Mata Utu - Docking
Mata’Utu Anchorages
Officials recommend dealing with entry formalities at Mata’Utu quayside before finding an anchorage/mooring spot.
Gahi Bay is now the only authorized anchorage area. This is a popular anchorage, protected by a reef. Location is 13º 20.172S 176º 11.132W. Depth 8m.
If the weather allows, it’s easier to anchor just south of the quay.
Anchoring here can be very uncomfortable.
Note: There are some shallow coral areas (depth of three meters) on the north side of the big yellow mooring buoy off the wharf, but there is plenty of room for anchoring safely in 11 meters depth.
Dinghy Docks
There is a ramp and protected spot for leaving a dinghy on the SW side of the quay.
