For canvas work, Tahiti Sails. Sebastian and his team did my dodger and bimini for my Jeanneau 53, and
the work exceeded my already extremely high expectations.
12-2020 SV Barracuda of Islay Tahiti Sails have just made us a smart new spray hood for Barracuda, and
it’s actually better than the original - we’re very pleased with it. Guillaume is great to work with: very
professional, listens well, does what he promises, is clear about timescales and costs, and pays attention
to detail. All this and he speaks good English too. NB We were warned that our fabric would take six
weeks to arrive from NZ - so worth allowing plenty of time for canvas work.

9-2019 SV Sugar Shack
We had Oceans Sails (Michel Pegart Maitre Voilier) do repair work on our sail bag and he did not do a
good job. After visiting his sail loft and speaking to him about types of threads used and process, we
felt confident he’d do good work. We asked him to quote the repairs on our sail bag (strengthen and
reinforce) and small spinnaker (we blew out clew). The sail bag was the priority as we had a backup
spinnaker.With the sail bag we asked him to patch the small holes, reinforce all stitching, reinforce the batten
sleeves, and re-attach our name flap which came off. He said it would be “no problem, easy job, and
could be done in a few weeks at very little money.” Several weeks later, my husband went to pick it up
and paid $600 (more than a little money to us, but our bad for not getting an exact quote first). When
my husband went to install the sail bag, he noticed several areas had the new stitching already coming
out (Michel failed to lock stitch the beginning and ends). In addition, in several places the stitching was
crooked when it should have been straight. Unfortunately, we had guests coming and needed the sail
bag up. So, my husband finished with the install before we had to leave.
In addition, with the spinnaker he said it would cost well over $1,000 to repair or he would have to cut it
down and charge a little less. This is an 18-year-old spinnaker so it was not worth the cost to repair. We
took it back.
We were very disappointed in the work from Ocean Sails. We had higher expectations since he had
several good reviews, the loft was professional and he “said all the right things.” Very poor craftsmanship
and work.
Airborne 9-2018
We had him take our sails down and fix up any tears or chafing on them (14,500 nm), and he fixed our
SS bracket that lifts our main sail (rounded and polished it to stop the cutting action it had at the head of
the main when it was down), he rounded the ends of our battens so that they now slip into the pockets
with little effort. He fixed the lazy jack sail bag that had gotten frayed on a passage when the second
reef line became tangled around the end. He did a great job of repairing it and making sure that it did
not look like a repair at all. It was a brand new North Sail cradle (they don’t like it when you refer to it
as a bag), so we wanted to make sure it did not look like it had been repaired, and Michel made it look
better than new He also is building an enclosure for the fly bridge stair wells on our L450 to stop rain
from soaking the rear cockpit. He speaks English and French and is very personable. He charges about
what everyone else in Tahiti charges (about $60/hr). He is very busy in high season, but seems to have
more time in low season.

7-2022 SV Liward Just had Sellerie Marine de Tahiti do a complicated repair of our Bimini. Charlotte
did a fantastic job, on time, and the price was reasonable. She is very professional and uses the proper
materials and machine. It does not even look like a repair. Charlotte speaks English. Very happy with her
service and quality!
5-2022 SV Auntie After 2 no shows by a competitor, I contacted Charlotte to make a new mainsail cover.
She is in demand and busy, but she kept in communication until the promised start date. Worth the wait!
This is the best mainsail cover I’ve ever had made! The fit is perfect, the craftsmanship top notch, and
Charlotte and her crew are friendly and helpful.
05-2022 SV CAPALL MARA They did a relatively small job for us but it involved innovation.
They came promptly and finished a day early.
Will speaks excellent English.
They do cushions, awnings and sail covers.
03-2022 SV Airborne Charlotte Jardin, Sellerie Marine de Tahiti, recently completed a new bimini and
shades for our boat. She provided excellent customer support, and good communication in English (note
she also speaks fluent Spanish and French).
Her company offers an excellent supply of quality sample materials for the project which she orders
ahead of the start of sewing. After making the templates on board our boat, she completes the
cutting and sewing etc. in her large workshop in Tipaeru; Charlotte lives on a boat in the Taina Marina
area. Charlotte was always courteous and responsive to requests for changes. Charlotte honored her
quotation which detailed materials and labor estimates. We feel very happy with the results and have
recommended her to several other boats who have used or plan to use her company
