Noumea - Provisions & Laundry

Select your download option below


The Noumea Market with its local produce offers a good selection of seafood and vegetables. It is held daily at the Baie de la Moselle. It opens from 5am-11am and is closed the 3rd Monday of the month.

There are also supermarkets and patisseries within walking distance of Port Moselle and a shopping centre next to the yacht club. Most supermarkets are well stocked. It is important to note that the sale of alcohol is prohibited from noon Saturday until 8 am Monday morning.

Provisioning in the islands is limited and it is recommended that you do most of your purchasing in Noumea.

There are several laundry options in Noumea. The marinas (Port Du Sud and Port Brunelet) in Baie De L’Ophelinat have coin laundries. Port Moselle Marina fuel dock will wash and dry laundry for you.

The Youth Hostel located at the top of the hill, 100 meters from the prominent “505” building, has a large commercial washer available for a very reasonable price.

    I am very surprised by what Chris Claydon has to say. When I was there in November 2014 the marina staff were totally helpful, made ‘phone calls and printed documents. They also translated technical requests into French for contractors to understand.

    The Wifi is slow but it is free. Faster commercial services are readily available. Nobody measured my boat; the 12-noon rule is universal. The outside anchorages are crowded but the marina staff cannot see them and so do not know how easy it is to anchor.

    As a major military, shipping and cruise liner port nobody should be surprised that the harbor channels need to be kept clear of anchored yachts. The marina staff have little control over boats leaving.

    If a cruiser leaves late then your berth will not be available. It is a busy marina. It is busy because it is good with first-class facilities!

    We have had a very bad experience at Port Moselle and felt very unwelcome, we recommend that other yachts should anchor instead of using the marina if possible. We arrived at 9 am and were told a berth would be ready for us within a few minutes.

    So we circled around for half an hour and then they told us to anchor somewhere and come back in the afternoon! They directed us to n anchorage which was so crowded with boats it was impossible to anchor within the boundary so we anchored very close to the edge and well clear of the channel.

    They then kept hassling us to move again although we anchored where we were told and were not in anyone’s way. On departure from the marina three days later, we were told we had to pay for four days, not three because we were departed after mid-day.

    Even though we had not even been there for three full days yet due to the delay coming in! The berthing fees are very expensive to start with even before you get overcharged. The wifi is extremely slow, unreliable and we had to keep getting a new password each day.

    If we were not around to get a new password during office hours we could not get internet until the next day! It is generally not worth the expense and hassle of being in the marina at Moselle and dealing with the bad attitude of the staff there.

    Everything was too much trouble – NO to printing a document, NO to making a phone call (even if we pay) etc. etc. To add insult to injury we were charged for an extra foot of length over what our boat actually measures.

    Which cost more than $10 extra a day! The customs, immigration, and biosecurity staff were all great, it’s a shame the marina staff do not welcome visitors.
