Vanuatu is world-renowned for being a premium sport fishing and game fishing destination in the South Pacific.
ANGLER’S HEAVEN
Game fishing in Vanuatu is favoured all year round. There is simply great fishing for everyone.
The deep waters surrounding Efate and the Vanuatu Islands are an ideal fishing ground for anglers who strive to meet the challenge of catching the big one. Abyssal depths can be reached only a few miles away from the shore of nearly all islands and the variety and number of fish is amazing.
After a 10 minute cruise from Havannah Harbour (a 50 minute car drive from Bauerfield International Airport, Port Vila), you’re in a world-class fishing zone where Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna and the usual pelagics abound. This, combined with the lee coastline, provides relatively calm seas, which makes Vanuatu the ultimate destination for game fishing. We’re happy to organise a transfer for you from Port Vila to Havannah Harbour.
On board you will have the opportunity to catch:
Pacific Blue Marlin: All year round, peak season April to January
Black Marlin: April to October
Striped Marlin: August to November
Sailfish: All year round, peak season May to December
Yellowfin Tuna: All year round depending on currents
Mahi Mahi: May to December
Wahoo: May to December
Dogtooth Tuna: All year round
Skipjack Tuna: All year round
Inshore Species: All year round
JUST A STONE’S THROW
We’re not as far away as you might think.
Although the whole idea of a “remote island paradise” tends to evoke images of long journeys and multiple stops, if you’re in Australia or New Zealand, it doesn’t take much longer to get here than it would to mow the lawns and clean up the yard. And we know what we’d rather be doing.
Vanuatu's well-situated in the south-west Pacific between Fiji and New Caledonia (each a 90 minute flight from Port Vila), with Australia and New Zealand both only 3 hours away. Because of the proximity, getting to Vanuatu is easy with direct flights from Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Noumea, Honiara, and Nadi by various international airlines.
