MARINAS & HARBORS
The islands of Raiatea
and their boater friendly shared lagoon have several marinas and harbors
to anchor your boat and stay for a while. When people from all around
the world sail to Raiatea, they generally anchor in one of 4 or 5 places,
depending on their needs and the extent of their visit...
Information known to TST about the marinas and harbor at this time is as
follows:
RAIATEA
There is one harbor on Raiatea island.
Known simply as Uturoa harbor, it is the base location from
which the second largest city in all of French Polynesia, Uturoa, spreads
out from. (It is probably more accurate to call Uturoa a town, than a city,
with it's entire population being a mere 9,000 or so inhabitants.)
UTUROA HARBOR
Large dock, concrete and wood, capable of handling large craft such
as the Radissons Paul Gauguin and the Renaissance Cruises' R4 when it was operating in Polynesia.
Overnight stays for all craft are free of charge, but for extended stays
you'll need to contact the harbormaster for details.
Contact: VHF 16, or the moorings channel VHF 68. All messages will be relayed
to harbormasters cellphone. Leave your boat name and callback numbers.
There are 3 marinas on Raiatea. Two of them are considered
public, and one of them is privately owned, being used mainly for repairing or services. Known
information about each is as follows:
UTUROA MARINA
Public marina next to Uturoa harbor in downtown Uturoa.
Entrance to the marina is easy to find from the water and well marked
on most charts.
Large vessels welcome.
Overnight stays for all craft are free of charge, but for extended
stays you'll need to contact the marina manager for details.
Contact: Mate Hart on VHF 16 or 12,
or by phone-(689) 66.31.52 |
APOOITI MARINA
Public marina. Home of the Moorings and Tahiti Yacht Charter
companies. All vessels welcome, but no longer than 50 feet or an 8
foot draw..
Space is limited! Overnight stays for all craft are free of charge,
but for extended stays you'll need to contact the marina manager for
details.
Contact: Jean Michel on VHF 68 or 12,
or by phone- (689) 66.12.20 |
UTURAERAE MARINA (pronounced Oo too ray ray)
THIS
IS THE MARINA USED BY ALL VESSELS NEEDING REPAIRS OR SERVICES!
A large, privately owned marina on the northwest side of Raiatea, used mostly for
people on extended stays in the area.
(yes, those nasty repairs and services will keep your boat out of the water...)
This marina is owned by the CHANTIER NAVAL DES ILES and is the home of 4 companies servicing the marine industry.
Contact: Jacques Freixas or Ariel Badinot on VHF Channel 72, or by telephone-
(689)66.10.10, fax -(689)66.28.41
See the boatyards, business, and services section below for more information. |
TAHAA
There is one harbor on Tahaa and a few
good places to anchor or moor boats. The harbor is located in Tapuamu
Bay on the northwest side of the island and is called Tapuamu village. Tapuamu
bay is considered by sailors to be one of the most sheltered in the area,
affording good protection from the famously strong southeasterly tradewinds
known as "Maraamu".
For good places to moor outside of Tapuamu
bay, the 2 most popular places to moor are at the Marina Iti, on the south
side of the island, and also in front of the Hibiscus hotel in Haamene bay
on the east side of Tahaa.
There are a few lessor known spots to anchor and
moor on Tahaa, but it's best, of course, to consult your charts for details!
The majority
of sailing and boat charter companies choose to make Raiatea their home base
for a number of reasons, the most obvious one
being access to the town of Uturoa, and all the businesses and energy that exists
there.
