VAVA'U BOATYARD 🇹🇴 TONGA
Tonga’s Borders are open to the South Pacific Posse again!
18° 38.625' S 173° 59.7483' W
The island groups of Tonga are are some of the most beautiful in the world. But the lack of secure hurricane/cyclone storage has always meant there was that deadline, when cruisers have to leave this paradise far too soon and seek shelter in Fiji or New Zealand. The BoatYard is a brand new yacht haulage and hard stand facility in Vava’u, the first in Tonga, and has turned Tonga into a safe year-round cruising destination!
We can offer your members a 10% discount on cyclone season storage and long time hardstand storage.
Cheers,
JOE
