What To Expect

Start your day at Ao Chalong Pier, where your private fishing boat and friendly crew welcome you aboard for an unforgettable adventure. Cruise into the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea, leaving Phuket’s shoreline behind as you head toward Racha Island, renowned for crystal-clear waters and rich marine life.

Begin with trolling, trailing multiple lines behind the boat in search of powerful game fish such as tuna, barracuda, dorado, rainbow runners, and sailfish. The excitement peaks when the reels spin and the crew readies you for the fight. As Racha Island draws near, the boat anchors at prime spots for groundfish fishing with spinning reels, where you’ll feel every tug from the depths.

Take a break to enjoy a freshly prepared Thai lunch on board, complete with seasonal fruit and soft drinks. Afterward, the action continues with live bait fishing, a thrilling technique that lures in larger fish. When it’s time to relax, slip into the water for snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish—an underwater paradise as captivating as fishing above.

In the afternoon, the boat begins its return to Phuket, but the adventure isn’t over—you’ll troll along the way for one last chance at a trophy catch. As the sun casts golden light over Phuket’s rugged coastline, you’ll arrive back at Ao Chalong Pier ending the day with fresh catches, sea breeze in your hair, and memories you’ll treasure forever.

Horrible experience. Do not recommend

I dont usually complain about these tourist attractions as I know it is sometimes difficult to interact with people from different cultures that speak a different language, but this day was absolutely horrible from start to finish. My partner and I couldn't wait to get back to our hotel. We tried to book pick up through in-app messages and didn't even get a reply for over 3 days until we had already booked a driver. As soon as we got there I messaged in app to say we had arrived, with no response. We were acknowledged by a man at about 0840 to ask our name and he sent us with another man who said absolutely nothing to us, only gave hand gestures to "follow" Once we got to the boat the captain and the single deck hand didn't even bother to say hello or introduce themselves. We left at 9am then spent from 9.30 to 11.45 "trolling". Neither of the crew members told us what was happening, we were left sitting there while the captain set the fishing rods up and went back to driving the boat. I tried to make conversation by asking what we were fishing for, etc. Was met with sniggers and they obviously didn't speak any English at all because they didn't even try to communicate back. It took nearly 3 hours to get to our "fishing spot" and when asking what the deal was, we were met with blank stares and no response. Just the captain and crew member talking amongst themselves. We didn't catch a single thing while "trolling". We then fished with spin reels for an hour and a half. Baiting our own rods while the crew fished for themselves, and caught fish while all we caught were tiny little fish and one reasonably sized leather jacket. Lunch at 1pm was not even a fish that was caught that day, with rice, chicken and fruit. Nothing to complain about with the food but we were keen to get back into fishing. The captain had been using the rods he had set up for us while we were eating lunch and caught more fish that went into his esky. We didn't get to do any live bait fishing (not sure why as we had caught a few smaller fish but the captain used those for his own live bait fishing) It was absolutely horrendously hot by this stage and the captain was sitting in his fanned cabin while we drove around to countless more fishing spots, and we were sweltering in the rear cabin which had no air flow. The other option was to sit on the deck in the sun while catching absolutely nothing. The only one who caught anything from this point on was the captain. At 2.00 the crew member came out from the cabin and told us we are returning to the pier at 2.30. I said OK because we were so hot and unimpressed by this point. Almost a 3 hour trip back to the pier while we were so disgustingly hot I was tempted to just jump off the boat for some relief. Felt like we were going to pass out. "Trolling" on the way back after the captain had set the trolling rods up again, we caught 4 fish - "talang talang". The only input from my partner and I was when he yelled in Thai and did hand motions for us to come out and "catch the fish" I reeled the fish in myself but as soon as they were within 6 feet of the boat they were dragged up and slammed straight into the captains esky without us even being able to look at the fish we caught. Again absolutely zero response but blank stares when I was trying to ask about the species of fish, or if we were allowed to look in the esky. As we got back to Chalong pier after the 3 hour trip back, we were hand signalled to get off the boat climbing over eskies, so we did. We could see other boats packing up some of the fish caught for the customers take back with them, giving them leftover food etc. Not a word was said by our crew and we left without a single fish from our trip (not even one of the ones we caught ourselves). We waved and said thank you (with zero response) as we had to figure out our own way back as there were no tuktuks there to take us back down the long jetty. Eventually one arrived and we were told to get on by another man at the jetty. All in all a super disappointing day and for the almost 700 AUD I paid for the trip this is my most disappointing experience I have ever had in Phuket. We couldn't wait to get back to the hotel to cool off and get washed up. An absolutely wasted day in beautiful phuket and wish we had spent our money locally and bought our own fishing gear to fish off the beach, instead of with this poor excuse for a tour company. I believe they are using this ticket price to fund their own fishing trips and will now sell these fish for extra income. I will not use this company again.

Great trip, great fishing and great experience.

I was really expecting too much but I was extremely happy with the trip. We started off trolling for a few hours and were lucky enough to get 1 mahi mahi, 1 king mackerel, 1 queen fish and 3 other fish in the tuna family. Once we made the island stop we were able to take a swim in very water while the crew made us lunch. Wasn't expecting much but I was wrong again. Fish soup, rice, fried tuna, sashimi and a nice selection of cut watermelon and pineapple. Lunch was delicious. After an hour stop there we trolled to the bottom fishing area. Again surprised, we caught multiple grouper, snapper, trigger fish and other smaller fish. 5 stars from me!!

Great private getaway for families/small groups

Overall great experience, definitely worth having a boat to yourself over the ones jam-packed with tourists, the fishermen we went with were very friendly and accommodating. Went snorkeling near an island with clear waters and virtually had the area to ourselves, highly recommend for any small group looking for a unique experience.

Great activity.

This fishing activity, the weather is good and the fish harvest is abundant, the crew service attitude is very kind, if you like fishing, you must participate in some projects.
