"Thanks Chloe for doing a great job looking after us." Captain Patrick Walsh M.Y. Golden Shadow - 67m
Vessels over 60 meters in overall length require a pilot when first entering the coastal waters of New Caledonia. After clearing formalities are complete, pleasure yachts with an overall length between 60 and 80 meters may operate without a pilot in the Harbour and the New Caledonia coastal waters subject to certain restrictions.
If your yacht is over 60 meters Noumea Ocean can make the required arrangements for the Pilot boat to meet your yacht at the pilot pickup stations and provide assistance with meeting the requirements for navigating in New Caledonia coastal waters without a pilot after clearance.
If you wish us to assist with this please let us know.
