The Royal Papua Yacht Club has its own marina with 24-hour security, but most spaces are occupied by members' boats so berths are in short supply. However, visitors are welcome and every attempt is made to accommodate them or to allow the visitor to use the large work berth. Alternatively, one may anchor or moor Mediterranean-style within the marina groins. Temporary membership is granted to members of other yacht clubs. Most repair facilities are concentrated around the yacht club, whose new marina and clubhouse facility is close to the north of the previous site, the entrance at approximately 09°28'S 147°09'E.
