Each boat accommodates up to <strong>five anglers<\/strong> in comfort, with deck space and stability designed for productive days on blue water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes the EdgeWater 318CC the Right Boat for Vanuatu?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vanuatu&#8217;s productive offshore grounds sit beyond the reef line, requiring vessels that handle open-ocean runs without sacrificing angler comfort. The EdgeWater 318CC&#8217;s generous deck layout gives five anglers room to fish without crowding, while the twin-engine configuration provides the performance margin to move between productive areas during a session. For serious blue-water sport fishing, this platform sets the standard in the South Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a87d2c1d-5b49-4416-ba0a-64263881ea6d-scaled.webp\" alt=\"Ocean Blue Fishing Adventures sportfishing boat cruising on blue water in Vanuatu with multiple rods rigged, Ocean Blue branding on the hull and a tropical island coastline in the background.\" class=\"wp-image-32581\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;object-fit:cover;width:695px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a87d2c1d-5b49-4416-ba0a-64263881ea6d-scaled.webp 2560w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a87d2c1d-5b49-4416-ba0a-64263881ea6d-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a87d2c1d-5b49-4416-ba0a-64263881ea6d-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a87d2c1d-5b49-4416-ba0a-64263881ea6d-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a87d2c1d-5b49-4416-ba0a-64263881ea6d-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a87d2c1d-5b49-4416-ba0a-64263881ea6d-2048x2048.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/a87d2c1d-5b49-4416-ba0a-64263881ea6d-100x100.webp 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ocean Blue Fishing Adventures \u2014 our EdgeWater centre console running the Vanuatu coastline, rigged and ready for a full day on the blue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Dining and Shore Experiences Are Included?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ocean Blue packages are built to keep the whole trip easy, with <strong>Trees and Fishes accommodation included <\/strong>and <strong>breakfast each morning of your stay<\/strong>, so you can start the day right without organising a thing.
