My 8 yr old described today in one sentence. "The best dream I ever had"...the 3 boys all caught fish, with the biggest boast of all being a Marlin. The boat was impressive and the crew were friendly and knowledgeable. Capt Russ, Laura and Marcel made us feel very comfortable and despite my adverse reaction to the ocean turbulence, everyone had a wonderful time. Can highly recommend 👌
Booked a half day with nambas whilst in Vanuatu and could not recommend them enough to anyone visiting Vanuatu! Captain and crew were 10/10, boat was epic! Wouldn't matter if you were a seasoned game fisho or someone who's never seen a rod, you would be in good hands with nambas fishing charters!
Had a great morning charter with the Nambas Charter team. Russ, Laura and Marcel were great, they put us on the fish and we had a great morning with them. Thanks heaps and look forward to getting out again soon! Team Kiwi
Thanks to Captain Huss, Laura and Marcel for the day out. Ticked my bucket list in landing my first ever blue marlin.
I recommend this boat and the team; we had a great time, super organised, very competent .... see you next time :)
