Here’s a list of Frequently Asked Questions. Please note that this page may change, so check back. If you’ve got a question you’d like to see answered on this page, email us at: RC@nawiliwiliyachtclub.org
1. What about slips?
Mooring will be taken care of for you at both Kaneohe and Nawiliwili. You can stay for two days free of charge; the primary sponsors will be picking up the tab. Please note that this is on a space available basis. It shouldn’t be a problem though, at either location. If you do have to be on the hook in Nawiliwili, the anchorage is very well protected.
2. Where can I get fuel?
Unfortunately, there are no dockside fueling facilities in the small boat harbor. You can arrange for diesel fuel by calling I&L Rentals at 246-3900 and talk to the manager. On 4/17/2017, diesel was offered at $8/gallon with a $75 delivery charge. Delivery charge is dropped if you buy 100 gallons. I&L would like 2 days lead time to guarantee delivery. Fueling is done at the loading dock next to the launch ramp.
