Baie Chasseloup is a sheltered anchorage in the NW of New Caledonia. The anchorage is about 6 km from the town of Voh, which makes access to facilities difficult unless you have transport.  There is a pleasant beach front inshore from the anchorage and a road leading to Voh, but no regular transport and no facilities of any sort nearby.

If you are traveling north on the west coast of New Caledonia, once you reach Baie Chasseloup it is possible to stay inside the barrier reef for the rest of the way up the coast.  If you are traveling south on the coast, from here on for the next 80nm , you must travel outside the barrier reef to get between anchorages.

Heading south, exit through Passe Du Duroc and travel about 9 nm south along the reef and re enter through Passe de Kone. Once inside the reef, there is a well marked track which will take you to Ille Koniene. This is really only useful as an overnight stopping point.

Heading north, the next significant stopping point is [[Koumac]], about 32 nm away.  This can be undertaken inside the barrier reef.  While there is a significant amount of reef dodging to be done, all dangers are charted and marked, provided you stick a relatively direct route.  It is easy to see from chart sounding densities that specific tracks have been well examined, but it can be assumed that you venture outside those tracks at your own risk.

Baie Chasseloup and Voh

Baie Chasseloup is a sheltered anchorage in the NW of New Caledonia. The anchorage is about 6 km from the town of Voh, which makes access to facilities difficult unless you have transport. There is a pleasant beach front inshore from the anchorage and a road leading to Voh, but no regular transport and no facilities of any sort nearby.

If you are traveling north on the west coast of New Caledonia, once you reach Baie Chasseloup it is possible to stay inside the barrier reef for the rest of the way up the coast. If you are traveling south on the coast, from here on for the next 80nm , you must travel outside the barrier reef to get between anchorages.

Heading south, exit through Passe Du Duroc and travel about 9 nm south along the reef and re enter through Passe de Kone. Once inside the reef, there is a well marked track which will take you to Ille Koniene. This is really only useful as an overnight stopping point.

Heading north, the next significant stopping point is Koumac, about 32 nm away. This can be undertaken inside the barrier reef. While there is a significant amount of reef dodging to be done, all dangers are charted and marked, provided you stick a relatively direct route. It is easy to see from chart sounding densities that specific tracks have been well examined, but it can be assumed that you venture outside those tracks at your own risk.
