Utuma’atu is a community sailing cargo boat for the Tongan islands. We transport cargo and passengers, train youth and connect outer islands using clean, economic wind and solar power.
We take people and goods where they need to be.



After hurricane damage, Utuma’atu has been repaired. Now we need your help to outfit the vaka masiva and get her back to sea.
We’re on track to sail this year.




The Utuma’atu is a non-profit vessel managed by the Talanoa and Development Project and operated in Tonga by the Ongo Niua Community Company. All contributions help the vaka sail and serve our Tongan island communities.
