How to fish here

Captain Keith Mackee's Kiwi Magic has run the waters of Vava'u since 1991, the pioneer that was first to hold a sportfishing and whale-watching license in these waters. Aboard the 34-foot boat, blue marlin and sailfish are the mainstay, while mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, and wahoo can be enjoyed nearly year-round.
