Amanu Speedboat Run to Hao

17° 50.9′ S · 140° 51.2′ W · approximate

With almost nothing for sale on Amanu, a hired local speedboat to Hao, 16 nm away, is the fallback for fuel or supplies.

Practical

Jacaranda (Jan 2019) reports a speedboat could be hired for about 15,000 XPF for the round trip to Hao, shared among cruisers. That is a 2019 price, so verify locally. Ask at the mairie or harbour. Position approximate: placed in Ikitake village between Passe Fafameru and the Point Koutu Korigo anchorage, derived from the compendium's descriptions; the exact building was not located on a map. Amanu has no airport (2019 commune profile), so Hao, about 20 km away, is the nearest flight.
