Over the past twenty years a lack of maintenance on pontoons in the popular Ala Wai Small Boat Harbour in Waikiki has resulted in 100 berths becoming unusable in recent months, with another 200 berths set to close soon. There will as a result be no berths available for visitors. Sources blame a consistent lack of investment over the years for the government-owned harbour, with the low fees compared to private marinas failing to provide the capital needed.
