The BoatYard is the newest addition to Vava’u’s and Tonga’s growing array of marine orientated industries. Ideally located in an old quarry, The BoatYard sits 20ft above mean sea level and is protected on three sides by steep hills and the old quarry face. Access to the water is gained via a gently sloping slipway.
Joe and Al from the Vava’u Shipwrights are ex-cruisers and opened this eco/cruiser-friendly haul out and storage boatyard in October 2015. Using a custom built hydraulic trailer they can lift mono and multi hull boats with a max length of 60ft, tonnage of 30 metric tons and draft of 8ft.
The yard is close to the main harbour. Custom cyclone cradles and tie downs.
Living on board and working on your own boat is permitted for a fee of TOP $115 per person per month which includes hot showers, toilets, garbage disposal, electricity and water (heavy use electricity will be assessed separately). There are also a range of repair services available.
Their website has useful local information about Tonga and Vava’u.
