Denarau haven for yachts

This season looks encouraging for Port Denarau Marina in terms of the number of superyachts and other yachts berthing in.

Port Denarau Marina Limited managing director Nigel Skeggs said they hope to see the largest number of visiting yachts this year.

Mr Skeggs said so far two superyachts had arrived in Denarau.

“This winter we are expecting around 25 yachts to visit our shores. I am sure that there will be others as the year progresses,” he said.

“As we are still in the cyclone season, we do not get too many visitors between November and May.”

He said Fiji was a perfect yachting destination with a huge variety of options in terms of the different areas and islands to visit.

“The sun shines and the water is warm. The people are friendly and the culture is rich and varied,” Mr Skeggs said.

“The South East trade winds start blowing as winter nears helping to push the yachts up from New Zealand to warmer climates as winter sets over there Fiji is normally the closest spot.

“Since the construction of our jetty, Port Denarau Marina has seen a dramatic increase in demand for our services through both the summer and the winter seasons.

“This is because of the proximity to provisioning in Nadi and Namaka. The close proximity to the airport and the wonderful atmosphere around the port with shopping, restaurants and bars and even live entertainments, help too.”

He said the port had become a very safe environment to berth and store yachts for short and medium stops.

“We have a lot of inquiries and the following events are organised to bring yachts to Fiji, Marsden Cove.

“(New Zealand) to Denarau Yacht Rally and also the Auckland to Musket Cove Yacht Race, which are both in May and the Cruising Association Rally from Tonga, which is in July,” he said.

Testimonials from our clients

Thank you from SV Magic Dragon of Dart

My husband and I wanted to write to you to express our thanks to you and your team for making our time in Fiji so wonderful. We are a British family of five sailing on a boat called Magic Dragon and from the moment we had first contact with your marina last year to our departure yesterday, we have been treated like kings and queens by your amazing team. We have stayed on and off for periods last October and again over the past two months and have had a really memorable time. Your staff are so cheerful, helpful and friendly it has been an absolute joy to deal with.


I would especially like to say thank you to:

Ali - who worked wonders to squeeze us in every time and was so patient and helpful with a smile for us all, all of the time;

Mere - who has been a fountain of knowledge and is so helpful and friendly;

John - who again has been so kind and friendly; and

Avi - who pulled out all of the stops to help some friends in need of an urgent haul out after hitting the reef.


You have a tremendous team at Denarau and we will really miss them all! Thank you for being such a good place to base ourselves whilst in Fiji.

Jake Reid, Captain, SY Thalia

Nigel and his friendly team at Denarau Marina made myself and the crew of Thalia very welcome. They went out of their way to provide additional services that you would not usually expect from a marina. I highly recommend Denarau marina to any super yachts visiting the Pacific, it was one of the best marinas we have stayed in on our world cruise.
