5 Day Culture & Island Escape

Efate offers an easy introduction to yacht cruising in Vanuatu, combining Port Vila with the smaller islands and sheltered waters along its western and northern coastline. Lelepa, Artok and Moso bring together coral reefs, local communities, cultural heritage and quiet island scenery within relatively compact cruising distances. This five-day itinerary stays close to Efate, prioritising short passages and generous time for snorkelling, kayaking, cultural visits and relaxed afternoons onboard. It finishes in Havannah Harbour rather than retracing the route to Port Vila, giving the charter a progressive feel while keeping logistics straightforward.

6 Day Diving & Marine Adventure

Espiritu Santo and the surrounding islands of Sanma create one of Vanuatu’s strongest yacht-charter regions for guests interested in diving, marine life and secluded beaches. Sanma includes Santo together with Malo, Aore, Tutuba and smaller islands, while the region is recognised for reefs, freshwater lagoons, World War II history and opportunities to encounter dugongs. This six-day itinerary progresses from Luganville toward Aore, Malo and Tutuba before finishing along Santo’s famous northeastern coast. Compared with the Efate itinerary, the focus shifts strongly toward diving, marine exploration and beach experiences.

7 Day Kastom, Volcanoes & Waterfall Expedition

Penama Province provides a more adventurous side of Vanuatu, linking Pentecost, Ambae and Maewo through a landscape of traditional villages, volcanic scenery, waterfalls and little-developed coastlines. Pentecost is internationally known for Nangol land diving, Ambae for its volcanic interior and natural harbours, and Maewo for dense forests and numerous waterfalls. This seven-day itinerary is designed as a genuine inter-island expedition, beginning on Pentecost before progressing north through Ambae and Maewo and finishing in Luganville. Boat travel between the Penama islands is established locally, with Pentecost–Ambae crossings typically taking two to three hours and Ambae–Maewo around one to two hours by local boat, although yacht times will vary substantially with vessel and conditions.
