The founders
Through their knowledge of the superyacht industry and wide expertise of the South Pacific,
combining their passion for diving with their respective experiences led
to the set up of Tahiti Private Expeditions in 2006.
His combined expertise as a marine naturalist and dive instructor along with his knowledge of the various archipelagos has made him and his team the leading dive guides / expeditions leaders onboard superyachts in the area where he has been living for over 20 years.
Further to field studies with marine mammal biologists over several years, Rodolphe has acquired tremendous experience in dolphin & whale watching and behavioural understanding.
As an underwater professional photographer, film maker and award winner of the 2nd Tahiti Underwater Film Festival (FISPOL), he is regularly involved in the filming of TV documentaries. His broad experience in technical rebreather diving allows him to get much closer to marine wildlife.
Thanks to his broad expertise onboard various kinds of yachts, he is also consulted for the dive outfitting / dive operation set-up on new build and reconversion projects.
Rodolphe manages the team of guides, which he has fully trained to meet Tahiti Private Expeditions’ highest standards while aboard a yacht and is strongly involved in the company’s developments.
Acting as the Managing Director for Tahiti Private Expeditions, she deals with the company marketing, PR and strategic developments.
Christelle previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry in both the USA and Europe dealing with PR and liaising on European operational projects before she joined the high-end hospitality industry working for the Aman group.
Her background naturally led her to join the yachting and diving industry a few years after Rodolphe and she relocated to French Polynesia. She worked as a stewardess aboard a couple of Tahiti based luxury charter yachts travelling to the various islands of the country.
Christelle also brought her expertise for 8 years as a consultant to the local board of tourism “Tahiti Tourisme” designing strategic plans and promoting the destination to the superyacht industry worldwide.
She is a member on the Board of Directors of the International Superyacht Society.
Of course, she is also an experienced keen diver and she has been diving French Polynesia extensively over the years!
About 140 different Yachts, 15 years of experience,
Hundreds of trips in Tahiti and around the world.
