My wife and I went on a 4 day fishing trip with ocean blue with my two brothers and their wives plus nephew and girlfriend. 25 yo to 65 yo. It was a long overdue family catch-up as we live on different sides of Australia. Huge variation in fishing experience and keenness to fish all day in our group. Unfortunately 3 of our 4 days happened to be poor weather - windy and rain. Can’t plan that in advance. Last day was a brilliant day with flat seas, blue skies and stunning scenery uninterrupted by rain and clouds. We had a really time. Erin was really excellent in helping us get organised for each days fishing or activities (ie when a couple of wives had a day off fishing). Boats were well suited and in very good condition. Alistair has done a great job to have them in such good condition after the 2 cyclones. Even in challenging sea conditions (and I’m not a good sailor) I felt totally safe because of the condition of the boats and the experience / skill of the young skippers. Skippers Patrick and Luke (on the boats I went on) were clearly skilled in running the boats and good fishing guides - but most of all they were totally attuned to and concerned about making sure we were having a good time. For example, when it was getting lumpy they checked whether we wanted to move into more protected waters behind islands to be more comfortable. My brothers went out with skipper Sammi who also was an enormous character a bit like the everready bunny. We caught some fish (my best a 20kg dogtooth) but that was not the highlight of the trip. We had a really good time and Vanuatu is truly beautiful. The location, accommodation and food at Trees and Fishes was simply first rate. It seems rude calling them “staff” because they were so friendly and attuned to making us have a good time. Thank you Erin, Patrick, Luke (and Sammi) and Ali for making our trip so good.

We had a great time! The skippers are super knowledgeable and keen, food and accommodation were great. The staff was friendly. Highly Recommended.

My trip was an absolute pleasure, the food was great, the accommodation was great, the staff led by Erin were great and the fishing was pretty bloody great too. I can not commend captain Patrick enough he put us on the fish and was a absolute champion while doing it.

My second trip with Ocean Blue. Such a magic location. The staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough to ensure we had a great stay. Stepping off the boat each day after having our arms ripped off to a few beers by the fire pit... you just can't beat it! We had to work for the fish we got but still had some great Yellowfin and Mahi come on board. I'll have to do some homework on how to land a Doggie though as we were smoked on more than a couple of occasions during a hot bite on the Saturday afternoon. Sometimes it's about more than the fishing. It's about the experience, meeting good people and spending time with good mates in a great location. Thanks again to skippers Alli and Patrick who put us on the fish and Erin who coordinated it all back onshore. Great times, see you again.

Back home now from our fishing trip to Vanuatu. Loved every minute. Caught our fish we were hoping for and more. The Sail Fish was a bonus and a record for the resort. Thanks to our fishing guide Sammy and hosts Ali and Erin and all the staff at the resort. Your genuine hospitality was amazing.
