Are There Any Yacht Anchorages In Hawaii?

In this guide, the author discusses the best anchorages in Hawaii, including Nawilliwilli Harbor and Hanalei Bay, which offer good protection against wind and swell, good seabed and holding, and a nice beach. The guide covers how to choose the right boat, where to dock or anchor, boat maintenance, and costs.

The most popular breakfast in Hawaii is the American-influenced loco moco, a meat patty. Makena Bay, located in front of a large public beach, Poolenalena Beach Park, is a popular anchorage in Hawaii. Anchoring is in sand bottom, 25-40 feet, good only in light trade wind conditions or calm weather.

Officially, anchoring is allowed for 48 hours in any one spot, but some people get around this prohibition. Discover the best anchorages and marinas in Hawaii through the reviews and photos of the Navily community. The two largest and calmest anchorages in the islands are Kanaohe, on the northeast side of Oahu, and Hanalei Bay on Kauai.

On Maui, long-term anchorages or moorings are virtually non-existent, with no marinas and only two small-boat harbors. Bella Marina in Pokai Bay, Oahu, is one of the best anchorages in the Hawaiian Islands.

In Honolulu, there are two private yacht clubs: the Waikiki Yacht Club and the Hawaii Yacht Club, both offering permanent slips for various yachts. Hawaii has one of the greatest seafaring histories in the world, but it can be challenging for locals to cruise the islands.

  • Ха, я думал, что будет трудно / сложно смотреть на английском, но нет, идеально воспринимается. Я сразу переживал, что Вы можете перейти полностью на англоязычную аудиторию (с переходом на английский язык, соответственно), но оказалось, что даже с моим уровнем – все прекрасно воспринимается. Спасибо за Ваше творчество!

  • Теперь у меня вопрос, на каком языке смотреть…. )) С учетом того, что русский язык воспринимается как “черное наречие”, а россия – как Мордор (прошу прощения за политику), Сильная мотивация смотреть видео на английском. Извините меня за использование русского языка (самому стыдно). Уверен, в Беларуси так же найдется самоуважение с переходом на национальный язык. Дзякуй Вам, за цiкаейшае вiдэа, за Ваш пазiтыуны настрой і яскравы агляд.
