Savusavu, as an international port of entry into Fiji, attracts over 200 overseas yachts each year. It is the first port of arrival for yachts sailing from Samoa and Tonga. During the cruising season between May and October, Savusavu’s harbor is bustling with yachts coming and going. The yachting community brings international diversity and vibrancy to our small town. Many yachts use Savusavu as a base for cruising the less explored North and often stay for the cyclone season in Savusavu’s protected Nakama Creek.
Savusavu town provides most things the cruising yachts need, from banking, groceries and general hardware to a marine chandlery, fuel, water, restaurants and access to communications and transportation.

On arrival either the Copra Shed or Wai Tui Marina will arrange friendly, on board check-in with government officals. Both the Copra Shed Marina and Wai Tui Marina welcome overseas yachts and provide moorings, showers, laundry service, fax and telephone, email access and a gathering place for the yachtsmen. Plans for yet another facility, Savusavu Marina Village, are underway.
The Savusavu Yacht Club maintains a very active sailing program in Optimist dinghies and our kids have won more Fiji National Championships than any other yacht club in Fiji. The Savusavu Yacht Club hosts various sailing regattas throughout the year including Optimist dinghy sailing events for the kids, cruising rallies and the 2003 Fiji President’s Cup.

The local yachting and boating scene also offers overnight yacht charters, day sailing trips and kayak expeditions in and around Savusavu Bay. When the winds are blowing, the bay provides a brisk sail in sheltered waters, for those wanting to try sailing, perhaps for the first time and on a stable platform.
Or, you can use Savusavu as a cruising base and hire one of the local charter yachts to explore the less visited and more remote Northern islands...and see the way all of Fiji used to be. There are several options available from "your own private" and captained yacht to joining a four day to week long adventure cruise.

Sport fishing boats, both privately owned and for hire, ply the bay waters and the Koro Sea to catch marlin, Wahoo, tuna and other game fish. Local sport fishing clubs sponsor local & international tournaments drawing keen anglers to our waters. Or, if you enjoy the relaxation of just "fun" fishing, drifting off the in-shore reefs with a hand line, that can be arranged too.
