Client Testimonials
‘For those yachts looking for adventure and wanting to explore a little off the main cruising routes, I can highly recommend Vanuatu and the agent I used Virginia Craig from Port of Call Vanuatu. Vanuatu's cruising is like a last frontier for yacht cruising. It features ancient tribes still living in traditional ways, untamed wildlife, amazing fishing, idyllic anchorages, great adventures and an active volcano! Our time in Vanuatu was one of the main highlights of our South Pacific cruise. Thankfully our agent ensured the trip was a great success. Virginia's knowledge of the area and local people is great, furthermore, she speaks the local language and she goes out of her way to ensure a magical and unforgettable trip to the many islands that make up Vanuatu. My guests thoroughly enjoyed their time here and made lifelong memories that they will look back on fondly. I hope to be able to cruise Vanuatu again soon so that I can do some more exploring and I would not hesitate to employ the services of Virginia and the Port of Call Vanuatu team when i am there next’

‘I’m very happy to provide a reference for Virginia Craig and her Port of Call Vanuatu Yacht Agency. We recently spent two weeks in the fabulous cruising ground that is Vanuatu and Virginia’s services were invaluable. She made all aspects of the trip run as smoothly as possible. Her calm yet efficient demeanor make correspondence a pleasure. She has great local contacts and suppliers and will ensure your Vanuatu cruise is as easy as can be. I would recommend her services to fellow Yachts without hesitation and look forward to working with her again in the future.’

‘Virginia Craig has provided excellent service, for our stay in Vanuatu. Her local knowledge and access to local crew and guides has been great for our stay. Virginia handled our Customs requirements and her ability to speak the local language was also a huge help to us. Virginia has been able to point out safe anchorage areas throughout Vanuatu and can happily arrange tours and cultural experiences for our crew and guests and we really appreciate her friendly, approachable manner. Nothing is ever a problem with Virginia in charge of your requirements’

"Heritage Expeditions is a New Zealand based expedition travel company specialising in nature history expeditions in the Arctic, Antarctica and in the Islands of the western Pacific region.. We recently organised a “birding” expedition for the keenest of our bird-watching clients. Its objective was to find and photograph the many island endemics of this region. The expedition included sometime in Vanuatu. We contracted Virginia as Port Agent and local guide in Vanuatu … our brief to her was simply “this is where we want to go , this is what we want to see .. make it happen” and she did. The expedition was a huge success especially the Vanuatu leg of the expedition. Our clients were extremely happy largely due to the work, effort and local knowledge of Virginia …. Thank you"
