“Didn’t want to leave !”

Beautiful location in Opunohu Bay, and away from the shore so no mozzies! Fab breakfast of fruits, bread & jams, plus excellent coffee every morning. The V berth / Captain’s cabin that I stayed in is huge for a monohull, and comfy, and has an ensuite loo too, so feels very private. You can cook your own foods on the gas stove and put perishables like cheeses, salamis, etc, in the chest-fridge. The Mori Ora started life up north in the Baltic, and then ended up in the Tropics, so she’s done some traveling and has a soul; she’s not just some floating-lounge (as many charter boats and catamarans are). JP was the perfect host (Doris was away); he is very helpful, and very interesting to chat to. Our sailing afternoon was great fun .. once I got the hang of the helm/wheel .. and further fueled my ambition to become a sailor myself! Had my first ever rain-shower on deck (but I needed to use the fresh water shower at the stern to wash the shampoo out of my hair as the rain ran out, ha ha). I also grabbed the opportunity to go parasailing over the bay and reef with a local company moored nearby at the marina. My three night stay was over too quickly … I only wish I could press repeat! (Wee traveling companion Morag says the same).

“Sun, Sea, Lazy Cocktails, True Story !”

From arriving at the Yacht Club, we where made extremely welcome. We had good directions to get to the Yacht Club. The boat is beautiful and is located in the beautiful Ōpūnohu Bay. Overlooked by the Amazon mountains of Morea. The yacht club had good food if you wanted to eat on shore. We were advised to take food for the days JP and Doris didn’t provide food. We came up short one day and they shared some amazing food with us, they didn’t have to do this. JP and Doris are fabulous owners. We also had Fani join us for the snorkel tour. She was laid back, really nice, and we had lots of laughs.

“Nice experience, would book again:)”

The staff is great and it’s a great experience to sleep on a boat in such a beautiful place :)

“Super friendly host and great sailing experience.”

Beautiful mooring and great stay!

“Choose adventure over luxury”

Very welcoming hosts and a fantastic experience. Sailing and snorkeling was fun.

“Thrilling stay with lovely hosts”

The hosts are lovely. They embarked on this exciting adventure two and a half years ago, and were generous to share it with us. JP and Doris were kind enough to offer us the main cabin, which was very comfortable. They are extremely easy-going, enagaging and kind. The boat is a dream; three cabins with wooden interior. It is equipped with everything that you will need during your stay. The sailing trip was thrilling. JP prepared a fresh and filling lunch for all of us. I hightly recommend future guests to take the sea sickness pill. I didn't and as a result was nauseus during most of the excursion. The snorkeling part was my favorite, where we got to see blacktip sharks, stingrays and tikis, among dozens of species of fish and corals. On our first night, we got takeaway Thai food from one of the local businesses on the island. After having dinner in the common area of the boat, JP suprised us with a guitar and his talent to play it! We sang dozens of songs. It was harmonic end to a wonderful day. Breakfast is cofffee, fruits and bread with local jams. Quite nice.

“Great experience and scenic view”

We stayed three nights at this lovely sailing boat. The boat is very nice & precisely manufactured. Everything was perfectly clean and we felt comfortable. A wonderful sailing trip was included with information about sailing and a music session. Doris and JP are very heartwarming hosts. Everyday we woke up in the calm marina with a scenic view and got delicious breakfast on board. Close by there is a restaurant which serves great fish dishes. It was a very nice experience and we enjoyed it to the fullest!

“Amazing stay with them”

Doris and JP were very kind with during all our stay. Breakfast was based on bread with jams and fruit, all of very good quality. :) Due to a misunderstanding, we did not bring food for the stay, but very kindly they offered to cook for us and we paid them the menu price. Very kind from their side since the supermarkets were far away and we did not have transport to get around. Note that we did the snorkeling excursions with Doris, who took us to strategic points to see many fish, turtles, as well as being able to swim with sharks and rays. With JP we went sailing, and it was a very rewarding experience as we were able to learn about the world of sailing and the work that having a sailboat entails. Recommended experience for couples who want to get out of the traditional, and meet people from all over the world.

“very good experience.”

the hosts are very gently and give all the information you need. the breakfast is very nice. the dinner is excellent. the public beach close to the boat is wonderful.
