Set out from Chalong Pier for an eight‑hour trolling and bottom‑fishing run into the Andaman Sea. Target tuna, marlin candidates, and reef species while enjoying on‑board lunch and expert guidance.
You push off Chalong Pier before the heat builds and the Andaman Sea lays out like a promise — wide, turquoise, and restless. The boat slips past limestone bluffs and fishing longlines, engines low as the crew rigs rods and baits for an eight-hour run toward Racha Island and deeper water beyond. The day alternates between the pulse of trolling for pelagics and the patient focus of bottom fishing; salt spray and the thrum of the reel keep you honest.

You push off Chalong Pier before the heat builds and the Andaman Sea lays out like a promise — wide, turquoise, and restless. The boat slips past limestone bluffs and fishing longlines, engines low as the crew rigs rods and baits for an eight-hour run toward Racha Island and deeper water beyond. The day alternates between the pulse of trolling for pelagics and the patient focus of bottom fishing; salt spray and the thrum of the reel keep you honest.
Geology here is visible in the islands: granite ridges and eroded limestone cliffs rising from reefs that host the baitfish the big game predators follow. Fishing is woven into local culture — Phuket’s piers and markets show generations of anglers who read currents and seasons. On a clear day you may see dolphins slicing the swell or terns diving into schools of mackerel.
Practical guide: the tour is a full 8‑hour trip with all trolling and bottom gear provided, plus snorkel kit and lunch. Expect moderate physical effort — long casts, battling a tuna, and standing on a rocking deck. Sea conditions dictate the day; trips can be altered or canceled for safety. Hotel pickup from central Phuket areas is offered, and operators will reconfirm before departure.
Bring strong sun protection, a light long-sleeve, non-slip shoes, and motion-sickness medicine if you’re prone; waterproof your valuables. Keep hydrated, pace yourself with the onboard lunch, and follow crew safety briefings — a big bite can be thrilling but controlled handling keeps both angler and fish safe for future fights.
You may target tuna, small marlin/sailfish (depending on season and location), mackerel, and reef species; success depends on conditions and seasonal migrations.
