakeries & Caterers โฆ GMS & Local shops โฆ Communities (Schools, Communes, Associations, Army, Summer campsโฆ)
Follow up from SV Hanna As a follow-up, they sent invoices and bill of lading the next day, .PDFs via email. There are 4 shopping categories on their site: fruit and vegetables, fresh, ( refrigerated: cheese, butter, meat, yogurt etc) frozen, and grocery (dry goods) / hygiene / household products. I ordered in 3 of the 4 categories and each category gets its own invoice and bill of lading. The bill of lading also tells you how many boxes there will be. From my one experience using Juliette for shopping, that's standard for BoL.
