Anchorages in Mamanuca & Yasawa Islands
Port Denarau (charter hub), Musket Cove (cruiser base and regatta), Monuriki (Cast Away Island), the Blue Lagoon at Nanuya Lailai, and the spectacular Sawa-i-Lau limestone caves — 80km of remote Yasawa Islands stretching north.
Sevusevu mandatory — coral reef navigation essential
Sevusevu (kava root gift to the village chief) is mandatory before anchoring near any Fijian village. No anchoring on coral — Fiji Fisheries Act offence. Fuel and water are scarce north of Musket Cove — carry 2× reserves before heading into the Yasawa Islands. May to October only — cyclone season November to April.

Set Your Anchor Alarm in Fiji's Coral Waters
Coral bommies are widespread throughout the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands — anchor drag toward coral causes serious damage to your vessel and the reef. Safety Anchor Alarm monitors your GPS continuously so you can enjoy Fiji with confidence.
