The Fishing

With its deep, fish-rich waters, Vanuatu offers some of the most consistent game fishing for blue marlin on the planet. In addition, the range of sports fishing species available makes it a truly world class fishing travel destination.

 

The Lure of the Big Blue

angler in the boat waiting to arrive in their fishing spotVanuatu’s shoreline drops off steeply due to its volcanic geography, providing incredibly deep waters close to shore – the perfect environment for calm water blue marlin game fishing! With numerous underwater canyons, seamounts, drop offs and FADs, the gamefishing action in Vanuatu is non-stop and exciting. However, there is more than just blue marlin on offer; black marlin, yellowfin tuna, dogtooth tuna and XOS sailfish are just some of the other game species that are regularly encountered throughout this archipelago.

 

“After a week at Trees and Fishes, I came face-to-face with a number of large-toothed monsters, as well as meeting my match against some deep-water unstoppables.”
Warren Keelan

 

Pelagic Paradise
