Honestly man, best sailing channel on UA-cam 🤙 you have personally reinvigorated my dream from childhood of sailing to new places to explore. The 5 year plan...... ha ha ha then I'm off, I'll be 44.
Now that's what I call an informative video! Great job to you both... As an EU citizen, I can tell you that @24:25 all EU citizens can enter French Polynesia with only their ID card (no passport needed) and stay for as long as they want with no restrictions. This is because the islands are French territory so same rules apply as for traveling between the countries of continental Europe.
I highly advise using Tahiti Crew as an agent and if you haven’t already looked into it look up how to float your anchor chain and try and find at least two “Pearl Buoys (Rigid) ” before you leave the Americas
Great info guys 👍 and great to hear of the positive experience. It’d be great if you could do a brief of your check in experience as you pass thru each country. Cheers 🎉
I was wondering if there are further restrictions 4 Sailors clearing into the French Polynesia if you have a felony I know Australia has restrictions on felons visiting
I have insurance and yes you need it to get a slip, I almost never stay in marinas but if you want to you need insurance. It was never an issue until I reached NZ where they require $5 million coverage, which I have found impossible to get for a 30ft boat made in 1965 that is American flagged (I was refused by 9 different companies)
😂😂. I couldn't wait until the end of the video for the before question i mean I'vealready see theanswer. And also now... Does EU citizen need to fulfil same requirements in French polinesia? Thanks
finallly a video with educational properties, really not interested in watching you boil water for ramen noodless, i am much more interested in learning these processes in how to visit the islands and destinations and seeing videos of the experiences in meeting the people you have to deal with and the process and why you do what you do. I would love to see how you set your sails and how you use your wind vane. thanks
would you please sequence all your video as (Ep#01 Ep#02 .. ... .. Ep100) at the end of the title, So that we know what to watch after what. Because Suddenly we see you are in New Zealand. But there is a video before how you came to New Zealand. so sequencing at the end will help us to follow you better.
I'm following you on UA-cam and great information, but I will never sail to islands and country's colonized. Sorry guys it's so condescending that they are colonies and called British, American and French islands, but maybe you don't feel that way because maybe you're American, British or French but I'm not and I know how it feels.
Yes colonization was a terrible thing but places like the Tuamotus would either be abandoned or living in the Stone Age still if it wasn’t for funding from their government. And you not visiting amazing places in the year 2023 because of an agreement between two societies over a hundred years ago is just hurting you.
@@SailorJames Yes I don't visited all this beautiful place because of that. It's true 2023 but still today not have right names of Islands and country's 🤔 Or give it back to the native people. Happy for you guys and I wach all your videos and like all you do really great. my principles don't allow it's not about a time period or today's date, it's all about right and wrong and human life…. I hope you understand me
@@SailorJames To be straight, IMO I dont think that word- colonization was even used , what - 3 years ago online? Except maybe in a movie/Australia etc. Am I wrong ? Even with American Indians, its been seen by Me anyway = as a suddenly 2022/23 mainly 23 huge thing.
Honestly man, best sailing channel on UA-cam 🤙 you have personally reinvigorated my dream from childhood of sailing to new places to explore. The 5 year plan...... ha ha ha then I'm off, I'll be 44.
Solid plan!
Ditto !
5 years? man, my plan is 3 years. i dont think i could wait 5 years to leave.
Now that's what I call an informative video!
Great job to you both...

This is because the islands are French territory so same rules apply as for traveling between the countries of continental Europe.
Ireland is in Europe but not part of continental Europe do the rules you have outlined apply to Irish people sailing to French Polynesia?
Ireland is an EU member state, same as Malta, same as Cyprus.
Continental or island, rules are same for all of us!!! 😉
This was the best informative information I have come across. Now we know!!!
That's the kind of information I've been looking for.. !!!
Thanks for this video James. We’re hoping to cross the Pacific in early 2024. 👍
I highly advise using Tahiti Crew as an agent and if you haven’t already looked into it look up how to float your anchor chain and try and find at least two “Pearl Buoys (Rigid) ” before you leave the Americas
This was great and very informative and helpful in my return to sailing
Hello from Canada Just love your video so interesting ❤ great job can't wait for the next one 👍
Very useful info. Thank you for sharing your experiences
Good information as I tend to still think things are simpler than they really are pertaining to the real pirates in this world. Thanks!
Yes that was a good video James , explaining the process .
Dale seems to be a very nice Chap , Thank you both for sharing …
Great presentation, thank you! This is the kind of information you can't on any other sailing channel.
Excellent video man that was super helpful
Fabulous video. This is the sort of stuff that helps sailors no end. Thank you James and Dale for sharing your experiences.
That was a brilliant video thanks lots of solid advice 👍 Land ho captain
Great info guys 👍 and great to hear of the positive experience. It’d be great if you could do a brief of your check in experience as you pass thru each country. Cheers 🎉
Excellent video James, well explained. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great info. Thank you. have a great weekend
Your video made me curious about sv womble, so I googled a tour of womble and there’s James. Soooo cool.
Thanks James; this video was very informative and interesting.
Very interesting. Thank you for your guidance.
Epic episode, James - thank you! And you, Dale - good professional, informative video. I'm headed that way in 18 months or so 🙂
Another fantastic and informative video.
Awesome information
Wish I could check in and out
You are so real brother
Go West from Bora not East!! Apologies to all 😂😂
😂😂😂
Thanks for the knowledge we appreciate it and was a bloody well done educational experience.
Nah nah, you said it so it’s happening. I’ll let y’all know how it goes!
I am not a sailor but I found this video very interesting!
Very good info 👍
i have never herd of this from any other sailing channel, is it optional or mandatory?
What are you asking? Is clearing in optional???? No . Mandatory in all countries.
I was wondering if there are further restrictions 4 Sailors clearing into the French Polynesia if you have a felony I know Australia has restrictions on felons visiting
Do you have insurance on your boat? How important is it to have? Can you get a slip without insurance?
I have insurance and yes you need it to get a slip, I almost never stay in marinas but if you want to you need insurance. It was never an issue until I reached NZ where they require $5 million coverage, which I have found impossible to get for a 30ft boat made in 1965 that is American flagged (I was refused by 9 different companies)
I’m not a sailor (I wish) but it was very interesting information
Nice and helpful video. Please can you put the website or contact of these agent or people?
Thanks and hi from Sudán
I did, it’s in the description
😂😂. I couldn't wait until the end of the video for the before question i mean I'vealready see theanswer. And also now...
Does EU citizen need to fulfil same requirements in French polinesia?

Every episode has its episode number in the first line of the description. They always have.
is all countrys the same with check in...
All countries have their own specific forms and requirements both for prearrival and on arrival
Pushing a year....wow.
Lol "trapper keepers"...youre showing our age!
Always 😂

@@arabesque30 very naive
