We were in Nuku Hiva and we used Kevin (Nuku Hiva Yacht Services) as our agent. We used the "yacht in transit" process because of the value of the purchase. Everything was handled seamlessly and our sails arrived (earlier than originally quoted!) on the Aranui. Iaorana Yacht Services Island: Raiatea Nathalie's info : Iaorana Yacht Services +689 87 34 90 79 [email protected] www.iaoranayachtservices.com Boat keeping, laundry, organization of repairs, importation of spare parts, bike rent (soon), any other services on request. Need a part while in the Leewards? Natalie is great at obtaining parts! (Jacaranda) Highly recommended (SV Southern Comfort) 10-2019 SV Counting Stars I just retired, and Nathalie at Iaorana Yacht Services took care and upgraded my US flagged boat "Counting Stars " for the 18 months before I moved aboard 2 months ago. She oversaw serious projects, such as repositioning my windlass, and simple projects like switching to LED lights. Kept my boat safe from storms. I am very satisfied with the service over an extended time, and highly recommend her service.

He speaks pretty good English. He’s either the owner or the Manager. I think Emilie did most of the leg work and I emailed back and forth with her for some details. I usually sent my inquiries to both of them. Jean-Pierre made the deliveries personally, though, dropping them off at the marina gate using his own car. I usually paid him in cash at the time of delivery, but also paid cash into an account at their bank directly across the street from the marina when some minor adjustments were necessary. I did three imports with Bollore. The first was just an iPad that had gotten tangled up in red tape in the mail. Jean-Pierre did this for free, I think because I’d been personally referred to him by a mutual friend and because we’d already started discussing my bigger shipment. The second was house batteries, etc, amounting to about $4500. The third was a new-used helm pedestal valued at about $500. I’d say Bollore’s fees on these worked out to about 5%. There were no hassles on any of these, only time and patience required, none due to delays that I would attribute to Bollore. Actual shipping into Tahiti was out of Los Angeles through Vanguard at: LALA FARAIMO JR.

Although the requirements for paperwork were a hassle, I had no trouble with Vanguard themselves
