Vessel Highlights

EIAO has been used during the last eight years for chartering in the Society Islands of Tahiti. She sailed directly from France to Tahiti early '98. From this time, EIAO has been operated by permanent crews of three, inside the <> organization. That explains its good maintenance conditions together with the easy sailing charter program realised between Bora-Bora and Tahiti during this time.

Ideally suited for the charter business as well as a private use, EIAO has the well known Fountaine-Pajot style and looks great. Naturally well ventilated, it is nevertheless fully air conditioned. The boat can receive 8 guests in four comfortable guest state room, each one with its own shower and head.
