The marina is 2.5m deep at spring lows and is a bit small for an ocean going yacht.
The marina is open again after some dredging. The rock shown below has reportedly been removed giving 2.5 metres depth at low tide throughout.

The We Marina is on the east side of Lifou and the harbour is a man made breakwater with a large pier for the interisland ferry. The marina is shoreward of the ferry wharf.
The turn into the marina is sharp - stay to the north side of the channel - and the marina inside small.
Least draft in the entrance and in the marina slip is 2.5 m at low tide.
Yachts exceeding 45 feet must be very careful entering this marina and all vessels should call ahead on VHF to alert the staff so they can lend a hand with lines and give instructions on where to berth.
Yachts must clear in to Noumea before visiting Lifou. If a yacht (or yachts) wish to enter or depart from Lifou the yacht(s) must notify Immigration in Noumea at least a week in advance and pay for an immigration official to fly round trip to Lifou plus all expenses, including hotel and meals.
