The two sailors were sailing to Europe from French Polynesia when they had mechanical problems that forced them to divert their course.
They are isolating on their yacht in a harbour zone set aside for quarantine, and awaiting the result of COVID-19 tests and clearance from authorities.
Both have been vaccinated at French Polynesia, which is the last place they visited and is COVID-19 free, The Daily Post said.
