About This Experience
Head out on the water before sunrise and chase some of Vanuatu's most prized pelagic species around the Maskelyne Islands. This two-hour fishing charter runs from 5 am, targeting mahi-mahi, kingfish, yellowfin tuna, and skipjack tuna up to a mile and a half offshore. Prefer to stay closer to the reef? We carry handline gear for red snapper. Refreshments are on board, and transfers from nearby accommodations in the Maskelyne Islands or Malog Bungalows are available.
Highlights
- Fish for mahi-mahi, kingfish and tuna
