How to get to Vanuatu from Honiara by sea ?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Solomon Islands

Is it possible to travel to Vanuatu ( or even Fiji )by sea either from Honiara or Santa Cruz ? I read there were sailors who provided similar services in the past but can't find any contact, Honiara yatch club wasn't equally helpful ? Thanks in advance !

Yachts should be your best chance.
There are no passenger shipping services.

The only time a passenger ship travels between the two countries is when there is a specific need, for example the Anglican bishops' ship, Southern Cross, is travelling to Port Vila from Honiara this year. However, the ship will be full of their own people travelling to a meeting.
And this is not a luxury liner. More like a Sydney Harbour ferry. Most passengers sleep on deck or on the cabin floor.
