Every charter includes

What you get

Whole-boat hire

Every price is for the whole boat, so it's your group on board — up to six anglers, no strangers.

All tackle provided

Popping, jigging and trolling outfits, all maintained and matched to what's biting. Bring your own if you'd rather.

Captain & deckhands

A professionally trained crew with the local knowledge to put you on fish, whatever the conditions.

Light lunch & drinks

Lunch, bottled water and soft drinks are provided on board. Alcohol isn't.

Fresh fillets

All fish caught belongs to Dropcast Fishing — but we'll happily cut fresh fillets for your dinner.

Port Vila departure

Both vessels leave from Port Vila on Efate. We confirm the berth and meeting time when you book.

The Fleet

Three boats, every mission

Purpose-set for sportfishing — quick day runs to multi-day expeditions in comfort.
