Hello friends,
Is the crossing Maupiti-BB as bad as what I read? Heard that the crossing is usually very very rough. Is that the standard? How long is the trip?

Many thanks!

Andie it is appr. 1h40 minute, yes it can get rough but it's a nice ride, especially the Maupiti pass, with predominant wind coming in from the east M to BB is usually more "hurly" than the other way around
