Magasin Julien (Apooiti marina gate)

16° 43.7′ S · 151° 28.5′ W

The small grocery just outside the gate of Marina Apooiti. Charter crews at The Moorings, Sunsail and Tahiti Yacht Charter use it for bread, drinks, ice and forgotten items.

Practical

The 2025 Raiatea sailors' brief lists a 'grocery shop outside the marina', and OpenStreetMap names the building by the road at the marina entrance Magasin Julien. Stock is convenience-store level. For a full provisioning run, walk about 850 m east to Raiatea Market, or go into Uturoa (Champion, U Express, market), about 4 km east. Dinghy in at the Apooiti visitor's dock (marina VHF 12; book through the marina office, 40 66 12 20). Opening hours aren't published; verify locally. Position is the OSM building outline.

Best for

Ice, bread and top-ups at the charter base
