Cyclone alerts

Each cyclone season, a tropical system passes within 75 km of the New Caledonian coast (Météo-France New Caledonia). Port du Sud allows stays of up to one month except in a cyclone alert.

Night approach

New Caledonia Tourism says to take care when approaching the bay at night, because many boats anchor there without anchor lights. Port Moselle does not allow night entry.

Ashore

Restaurants, shopping malls and diving are near the harbours. Noumea has suppliers for boat repair, deck fittings and spare parts, and transit boats pay no tax on spare parts for repairs. (New Caledonia Tourism.)
