Vanuatu Cruising Guide

Many Ni-Vanuatuans (meaning ‘of Vanuatu’) live a traditional life, upholding customs that have been passed down through generations. It’s a very respectful culture, characterized by a constant cycle of rituals and customs, with extended families travelling many miles to join in the celebrations. Elders are held in high esteem, with a Chief appointed to oversee village life. Pigs, yams and kava are paramount to village economies and are intricately connected to rituals. With no written language, storytelling, dance and songs are used to communicate history. Walking is a way of life through these mountainous islands, with paths that link villages often penetrable only by a strong man wielding a jungle taming machete. Want to know more? Read on for our Vanuatu Cruising Guide!

Main cruising grounds

Yachting World Marina and Moorings have been welcoming sailors to Port Vila for 25 years. Anchoring is somewhat of a problem in the harbour, with the anchorage behind Iririki Island often crowded. The harbor itself is mostly either too deep or too shallow. The best option is to rent a mooring or a ‘stern to’ berth. It also means you’ll have access to their onshore facilities like fresh water, showers and a laundry.

Port Vila is the base for most charter operators, though some vessels also operate out of Port Havannah to the north. The main advantage of departing from Port Havannah is the close proximity of good cruising, diving and snorkeling sites around Hat, Lelepa and Moso Islands.

The islands of Vanuatu are grouped roughly into three groups, with the Torres and Banks Island groups in the north. Hayter Bay on Tegua Island is the best anchorage in this remote group. Upon approach, when villagers see your vessel, they will paddle out to your vessel, intent on trading food and handcrafts.

The Shepherd Islands in the middle form a chain and include the largest islands of Malakula and Espiritu Santo, with Efate (and the capital Port Vila) the southernmost island. Port Stanley on the east coast of Malakula has plenty of anchorages offering good protection from south easterlies. Also on Malakula, Lambumbubu Bay is a copra pick up point, but is otherwise pretty quiet. It’s one of the few anchorages where vessels can penetrate relatively deep into a bay.

In the southern group is the popular island of Tanna, known for its active Mount Yasur volcano, but probably lesser known for a traditional three day gift exchanging ceremony where up to 2000 villagers attempt to outdo each other with elaborate gifts. Port Resolution is one of the few anchorages on Tanna Island. The village owned Port Resolution Yacht Club is located on the East Point overlooking the bay and can help with provisioning.

Vanuatu’s superb cruising grounds attract many ‘lifestyle cruisers’, those enviable yachties who cruise long term. For visitors who arrive by air anticipating to ‘self skipper’, there are limited opportunities, with most charter operators offering fully crewed, scheduled tours.

•     Paradise Adventures – Horizon 40ft motor cruiser for liveaboard game fish charters as well as tall ship sailing and expedition cruises at various times throughout the year. •     Sailaway Cruises – 42ft sailing trimaran for day sails and liveaboard charters •     Meridian Charters for day and overnight charters •     Nautilus Watersports for a variety of boating and fishing options

When to visit

The wet season, from November through to April, is when you can expect heat, humidity and frequent rain. It’s also the cyclone season, with few safe harbours offering protection for mariners. According to South Pacific Organizer Vanuatu is the most hurricane prone country in the South Pacific, with 29 hurricanes striking Vanuatu between 1970 and 1985.

For mariners, (particularly sailors) the best time to visit is between May and October. Though the south east trades blow year round, they are generally stronger and more reliable during this time.

Top spots (snorkel and dive) During World War II the islands of Efate and Espiritu Santo were used as military bases for allied troops, with subsequent war wrecks now creating fascinating dive sites. The SS President Coolidge and Million Dollar Point, where military equipment was simply bulldozed into the sea when peace was declared, are popular sites, with stunning coral gardens accessible to snorkellers.

Aore Island just off Luganville houses a working cattle and coconut plantation as well as a boutique resort. But the real treasure is the natural aquarium just a few languid steps from the beach where coral bommies form their own private underwater ecosystems.

Hideaway Island Marine Sanctuary has terrific snorkeling off the beach, as well as the world’s only Underwater Post Office. Located 3m below sea level and 50m from the beach, it’s manned by scuba trained Vanuatu Postal employees who share their office with colorful tropical fish and coral.

Provisioning

Yachting World and South Seas Shipping in Port Vila are both valuable contacts for provisioning, fuel, LPG, sourcing spare parts or booking tours.

There’s a fruit and vegetable market as well as supermarkets in Port Vila. Traveler’s intent on self catering in the outer islands should be aware that limited provisioning opportunities exist outside of Port Vila and Luganville, though most villages will have a market of sorts.

Getting there

Air Vanuatu and Virgin Australia have flights between Australian east coast cities and Port Vila.

Customs clearance ports for mariners are at Port Vila, Luganville, Sola and Lenakel.

Guide to Vanuatu

The sailing destination of dreams

Deemed as ‘the happiest place on earth’ and a favoured location of the fabled South Seas, Vanuatu comprises a string of over 80 lustrous islands. These glittering islands lay just meters away from palm-fringed beaches, exotic rainforest and smouldering volcanoes drenched in natural beauty and an enticing allure.

Brimmed with indulgent comforts and modern luxuries, the islands of Vanuatu offer unique opportunities from quirky thatched bungalows hovering above the glistening waters of the Pacific to opulent boutique spas for those looking to feel utterly pampered.

Vanuatu is an idyllic destination for island hopping and boasts excellent superyacht ports which can be found on Efate, Espiritu Santo and Tanna. Whether you’re looking for an invigorating sense of adventure or a mellow vacation of sun lounging, Vanuatu offers everything a yacht charter should.

The national capital of Port Vila lies on the picture perfect island of Efate, a wonderland of tropical forestation and inviting sandy beaches. Radiated by a tangible buzz, Port Vila lies in the centre of the island brimmed by some of the best eateries in town and great opportunities for avid snorkelling enthusiasts. Overflowing with a plethora of restaurants and cafes, Port Vila offers a profusion of exotic flavours to tantalise the taste buds. For sandy bays and blue lagoons, cruise along the rugged coastline of Efate and admire the startling natural beauty of the glorious ocean vistas.

South of Efate lays the captivating land of Tanna. One of the most famous sights on a yacht charter to Vanuatu, Tanna boasts unmatched natural beauty and the unique opportunity to take a tour of the world’s most accessible active volcano, Mount Yasur. Tours are popularly embarked on at twilight where visitors can experience first-hand the captivating colours and enthralling vigor of this great volcanic crater.

The little known paradise of Espiritu Santo is the largest island in Vanuatu and boasts world renowned water sport opportunities, spectacular white sand beaches and gorgeous blue coves just waiting to be uncovered. With underwater caverns, historic shipwrecks and incredible marine life, this ‘mystery island’ is a haven for divers and snorkellers alike and is only accessible by boat.

With further islands to include Epi, Malekula, Ambrym, Pentecost, Maewo, and the Bank Islands there is no end to the exploration to be had on a yacht charter to Vanuatu. This safe and welcoming destination is saturated with friendly local people, island delights and rural retreats which are simply unforgettable.
