The Waterfront Bar and Grill is the focus of cruising yacht activities in Port Vila, and one of Port Vila's most popular places to dine, dance and enjoy live entertainment.
Don and Donna, who operate the Waterfront, arrived in Port Vila on their own yacht. They understand the problems and joys of cruising and do their best to help visiting yachts experience the joys. For example, you will tie your dingy up on the Waterfront/Yachting World dingy wharf and it will be happy and safe while you are out shopping or wandering around Port Vila. They also provide showers and toilets for visiting yachts. When I asked how much this costs, Donna said that they trusted the people to make a donation to the staff (who clean the facilities). The suggested donation is 100 vatu per day per person but you can give more if you appreciate this service.
You can also leave your garbage in their garbage containers at no charge. They appreciate it when you manage to get it INTO the containers rather than next to the containers. They also appreciate it, as does everyone else who lives around and swims in the harbor, if you get your galley scraps, empty cans, and other garbage into garbage bins ashore and not into the water.
 Providing amenities such as access, garbage, toilets and showers is a wonderful gift to the yachting community of Port Vila but Don and Donna's hospitality goes way beyond that.
They organize superior BBQ's, ladies luncheons, and specials at ridiculously low prices for cruising yachts. And they give yachties discounts on drinks, organize yachting activities, put on magic shows, post yachting and weather news, and see to it that the lunches and dinners and parties are great fun for young and old. Be sure to check on a day by day basis for specials and activities.
The 7 Seas Yacht Club is located at the Waterfront and all visiting yachts are welcome to lounge around the tables and share sea stories. It's good fun.
Don is a professional magician and often invites world class magicians to visit Vanuatu and perform. The shows are really spectacular and not to be missed.
 Don also operates a charter sport fishing vessel so there is a constant supply of very fresh fish for the restaurant. Meals are excellent, with a Mexican accent, there is live entertainment every evening with dancing till late. The atmosphere just can't be beat anywhere, and all this just a pace away from the Yachting World sea wall marina or from the dinghy wharf.
Don and Donna are truly welcoming and charming hosts for people, like themselves, who seek adventure and pleasure from the cruising life.
