Port Denarau Marina, Fiji

We recently spent 6 weeks in the Denarau Marina on our journey from France to Australia on our Catana 47, catamaran " Angels Wings".

I would like to commend your Marina as the best and most enjoyable Marina that we have stayed at since we left France in 2012. We enjoyed the complex of different restaurants and shops and spent many happy hours at the Rhumba.

I would like to commend the staff at the Marina office but in particular Ali ( Elias) was outstanding in his service to us and his ability to make the best of a sometimes very chaotic situation, so that everybody was happy. We had only booked for two weeks but ended up staying for 6 as we had work done by Baobab Marine which took several weeks as we had to import parts from New Zealand.

Ali helped us immensely in ensuring that we were able to be on the jetty when we needed to and be on a mooring in between times. We were immensely grateful for his ability to shuffle things around to help us.

Once again, thank you for a very enjoyable stay and when we come back to Fiji, we will come direct to Denarau as it is definitely our favourite port.

All the best to you and your staff and may you enjoy continued favour with the cruising community.

We very much enjoyed our time in Fiji and find Port Denarau a favorite place to be with its facilities, shops and restaurants and most of all capable and friendly staff.

We especially appreciated your thorough cyclone preparation which allowed us to extend s/v RED's insurance coverage in the tropics by a meaningful amount.  I've attached the plan that our underwriter required for that extension and as you will see it relies at the core on Port Denarau's underlying plan.

Best regards for the New Year and may the cyclones "pass harmlessly out to sea".

We wanted to make our feelings known regarding our recent visits as a yachting guest at Denarau Marina.

Without a doubt it was a fabulous experience and the staff simply exceeded all of our expectations. Nothing seemed too much to ask, never was there a hesitation to jump to any request, everything was done efficiently, courteously and happily. Special comments are due to Vive who is a joy to deal with and makes the entire Denarau experience a first class affair. Vive makes things happen and should be commended for her never ending professionalism. The balance of the office staff, who's names escape us, are also due a congratulations for exceeding our expectations as well.

You should be proud of these staff and should reward them accordingly. While we are not a small yacht, we are not a super yacht, but we feel like we were treated as though we were a super yacht and valued guests at all times.

We will return to Denarau and will not hesitate to share our thoughts with anyone!

Many thanks to all the staff Denarau Marina.

I am writing to extend our thanks to you and your team at the marina. We have visited many places and many islands over the past 15 years of sailing and chartering yachts, and staying in Fiji and your marina has to be up at the top of the most memorable. I confess we were a little frustrated in trying to get a berth for the catamaran “Laguz” but after staying with you I can now fully appreciate just how busy you all are. In particular, Ali could not have been more helpful and informative, his knowledge and attitude made our visits even more special. We also have to mention Mere who seems to carry a heavy load of trying to fit us in within her busy schedule, a job which I can only begin to imagine is a logistical nightmare every day, however she carries it with a smile and could not be more helpful too. Overall your marina needs to be double the size to accommodate everyone that would like to use your facilities, but what makes any place standout above the rest is really great staff and to which you must be blessed to have found yours. We hope to return next season but in the mean time we hope you have a safe cyclone season.
