We Came for Fakarava's Wall of Sharks — But Left With Something More

We crossed the Pacific dreaming about one incredible experience: Fakarava's legendary Wall of Sharks. Every year around the June full moon, thousands of groupers gather in Fakarava, French Polynesia, to spawn. Where thousands of fish gather, hundreds of sharks follow, creating one of the most famous shark dives in the world. But this journey became about much more than a bucket list dive. From the remote beaches of Tahanea to sailing across the Tuamotus, diving alongside hundreds of sharks as a family, and sharing unforgettable moments with friends, this adventure reminded us that the greatest rewards aren't always the ones we planned. Join us as we continue sailing around the world aboard our liveaboard catamaran, exploring remote islands, raising our kids through adventure, and discovering that the dream keeps evolving. If you're passionate about sailing, scuba diving, family adventure, and life off the beaten path, we'd love to have you aboard. 🌊 Subscribe and join us every Tuesday for a new episode!
