About Port of Raiatea

Also known as: Marina Apooiti

Raiatea is a marina located in French Polynesia. It serves as a harbor for yachts and other vessels.

Background
Raʻiātea or Raiatea is the second largest of the Society Islands, after Tahiti, in French Polynesia, in the South Pacific Ocean. The island is widely regarded as the "centre" of the eastern islands in ancient Polynesia and it is likely that the organised migrations to the Hawaiian Islands, and other parts of East Polynesia, started at Raʻiātea.
