Several Taha'a restaurants, farms and motu snacks put out moorings or a dock for their customers. The Raiatea charter bases have long steered crews to these for a mooring with dinner.

Position is the island centre (OSM relation), standing for the whole island. 2025 brief list: Hibiscus Restaurant, Haamene Bay mouth (2 moorings + dock, 87 79 28 81); Taha'a Maitai pier, Haamene (ferry pier, dinghy only); Motu Tuahi snack (2 moorings, day use only, 87 75 04 76); Pari Pari distillery dock and tapas bar, Tapuamu; Motu Pearl Village dock, Faaaha (40 65 66 25); Vanilla Valley pontoon, outside Faaaha Bay (40 65 74 89); Champon pearl farm pier, Apu (40 65 66 26); Ia Orana farm (4 double-buoy moorings) and Love Here farm (2 moorings), west coast; Eden Private Island (2 moorings, hotel guests only). Noonsite warns that some private moorings are unsuitable for yachts: inspect before leaving the boat. Overnight stays still count against the ZMR quotas. The Dream Yacht base guide also mentions 'La Pirogue Api' among restaurants with moorings, without saying which island; it is not in the 2025 Taha'a brief.
