How an expedition runs

01

Load up in Port Vila

We meet you at the harbour, stow the gear and provision the boat. Tackle is already rigged — you bring clothes, sunscreen and a camera.

02

Steam out to the islands

The run out puts you straight into fishable water. Lines go in as soon as we clear the harbour, so the first day is a fishing day.

03

Fish first light to dark

Popping and casting the reef edges, jigging the drop-offs, trolling between spots. The crew move you around the island group as the conditions dictate.

04

Anchor up for the night

Evenings are spent at anchor in sheltered water. All meals and drinks are provided on board — you rest up and go again at first light.

05

Home with the stories

We run back into Port Vila at the end of the trip and can arrange your accommodation and transfers either side.
