Port Denarau Marina, Fiji

We recently stayed at Port Denarau Marina and were very impressed by both the facilities and all the staff. Everyone we met was both professional and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. There are however, two members of staff we would like to mention in particular: Vive the reservations manager clearly has the patience of a saint and coped with our changing plans, so typical of cruisers in a manner which suggested they were never a problem – they must have been! She was always polite, helpful and professional. Ali the docking manager is a real find not only does he clearly understand how boats work – ‘which way does your prop kick?’, knows how to make off a mooring line (so often we have found dock hands who don’t) but always remained calm and unflappable. His low key hand signals are immensely helpful when mooring and certainly helped us. We found him immensely helpful and friendly. We cleared out at the marina and this new service is great as it means we didn’t have to sort out a dinghy and muddy anchor as we had done previously at Lautoka. The fact there is no additional charge for doing so at the weekend was both a pleasant surprise and a bonus. Made the price difference between Denarau and Lautoka much less. Please pass on our thanks to all the staff and we wish you a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

My wife and I would like to let you know how much we appreciated Ali and Mere’s great work on assisting us to leave our boat in the marina while we returned home for the birth of our first grandbaby. Mere kept us informed on the status of any opening slips for our boat. As soon as one had opened up, she made it available to us and we immediately moved into the marina. Upon arriving at the marina, Ali was available to assist us into the slip and made sure that we had everything that we needed, where to get gate cards, electricity connection assistance and taking our lines which provided no “scary” moments handling everything by ourselves.  Ali passed by everyday and always said hello and asked if all was OK. We returned for a couple of weeks before taking off to Vanuatu and had the same experience.  How nice and reassuring. Ali and Mere made us feel at home and that our boat would be well looked after while we were gone. You have a great crew working at the marina and look forward to returning in 2020!

Port Denarau Marina has new, modern berths and a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Leanne Mitchell as reception/reservations is especially wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, and very helpful.

Please pass on our thanks to your boatyard staff for their good work launching, retrieving and moving our boats. I have been constantly amazed at Avi’s skills in particular with manouvering the boat hoists. Avi and the other staff have always been very courteous and obliging and are a credit to your company.

The entire crew and the Boss loved our time in Fiji. We would come back in a heart-beat.... so don't be surprised if we call again ! Everything was priced fairly and we had a great time. The islands are exceptional.
