10-2019 SV Longta We bought a pair of sails from Lee Sails in Hong Kong. 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.

Jean-Pierrewas myinitial contact and theperson Idealt with face-to-face. Hespeaks
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:

Vanguard Logistics Services (USA), inc.
2665 E Del Amo Blvd Rancho Dominguez CA 90221
LinkedIn | vanguardlogistics.com
As I understand it Vanguard also used to act as an import agent here but, due to
some bad actors among us cruisers, won’t do that anymore and I only used their
shipping service. Although the requirements for paperwork were a hassle, I had no
trouble with Vanguard themselves at all.

Gondrand Transit & Voyages
Weused Gondrand forboth importing abattery chargerand also importing theboat.
Battery charger was in customs less than 4 hours before I had it in hand!
The company is used by the majority of boats that want to import their vessel into
French Polynesia. We can highly recommend them. (Jacaranda)
They are located very close to McDonalds in city center.
I have only dealt with them via email and phone - Yes importation was all handled
via email and phone. (Jacaranda)

AVOID!! Complete fail on Gondrand, largely because of their US partners, I.L.S.
Bottom paint I use not available here any longer so bought 8 gallons in Miami and
had Gondrand handle all shipping. In the US, I.L.S. lost 4 gallons, and damaged
the remaining 4 gallons beyond use. They did not communicate this, had I not
repeatedly asked for updates I would still not know. Gondrand’s insurance would not
cover because it never reached the dock. AVOID!!
Poly Trans
Island: Tahiti
NOT recommended by numerous cruisers who used them and will never use them
again. They do not process yacht in transit status and basically were very difficult
to work with.
If using Vanguard in LA as the US shipper they give you an option of 2 agents to
use.

Excellent reports from numerous yachts that have used Laurent. Speaks English
10-2019 SV Amilie We first used PYS when Oyster retained him as yacht agent for
the 2013/4 Oyster World Rally
We contacted him, again, when in Mexico before departing for Nuka Hiva last Spring
2018
PYS use Kevin (NHYS) in Nuka Hiva and our Fuel Duty Free Certificate were available
on arrival, together with Kevin sorting out the paperwork for our entry in FP
Marina Taina seems to be pretty well booked up whatever time of year & we’ve met
many cruisers who’ve been denied berths and moorings because fully booked. PYS
have arranged our bookings and we’ve always been allocated a berth.
We were recommended Matt Rigging Services when in Marina Taina, again he
seemed constantly booked up, when we contacted PYS we were on the schedule
and it was worth the 10% fee charged for going through Laurent.
We’ve had occasion to import spares, new sails & a new generator over the past
18 months, each time PYS have sorted clearance at Customs and delivery to Marina
Taina within 24 hours of goods arriving in Papeete Airport.
As an avid cigar smoker I found myself ordering cigars through PYS to fly them to
Rangiroa. They were bought at wholesale, not retail, and even including the 10%
buyers fee and freight to Rangiroa they were 30% cheaper than the shop in Papeete.
If you want to enjoy cruising these beautiful islands & minimise the time waiting for
spares & services we highly recommend using PYS.”
