Berthing
A staff member in a tender will frequently be available to assist you to pick up a mooring. The Yachting World moorings are large yellow floating can shaped buoys with a single heavy nylon rope with a spliced loop to take aboard.
Arrange with the Yachting World office before coming in to take a seawall berth. The staff there will assist you to collect the lines and tie up dock lines.

Personal experience
- Delatbabel -- visited this marina in September 2014. The area is very sheltered and there is almost no wind. There is very little noise coming from the shore line, unlike in other places in the South Pacific. Services are quite good for the price and the staff are friendly
