'TU MOANA' & 'TI'A MOANA'
The names of the sister-vessels are drawn from the native Tahitian language, a Polynesian dialect. Whilst the word "Moana" is the universal Polynesian word meaning 'the sea', "Tu" and "Ti'a" both carry similar meanings 'to stand erect, to be upright or straight' and 'to fit, agree, answer the purpose'. Thus, each Cruise-Yacht's name literally means 'comfortably upright in the sea'.

The Cruise-Yachts sail in the calm lagoon waters surrounding Tahiti's leeward islands. Large enough to offer space, privacy and all the comforts one would expect of a larger ship, small enough to offer guests the feeling of private yacht freedom, personal attention, and access to lagoons and other areas where the big ships just can't visit.

There are 35 cabins on each cruise yacht in 3 different layouts on three decks. Average cabin size is 15.6 square meters or about 170 square feet. The cabin design offers a feeling of space through the use of a glass-surround bathroom, large pictorial windows, and other elements. Ceiling height is a healthy 2.3 meters or 7'6". Each Cruise-yacht guest room is equipped with the following : Individually controlled air-conditioning. Personal combination lock safe. Flat screen television . Individual DVD/CD player. Telephone. Mini-bar & refrigerator . Writing desk and stationery. Hand-blow glass fruit-bowl and fruit. Occasional furniture. Under-bed suitcase storage area. Beside reading lamps. Cotton BBC bathrobes.

Tu Moana and her sister Ti'a Moana display the sleek lines of a luxury private motor yacht, each vessel is identical in all areas with the exception of the interior décor. Each mono-hull cruise yacht is 69.1 meters or 226'7" long, has a broad beam of 13.8 meters or 45'3" and displaces 2,677 tonnes. Power is from two Mtu engines that offer a high-speed of 16 knots, and an easy cruising speed of 12 knots. To view Sun deck, click here. To view Bridge deck, click here.

One of the most innovative features is the 2.3 meter or 7'1" draft. Given the average depth of the leeward island lagoons is a mere 5 meters, this unique hull design enables our cruise-yachts to access areas of the lagoon that the larger ships can only dream about. This concept has been operated and proven on a number of new vessels and offers a high level of stability and comfort in the open seas.
