Slips at the Waianae Boat Harbor

The Waianae Boat Harbor has been refurbished with rebuilt slips recently. At this time, slip availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis for vessels 35′ and under.  All requirements per Hawaii Revised Statues and Hawaii Administrative Rules are in full effect.  DOBOR is not waiving the vessel inspection requirement for temporary mooring permittees. Please contact them to lock in a slip for your use during the tournament.

This will make your morning on the day of the tournament go way smoother then dealing with the long launch line. We believe there are some 25+ slips available at this time.

If you’re interested, please call the State of Hawaii, Dept. of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation at 697-7085 or email [email protected] . The Waianae Harbor has a new Harbor Master who is normally in the office Monday – Friday.

Note: Insurance requirements for the State of Hawaii Harbors is $500,000.00 Liability minimum.
