About this experience

Vaapiti was custom-built for my passions: surfing, diving, fishing and, above all, sailing. Since launching my va'a 5 years ago, I've had some incredible experiences.
I want to share with you the feeling of freedom that the wind and the ocean offer.

When you come on board, you'll be part of an epic that began thousands of years ago.

See you soon for the Vaapiti adventure!
