Nawiliwili - Docking
This the most secure harbor on the island and is safe in almost all conditions except the most severe hurricanes.
Once through the harbor entrance, turn to port and the small boat harbor is ahead of you. Tie to the loading dock, east of the slipway, while checking with the harbor office for a vacant berth.
It is also possible to anchor on the inside of the small boat harbor breakwater, in about 3 to 8m. The bottom is good holding in mud.
Anchoring is not permitted in any other part of the harbor.
There are five shallow draft moorings for catamarans.
