Your Essential Guide to the Shores and Marinas of Fiji
Thanks to copious hours of sunshine beating down over Nadi, Port Denarau Marina is now having all of its daily power requirements met by the Sun!
The 122kW photovoltaic (PV) system has a generating capacity of 190,000 kWh per year providing Port Denarau with the largest solar powered marina system anywhere in the world; a great step for Fiji as its largest on-grid commercial solar power generator.More info here…

You can pick up a copy of ‘Fiji’s Clean Boating Programme’ from any marina in Fiji. The programme is part of an international environmental initiative through which many marine related businesses and recreational boaters aim to improve their environmental performance. The Clean Boating component provides educational materials to help us all play our part.
As boat owners, we all want to enjoy healthy, safe and pristine waters.

Pacific Harbour lies along the south coast of Viti Levu, opposite Beqa Island. At the mouth of the Qaranaqio River, you will find The Pearl South Pacific Resort and Spa.
The Pearl Resort has a stellar reputation and is a popular destination with tourists, yachties and locals alike. The hotel was acquired in 2012 by the Mineral Resources Development Company (MRDC) of Papua New Guinea. MRDC has launched impressive plans that will see Pacific Harbour as the new modern marina and resort lifestyle destination.

Last October I got a call from the Chief of Totoya Island (Roko Sau) letting me know that a whale had gotten stuck inside a lagoon near his island.
I’d never been to the Lau Islands before yet had always heard lovely things about the clear waters and teeming marine life of this remote island group. Roko Sau (who also works for the Pacific Blue Foundation) was enthusiastic and managed to charm us a ride on a Super yacht thanks also to the support of Yacht Help Fiji.More info here…
