Question Mail delivery to Fr Polynesia

OK, so no responses to buying an AIS in Fr Polynesia.

Can anyone help me with info on where something can be mailed to await arrival of a boat?

Way back when, post offices had a service called Poste Restante where they would hold mail for you. No idea if this still exists, even more so in Tahiti.

Any alternatives?

Yes, Poste Restante still works in FP. Be sure it is addressed to all of whoever will pick it up, and with the Please Hold For Yacht in Transit easily noticeable on the package or envelope.

Peoples Names
Yacht xxxxxxxxxxxx
Poste Restante
Papeete, Tahiti,
South Pacific

Take your passport with you when you go to pick it up. A person to whom you are not married cannot pick *it* up for you, even with ID.
