Vuda Marina Fiji

Fiji is an affordable country full of culture, traditions and amazing scenery. The Fijian people are known as the friendliest people in the world for very good reason. Their welcoming nature and beautiful smile is infectious and you will soon realise that the 18 months your vessel is allowed to stay in the country is simply not long enough. Fiji is very safe, everyone speaks English and due to its geographic location in the Pacific, is very easy to get to by air which makes a quick trip home to visit loved ones, relatively easy to do while you keep your yacht in a safe harbour such as Vuda Marina.

Vuda Marina is conveniently located at Vuda Point, which is situated on the western end of Viti Levu between Nadi International Airport and Lautoka city. The marina is a great place to be based year round. Its crossroads location and close proximity to key areas on the mainland and offshore islands is unique in Fiji. The marina also offers a unique convenience for those wishing to explore the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands (Fijis premiere resort locations and beautiful chain of islands ) situated just off-shore and within eye view.

With World-class repair contractors, Vuda Marina is an affordable destination for all repairs from simple reupholstering jobs to extensive all-over refurbishments. Our ever popular ‘Cyclone Pits’ are the perfect option for those wishing to leave their vessel for an extended period in the Tropics instead of making the arduous journey South to New Zealand or West to Australia.
