About Here Matai

The sailing catamaran Here Matai, 37ft (11m), was built by Excess in 2023 and is based in Tahiti, French Polynesia. She features 4 cabins – 4 Double – for 8 guests, with day capacity for 12 and a crew of 2 who know these sailing grounds intimately.

Sailing from Tahiti

The waters around Tahiti are made for sailing catamarans – steady breezes, sheltered bays, and crystal-clear anchorages within easy reach. Here Matai cruises at 8 knots and features a swim platform. Her shallow draft opens up beaches and coves that deeper yachts cannot access, and the crew’s local knowledge turns every passage into a discovery. Whether guests want to get involved with the sailing or simply relax, the crew adapts to each group.

Water Toys

3 water toys including a SUP board and a 11ft Tender are available at each stop. The crew handles all equipment and logistics, keeping every transition effortless.
