A quick call to 'Waitui Marina' on VHF Channel 16 (or
on the telephone to 885-3031), will yield a prompt response. You will be met by our dock staff who will guide you to
your mooring. If you are coming in early, just pick up any of the ORANGE mooring buoys
(since they are inspected twice annually, they're all safe. If you have a concern, we will show you the latest
photographs of them.) and give us a shout after 0700. |
 |
We'll arrange for all of the relevant officials to visit your vessel, and take them out to your vessel, without any charge! |
 |
We have a dinghy dock for your convienence, as well as hot water showers (highly recommended after a long passage!).
As a special service, you may use our chest freezer during the day to store your provisions to save trips back and forth
to your yacht.
|
 |
Of course, during your provisioning you are going to get a bit thirsty, just pop into the Waitui Club for a full range of
wines, beer, cocktails, and soft drinks. |

Navigation Cautions for Yachts Entering Savusavu, Vanua Levu, Fiji Islands |
The Point Passage light lies on the INSIDE of the reef, about 50 meters east of the actual
end of the reef. Chart legends show it as being a lighthouse, in truth it is more on the lines of a light standard
sticking up on the reef. It is mostly, but not always, lit.
|
The rocks on the west side of Point Passage only break with a West to Southwest swell.
In other words, although the reef passage is almost a nautical mile wide, there is such a thing as too much
caution in leaving a wide berth to the light.
|
As you approach Savusavu from the Point Passage light, you cannot see Savusavu, but you
will see the Copra Mill in Balaga Bay, which lies to the North-East of Savusavu. Although it's a nice,
quiet anchorage to visit (so long as the wind is not from the west), it IS NOT Savusavu!
|
There is a mooring for the bows of the inter-island ferrys west of the Main Dock. If there is a ferry at the
dock, it is probable that there is a line between the mooring buoy and the ferry. Based only on observation, no cruising yacht
has been successful in moving the ferry by pushing on the mooring line. The mooring buoy's position,
as determined by S/V Jill Diane is 16˚ 46.597'S 179˚ 19.492'E. This reference is provided for
your convienence and is to be used at your own risk.
|
There is a channel marker as you enter Nakama Creek that you should leave to your port side. An avoidance waypoint, as determined by
S/V Jill Diane is 16˚ 46.659'S 179˚ 19.796'E. This reference is provided for your convienence and is to be used
at your own risk.
|
| If you look off your starboard beam as you pass, you can see the Waitui Marina Building. Hope to see
you here soon! |
