Private Sunset Cruise Bora Bora — Your Boat, Your Evening

The private deluxe sunset cruise is the same 46-foot Vitamin Sea luxury catamaran as the group cruise, exclusively for your party. No other guests, a dedicated crew, a flexible itinerary, and alcoholic beverages included. Two to two-and-a-half hours on the Bora Bora lagoon as the sun sets over Mount Otemanu, with the crew at your service throughout.

The private format changes everything. The crew adapts the route to your preferences, stops where you want, and dedicates the full two hours to making your evening exactly what you want it to be. Reviews mention the crew teaching a young guest to sail and taking family photos throughout. That level of attention is only possible when the boat is yours.

How the private cruise works

  1. 01
    Hotel pickup by transfer boat — Your pickup time is confirmed by email after booking. Check in with the operator on arrival in Bora Bora to reconfirm your time and resort.
  2. 02
    Board the Vitamin Sea — your boat for the evening — The crew welcomes your group and the catamaran is yours. Drinks are served immediately. The crew takes photos, adjusts the music, and attends to your group exclusively throughout the sail.
  3. 03
    Sailing the lagoon at sunset — The captain positions the boat for the best view of the sunset over Mount Otemanu. The itinerary is flexible — mention any specific requests when booking or on the day and the crew will do their best to accommodate them.
  4. 04
    Return transfer — The catamaran returns and the transfer boat delivers your group back to your resort. Total time two to two-and-a-half hours.

Who is this cruise for

  • Honeymooners and couples celebrating — the most romantic sunset experience available in Bora Bora. Private boat, dedicated crew, drinks included, and the lagoon to yourselves.
  • Families who want privacy — one review covers a family where the crew taught a child to sail and spent the evening taking photos. That experience only happens on a private charter.
  • Small groups marking a special occasion — birthdays, anniversaries, proposals. The flexible itinerary and private format make this the right choice for an evening that needs to be memorable.
  • Anyone who wants the luxury catamaran experience without sharing it — same boat as the group cruise, completely private.

Is this cruise good for families?

Yes, and the private format makes it particularly well suited to families. The crew gives full attention to your group, can adapt the pace for children, and the reviews confirm they go out of their way for younger guests. The 46-foot catamaran is large, stable, and calm on the lagoon.

Good to know before you book

  • Price is per booking, not per person — at $1,362 this covers your entire group. The more people in your party, the better the value per person.
  • Book 59 days ahead on average — private slots fill faster than group slots. Book early.
  • Flexible itinerary — mention any preferences or special occasions when booking and the crew will plan accordingly.
  • Not wheelchair accessible — boarding requires mobility.
  • Confirm pickup on arrival — check in with the operator when you arrive in Bora Bora to confirm your pickup time.
