10-2019 SV Longta We bought a pair of sails from Lee Sails in Hong Kong. We were in Nuku Hiva and we used Kevin (Nuku Hiva Yacht Services) as our agent. We used the "yacht in transit" process because of the value of the purchase. Everything was handled seamlessly and our sails arrived (earlier than originally quoted!) on the Aranui.

Jean-Pierre was my initial contact and the person I dealt with face-to-face. He speaks pretty good English. He’s either the owner or the Manager. I think Emilie did most of the leg work and I emailed back and forth with her for some details. I usually sent my inquiries to both of them. Jean-Pierre made the deliveries personally, though, dropping them off at the marina gate using his own car. I usually paid him in cash at the time of delivery, but also paid cash into an account at their bank directly across the street from the marina when some minor adjustments were necessary. I did three imports with Bollore. The first was just an iPad that had gotten tangled up in red tape in the mail. Jean-Pierre did this for free, I think because I’d been personally referred to him by a mutual friend and because we’d already started discussing my bigger shipment. The second was house batteries, etc, amounting to about $4500. The third was a new-used helm pedestal valued at about $500. I’d say Bollore’s fees on these worked out to about 5%. There were no hassles on any of these, only time and patience required, none due to delays that I would attribute to Bollore. Actual shipping into Tahiti was out of Los Angeles through Vanguard at: LALA FARAIMO JR. South Pacific Islands Supervisor Direct: (310) 604-2699 Fax: (310) 847-8008 Vanguard Logistics Services (USA), inc. 2665 E Del Amo Blvd Rancho Dominguez CA 90221 LinkedIn | vanguardlogistics.com As I understand it Vanguard also used to act as an import agent here but, due to some bad actors among us cruisers, won’t do that anymore and I only used their shipping service. Although the requirements for paperwork were a hassle, I had no trouble with Vanguard themselves at all. Roy (SV Mabruka) 9-2018

We used Gondrand for both importing a battery charger and also importing the boat. Battery charger was in customs less than 4 hours before I had it in hand! The company is used by the majority of boats that want to import their vessel into French Polynesia. We can highly recommend them. (Jacaranda) They are located very close to McDonalds in city center. I have only dealt with them via email and phone - Yes importation was all handled via email and phone. (Jacaranda) 

10-2022 SV Auntie AVOID!! Complete fail on Gondrand, largely because of their US partners, I.L.S. Bottom paint I use not available here any longer so bought 8 gallons in Miami and had Gondrand handle all shipping. In the US, I.L.S. lost 4 gallons, and damaged the remaining 4 gallons beyond use. They did not communicate this, had I not repeatedly asked for updates I would still not know. Gondrand’s insurance would not cover because it never reached the dock. AVOID!!

NOT recommended by numerous cruisers who used them and will never use them again. They do not process yacht in transit status and basically were very difficult to work with. If using Vanguard in LA as the US shipper they give you an option of 2 agents to use.

Excellent reports from numerous yachts that have used Laurent. Speaks English

10-2019 SV Amilie We first used PYS when Oyster retained him as yacht agent for the 2013/4 Oyster World Rally We contacted him, again, when in Mexico before departing for Nuka Hiva last Spring 2018 PYS use Kevin (NHYS) in Nuka Hiva and our Fuel Duty Free Certificate were available on arrival, together with Kevin sorting out the paperwork for our entry in FP Marina Taina seems to be pretty well booked up whatever time of year & we’ve met many cruisers who’ve been denied berths and moorings because fully booked. PYS have arranged our bookings and we’ve always been allocated a berth. We were recommended Matt Rigging Services when in Marina Taina, again he seemed constantly booked up, when we contacted PYS we were on the schedule and it was worth the 10% fee charged for going through Laurent. We’ve had occasion to import spares, new sails & a new generator over the past 18 months, each time PYS have sorted clearance at Customs and delivery to Marina Taina within 24 hours of goods arriving in Papeete Airport. As an avid cigar smoker I found myself ordering cigars through PYS to fly them to Rangiroa. They were bought at wholesale, not retail, and even including the 10% buyers fee and freight to Rangiroa they were 30% cheaper than the shop in Papeete. If you want to enjoy cruising these beautiful islands & minimise the time waiting for spares & services we highly recommend using PYS.”
