The captain and crew were extremely nice and accommodating.  However I do not recommend this trip for fishing if you are just visiting the area and unfamiliar with the waters around Phuket.  The boat does not have a live well or a fighting chair which should be the first sign that it is not designed for fishing.  In addition the lunch provided was delicious however it was cooked on-board which required us to stop the boat and stop fishing for over 1.5Hrs.  Needless to say we did not catch a fish or even get a bite.  I think the captain and crew are better suited for island hopping and snorkeling however I do not recommend for anyone from out of town who would like to fish unknown waters and have a true fishing experience.

736 eur for a swimming trip.the boat is a 20years old riviera in good conditon for her age.the captain is an old man coming from the sail knowing nothing about fishing.the thai crew:2women and 1 man did what they can but know very few about fishing .they made a good meal .the material for fishing is NOTHING: 4 old rods but they have only 2 for trolling with poor artificial bait!!NO livebait,no nàtural bait,no popping,no jigging except the material my son. bringhimself in case !! Thecaptain said himself he was not a fisherman !! that he was there to sail the boat and that we have to tell him what to do and where to go!!! Finally not a single fish.To compare the day after you reserve a old thai boat with 2 thai crew for 300eur.we catch 3 tunas,1 dorade and 1 bonite and. fail to catch a marlin… with 5 rods and natural bait the crew prepare professionnally.we eat our fishes cooked by the crew in sushis and grilled mmmhh.That is a nice fishing experience not a swimming trip

Only 2 poor ( very ) small tunas ! An expensive and disappointing experience.
