The marina now has a trailer-based haul-out facility (EON multipurpose trailer) suitable for mono and multihulls and plenty of hard standing space. Wick is a good local contact for repair work and parts/spares.

Wick also has another marina along the northern shoreline of Sorong to increase capacity and offer a comfortable and safe harbor for visiting yachts. This is particularly attractive to liveaboards and facilities are slowly developing.

Wick also runs EON Engineering which offers boat repair and maintenance services as well as a number of yacht agency services.

    We arrived in Sorong on Soko, our Moody 46, in June 2019, but with some trepidation having read the reports of boat theft, difficult CIQ etc.. After anchoring off Doom, we completed CIQ under the new regulations in a few hours, and were highly impressed by the efficiency, professionalism and friendliness of all departments. No question of any restrictions or kickbacks. One of the easiest to date. We are now street legal for 3 years of cruising this fascinating archipelago.

    We then headed 40 minutes upstream, following Captain Dahlan, to Helena Marina. Owner Wick Allison met us and immediately took care of our every need. This included haul out, antifouling, changing cutlass bearing, canvas and teak repairs. Most importantly one of his staff is an expert on ships systems and electronics. We upgraded from Raytheon Seatalk to STNG, replaced all the batteries to Lead Carbon, fitted Solar Panels, sorted the spaghetti of long redundant wiring etc.etc..

    We then spent several weeks exploring the wonders of Raja Ampat.

    I cannot speak more highly of the cruising paradise, the people we have met and Helena Marina in particular.
