| More notes about the Marina | |
|
Marina Apooiti is the nearest publically accessible marina to Uturoa, Raiatea, French Polynesia. It is about 5km by road west of the town, past the airport.
Marina radio contact
VHF channel 10 appears to be sporadically monitored if at all.
Generally one would approach this marina while travelling west past Uturoa. Continue past the airport, note that there is a large reef extending into the channel near the airport, there is a channel marked with north and south cardinal marks. After rounding the south cardinal mark make a line for Baie Apooiti, rounding the channel separation mark standing just outside the bay.
If you have contacted ahead indicating that you are approaching there will be someone to catch lines. The visitors' berths are just past the marina entrance proper, they are not floating berths (although there is minimal tide range here) and it could be port or starboard side tie up depending on where on the visitors berth areas you are directed to.
Larger vessels including catamarans may be directed to med-moor along the outside wall of the marina. There are bow lines to pick up and stern lines need to be taken ashore.
Berthing
Berthing assistance is usually available -- the marina manager or other cruisers on the visitors dock will usually be around to catch ropes. Although the marina is lit, the leading marks are not (in particular the channel separation marker standing just off the bay) and depths are variable within the bay so berthing at night would be inadvisable.
Marina facilities
- Laundry (single washing machine only, cfp800 per load)
- Cold water showers
- Toilets
Repairs/Yard
There is a nearby repair yard (Chantier Naval des Îles Sous la Vent) that has a good reputation for doing solid reliable work.
Security
The sliding gate to the visitors' berth area is closed at night (but not locked). The marina manager occasionally patrols the area, walking two very large dogs.
Marina Location
The marina is located approximately 5km by road from Uturoa. Just outside the marina there is a small shop (Magasin Julien) and about 15 minutes further down the road towards Uturoa there is a small supermarket. Both are open 7 days although opening hours are variable especially for the shop.
Transport
There are taxis available into Uturoa but the prices are quite steep. Hitchhiking appears to be the preferred method of shortening the walk.
Price
Pricing is approximately cfp 220 per metre per day for monohulls, and higher for multihulls.

Personal experience
- Delatbabel -- visited in May 2014. I found the marina manager to be helpful and happy to assist. Marina prices were a little higher than elsewhere in French Polynesia but it was useful to be able to berth alongside rather than med-moor. Water was clean and potable.
