Fishing and Cruises in Vanuatu
A Practical Guide to Vanuatu Fishing and
Cruises
In Vanuatu, the water is an integral
part of life. Fishing is more than mere sport for the majority of islanders, it is a means of putting food on the
table. Thankfully, the pristine waters around this archipelago are rich in a wide diversity of fish and sea life.
In addition, you'll find that cruises offer you a great way to get to know the area, by exploring the waters,
lagoons, inlets and caves. Vanuatu fishing and cruises are also big tourist draws to the area and the locals are
more than happy to supply their expertise for both endeavors.
Vanuatu Fishing
You'll find a wide variety of fishing boats available for charter.
Blue marlin is the fish for which the area is famed; however, you'll find many other species, as well. Black marlin
can be caught year round, as can striped marlin, mahi mahi, yellow fin tuna and wahoo. You'll find that you can
charter half-day, single-day, multi-day and even overnight trips with many of the local companies and Vanuatu fishing charter operators. Several
operations are owned by expatriates from Australia, New Zealand and even the US. Local fishing guides are
available, as well.

explore lagoons and hidden coves. You'll also find tidal caves ripe for exploring, many rich with cave paintings
from early islanders.
