Water:

Water is available at Flying Fish Cove.

Fuel:

Diesel and unleaded petrol are available at the service station at Flying Fish Cove.

Repairs and Marine Supplies:

Getting work done: The island contractors are resourceful but not many are marine focused.  Repairs can be carried out but the nearest boat repair facility is at Cocos Keeling on Home Island (Cocos Keeling) and is for emergency work only.

Importing Parts/Spares: Many products are flown or shipped to the island and prices reflect this. It may be possible to source spare parts but there are not many marine focussed businesses.  There are regular flights from Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia so it may be possible to have goods shipped in on one of these commercial flights.  Check with Customs officials as they will be able to advise you on the process.

Provisions:

Many products are flown or shipped in to the island and prices reflect this. Avoid buying all but the necessities.  However, there is a good hardware store at Poon Saan if you do need anything.
