Marina· Faaite· French Polynesia: Tuamotus, Marquesas, Gambier & Australs
Faaite Small-Boat Harbour (Hitianau)
16° 42.2′ S · 145° 21.3′ W
A tiny village boat basin at Hitianau for local skiffs and the commune shuttle. It is not a yacht marina.
Practical
Coordinate is the marina node in OpenStreetMap at the south end of the village waterfront (a second marina node lies about 120 m north). The 2021 government sheet lists '1 Marina à rénover', so expect a shallow, run-down basin. Not for keelboats. It is a sheltered alternative dinghy landing when the quay is busy with a schooner; ask a fisherman where to tie up.
Best for
Sheltered dinghy landing
