Provisioning for Charters in Tonga
Your order will need to be at the base at least 14 days before your charter.
The base will organise the delivery of your provisions, and have them
aboard your yacht, the day of your arrival. For emergency items, there
is a supermarket 5mins drive from the Moorings office.
Special dietary requirements - the base personnel are happy to comply
with any specials requests but please ensure that these are forwarded
to us no later then 14 days prior to the start date.

Self - Provisioning
Stores are located directly at the Moorings base. Open during base hours 8.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 1.00pm Saturdays. Full provisioning available. However base needs 24 hours notice for requests for fresh fruit & veggies.
Other shops (limited availability)
Two small shops near base, the nearest a 10 minute taxi ride away. Both with limited selection. For added colour, one can visit the local market held Monday - Friday. Locals bring a limited selection of homegrown produce to sell and it's recommended one get there early to buy the best produce. A Flea Market is held on Saturday morning.
NOTE
There are no stores open after 1200 noon on Saturday. The stores will not re-open until Monday morning.
No provisioning in Tongatapu due to the weight restrictions the airlines enforces (20KG). |
