Champion Uturoa

16° 43.8′ S · 151° 26.6′ W

The big supermarket on Uturoa's waterfront, a short walk from the town quay. Most bareboat crews do their main shop here.

Practical

Hours per the 2024 Dream Yacht base guide: Monday to Saturday 6am–7pm, Sunday 6:30am–1pm; hours change on public holidays, so verify locally. SodaStream exchanges here use the thin Australian/NZ thread, while Super U stores swap the thick European type (cruiser notes, 2020–2022). Dinghy in to the downtown marina or the quay. Banks with ATMs, the post office (OPT) and pharmacies are within a few blocks. Smaller alternative: LS Proxi near the airport roundabout, convenient from Apooiti and the yards and noted by cruisers for decent wine.
