Bora Bora Catamaran Sunset Sailing

Bora Bora Catamaran Sunset Sail on a Former Racing Boat

The sport catamaran sunset sail runs on the 40-foot Vitamin Sea, a former racing sailing catamaran that is a different experience from a standard charter boat. Lower, faster, and closer to the water than a typical luxury catamaran, it moves through the lagoon under sail power in a way that feels genuinely alive. Sunbeds on the nets, lounge music on the sound system, chilled drinks, and the Bora Bora sunset as the backdrop.

At $208 per person this is the most accessible sunset cruise option on the Vitamin Sea fleet. The reviews are perfect — both written by honeymooners who describe it as one of the best experiences of their trip. The crew picks you up from your hotel, takes care of everything on board, and returns you when the sun is down and the lagoon has gone dark.

How the sail works

1. 01
   Hotel pickup by transfer boat — Pickup from your resort jetty at a time confirmed by email after booking. Check in with the operator on arrival in Bora Bora to reconfirm your time and hotel.
2. 02
   Board the 40ft Vitamin Sea — The former racing catamaran is waiting at the dock. Step aboard, find your sunbed on the nets or deck, and the crew takes care of the rest. Drinks served immediately.
3. 03
   Sailing into the sunset — The catamaran moves silently under sail across the lagoon. Lounge music, chilled drinks, snacks at sunset, and the light changing behind Mount Otemanu. Two hours on the water as the sky goes from blue to orange to pink.
4. 04
   Return to your hotel — Transfer back to your resort at the end of the sail.

What’s included

Who is this sail for

• Honeymooners — both current reviews are from honeymooners who describe it as one of the best experiences of their trip. The sport catamaran has a more intimate feel than the larger luxury version.
• Anyone who wants real sailing — a former racing catamaran under sail is a different sensation from a motor-assisted cruise. If the sailing itself matters to you, this is the right boat.
• Value-conscious travelers — at $208 per person this is the most accessible Vitamin Sea sunset option. Same operator, same crew quality, different boat.
• Couples who want something active and romantic — the nets over the water, the movement of the boat under sail, and the sunset view make this one of the more viscerally memorable experiences in Bora Bora.

Is this sail good for families?

The sport catamaran is more active and lower to the water than the 46-foot luxury version. It is suitable for families with older children who are comfortable on a sailing boat. For families who prefer more stability and space, the luxury catamaran sunset cruise is the better fit.

Good to know before you book

• Departure at 4:30pm — same departure time as the luxury version. Plan your afternoon accordingly.
• Book 59 days ahead on average — limited spots, book early.
• Former racing catamaran — the 40-foot Vitamin Sea is a different boat from the 46-foot luxury version. Lower, more active, and closer to the water. The sailing experience is more pronounced.
• Wear your swimwear — the nets over the water are part of the experience. You will not swim but sitting on the nets is wet and worth it.
• Not wheelchair accessible — boarding requires mobility.
