| 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.
