Fabulous day fishing 🎣 - Fabulous day! So much fun and the crew were a delight. Caught plenty of fish and enjoyed the most relaxing time on deck, sunbathing, chatting and taking in the beautiful scenery. Got to take my fish home and cook it for dinner which was a bonus! Highly recommended 5*

A great Day's Fishing - Trolling for Mackerel Tuna was great fun and we caught quite a few. The ones we caught in the morning were served up for lunch along with chicken and salads. There was an excellent crew on board who were always nearby to help. Being the only English speaker (apart from the crew) on board was challenging but I've now increased my Russian vocabulary. A great day, everything from pick up to drop off went seamlessly

Fun day for everyone! 5* - It was one of the unexpected great day. We caught lots of fish and had best sashimi ever. The weather wasn’t best but the trip turn out really adventurous. The crew prepared great lunch while we snorkelled. It’s great value for money and lots of fun catching the fish.

Have fun playing for a day - Have fun playing for a day, but I feel that the boat trip is too long and the fishing time is very short. If you can grow longer, there are many fish on the island.

Well organised tour - Nice staff and well organised. Simple but good lunch. It is really a tourist fishing trip, aiming for little fish with groundfishing and bigger ones with trolling. But as there are up to 12 people on the boat you must be lucky to get the chance to reel in a bigger fish

Not really that fantastic - Have to pay extra 500 thb for using of fishing rod. Else can choose to go for hand line which is free. Package is not really cheap. Not as fun as you imagined. Group of 8 and 6 of us have motion sickness. Boat was travelling very slow when setting off. While coming back was fast once we had our lunch. Food was decent. Nothing fantastic about. Would advice you to skip unless you really love fishing or simply Nothing to do.

Very poor and wrongly advertised - Very over hyped and over advertised. BIG game fishing is not the correct description. 1. Got there and the guide told us we might catch some fish but probably not 2. Only mackerel NO big fish where we are going. 3. 8 people on boat and only 4 rods we had to draw numbers and take turns only 4 people got a small fish 4. We were given hand reels to fish over side of boat. Something you would give a child and caught 2 tiny fish. All in all it was a very expensive but very very disappointing trip and I would not recommend to any one Mr Guthrie Trip date 16.9.23
