Jogo de pesca da ilha de Racha de Phuket

Loved it great crew great day they were so lovely and lunch was yummy enjoyed the fishing and loved the swimming

An overall disappointing experience. There was no communication from crew when we boarded. English skills were non-existent. We were told nothing. Most people hadn’t touched a fishing rod after 2 hours of watching the deckhand do the fishing. Skipper was slow to change strategy which meant hours of inactivity.

Only 1 hour of fishing for small fish. The description is a lie. They also dont provide you with snorkeling gear. They want you to purchase on board. Also they won't let you use life jackets

Booked an excursion with phuket cheap tour After a back and fourth with agent named Nazar The boat ride was nice but the fishing action was nil.. they hype up the game but don't deliver on the day. Company was good but they didn't stick their word or the actual tour for the day

The trip was very disappointing. My expectations wasn't even too big since fishing can't be guaranteed. 1. The boat was overcrowded, 9 or 10 people fishing + 3 or 4 kids on board, and had to be in the same side of the boat when dropping the line. You can imagine how hard it was to keep the line not get tangled to each other. 2. The crew was definitely either lazy or was part of SOP, I don't know. But we only moved once. No burley bucket, not even have more than 1 kind of bait. 3. I asked to use a small part of the oily fish that we caught as bait, because we only caught 5 or 6 baby fish, less than 30cm, but the crew refused. 4. We were promised for 2 sessions of fishing and 1 session of swimming & snorkeling. But it was only 1 session of fishing and 1 session of swimming, no snorkeling offered even it was mentioned in the website that snorkeling equipment is included. Overall it was a huge waste of time and money.

This tour was just OK Not enough time fishing, too long on the boat with nothing to do, tour guides didn't speak much English.

Not great if you want to do some serious fishing. Racha boat trip with a little bit of fishing. 90% of the time fishing is just trolling while commuting to and from the island. I was baffled we caught anything. The lures they were using were just really big fly rod flies. The equipment is old with some reels being kept alive with tape and prayers. You pull numbers to see who reels in first. I was only able to reel in one. And they make you sit in the fighting chair for a 2kg skipjack it’s really silly. When we got to racha island they wanted us to swim and wait for them to cook. So while they were cooking I was fishing on my own and once they saw me they were yelling at me even though everyone was done swimming. Being told not to fish while on a fishing trip is crazy. When we did finally stop and fish they made us all fish off the same side of the boat. 🤦‍♂️ they had us using cut bait and a really heavy weight for bottom fishing but instead they kept telling us to reel in constantly and to move the rod up and down as if we were jigging but not using a jig. But this boat had more than enough rods for everyone so I’m glad I didn’t have to hand line fish and the boat was not a long tail boat so that was a pleasant surprise.

Unless you have never been fishing before, don’t waste your time and money. Let’s start with the crew! Captain was Thai and deckhad was from Myanmar and neither could speak a word of English as promised in the itinerary. Normally this would not be a problem as my wife is local however the captain would not come out of the wheelhouse unless it was to fish for his own dinner leaving the deckhand who could speak neither Thai or English. Unfortunately they also had no interest in sorting out the numerous tangles that occurred due to ten people bottom fishing at the same time leaving myself as an experienced fisherman doing their job for them. Next is the equipment!! Old, antiquated and broken is the best way to describe it. The rod I was given had 3 broken eyelets and many others had broken reels that failed when trying to retrieve the terminal tackle from 50 metres. Lucky there were no larger fish caught. When I pointed out the damaged equipment my wife was told by the captain that we should have spent more money on an expensive tour which, considering they changed 2800 Baht per person with 10 people on board makes it a 28000 Baht trip is much more than a private fishing trip. Finally the game fishing!! Well if that’s what you want to call it. I would call it catching bait and not much of it. They advertise with photos of sailfish which are obviously taken from another site. The lures that were trawled behind the boat were only a couple of centimetres long, similar to a samaki bait jig so there was never any chance of raising a sailfish , but I guess it would have been possible for a sail to come up on one of the few 25cm queen fish that were hooked. Imagine my surprise when the deck hand insisted on the customers reel in a 25cm fish in the game chair, what a joke. Funnily the largest fish of the day was a dead cod that had died and floated to the surface because of barotrauma which the crew promptly gaffed to take home and feed the family. Everything else that was caught is what I would refer to as bait.

None three hours trolling one hour to fish. It was just a boat ride. Worst ever, wasted money, pictures showed were incorrect no large fish

Not great. Fishing was so-so, didnt get to touch a rod the entire time. Started with trawling then proceeded to do drop lines with a spool instead of a rod. Crew was distant and just did their job (which is fair) but didn't interact with the people on the boat much. Seeing as how we didn't manage to catch many fish I thought they would make the effort to chit chat and entertain us a bit- point out maybe some islands/ introduce us to some local things that we passed etc. But the crew kept to themselves and we just sat in the boat in silence for almost 7 hours.
