 Entry to Port Vila's Inner Harbour
After you have finished the clearance formalities, contact Yachting World on VHF 16 and, if you wish, arrange for a berth at the sea wall marina or a swing mooring.
There are red and black entrance markers at the first reef shoal, the deepest place is close to the port marker and is 2.7 metres at spring low tide. There is a second shoal with a minimum depth of 2.4 metres.
Yachting World's sea wall marina is to port as you enter. Click for more information on the sea wall marina.
Just after the marina there is an overhead power wire. The clearance at the lowest place is 25 metres at low tide. Yachts with higher masts will be unable to proceed into the inner harbour where Yachting World has its swing moorings and fuel wharf.
The inner harbour is very deep - 30 to 40 metres - and the swing moorings are a very good option. Click for more information on the swing moorings.
The Waterfront Bar and Grill has a dinghy wharf and a multitude of services for visiting yachts. You'll see it to port just under the overhead wire. For more on the Waterfront Gar and Grill, click here.
