This delivery involved relocating a Fountaine Pajot catamaran from Raiatea back to Queensland after completing time in charter service in French Polynesia.
Ex-charter yacht multihull deliveries often require additional preparation before departure, particularly around onboard systems, sail handling gear, and general offshore setup after extended commercial use in the islands. The route from Raiatea back toward the Australian coast also involves long offshore sections with limited support options once committed across the Coral Sea.
Conditions during the passage were fairly typical for the South Pacific trade wind routes, allowing steady progress westbound toward Queensland. Catamarans in the Fountaine Pajot range remain common throughout the Pacific charter fleets due to their accommodation space and practical cruising layouts, which also makes them regular candidates for offshore relocation work.
At Yacht Delivery Solutions, we regularly manage catamaran deliveries between French Polynesia and Australia and are very familiar with all the Fountaine Pajot cats.
