Vaitape Hardware, Fishing & Boat-Parts Shops

16° 30.0′ S · 151° 45.1′ W

Bora Bora's small hardware, fishing and marine-parts outlets around the Nunue shopping center opposite Super U. Good for fishing tackle, fittings and basic spares, but not a real chandlery.

Practical

Coordinate from the OSM shop node 'parts de bateau - pêche' (boat parts and fishing, mapped 2018) opposite Super U. Floating Lab: the dive shop across from Super U has a number of marine items. bora-bora-insider's Vaitape guide lists hardware and electronics outlets along the main road; names are not published. Marine Services Bora Bora (Noonsite business listing), next to the Amok supermarket between Vaitape and the Yacht Club, +689 40 60 38 38, marine-services@mail.pf, handles electrics, engine repair and equipment. For anything substantial (chandlery, haul-out, rigging), Noonsite and Floating Lab point to Raiatea, a day sail away. Tiare Market at Matira has a good fishing section (separate entry).

Best for

Fishing gear and small spares; go to Raiatea for chandlery
