Hours: 06:00 to 18:00

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.
