Coconut Hunting in Remote Toau | How We Harvest, Open & Use Coconuts Aboard Our Sailboat

Welcome back aboard SV Goose! Today we’re exploring the quiet, remote beauty of Toau Atoll — and going on a little coconut-hunting adventure. 🌴⛵️

Out here, coconuts are everywhere. So we take you along as we wander through this stunning motu in search of the perfect ones. Then we show you exactly how we harvest, open, and use our coconuts—from fresh coconut water to creamy meat to all the delicious ways we turn them into boat-life treats.

It’s a simple day, a random journey, and one of those moments that reminds us why we love living out here in these remote corners of French Polynesia. Life slows down, the water is bright and clear, and even something as small as cracking open a coconut feels like magic.

Thanks for joining us on another little slice of life aboard SV Goose.
