A bad day fishing.
The boat was okay, the crew was friendly and our guide was excellent. Remembering this is a fishing charter, the equipment was disastrous.
There were 8 people fishing, but only 7 rods and reels were available. 2 of the rods had reels that weren't fit for purpose either.
We fished an area that had no reef, and the fish that came out were maximum 20cm long. This was an obvious attempt to ensure that some fish were caught.
When I did eventually get a chance to fish, a member of the crew literally took the rod out of my hands to fish himself.
So, lunch was good, and the Andaman Sea and islands are beautiful, but as far as rating the fishing, it was a 0 out of 10 for me. I paid nearly $200 Aud to go fishing but ended up being a spectator.
Will definitely not be going back to this charter next time I'm in Thailand, and I can not recommend them to others who want to go fishing.

Dear Kev702,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your fishing trip did not meet your expectations and appreciate the opportunity to respond.
We regret the issue with the fishing equipment and the number of rods available onboard that day. This is not the standard we aim to maintain, and we are actively reviewing this with our team to prevent such issues in the future.
Please note that this program is not designed to be a full-day, dedicated fishing charter. The journey from Phuket to Racha Island is quite far, and our itinerary is time-limited. Due to distance, weather, and government restrictions, we can only fish in specific zones, and the fishing portion is meant to be a fun, light activity rather than a professional sport-fishing session.
The true highlight of this trip is the overall experience. cruising the beautiful Andaman Sea, enjoying freshly cooked lunch on board prepared by our crew, and swimming in the crystal-clear turquoise waters of Racha Island. The fishing activity is just one element added for enjoyment during the day.
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the scenery and lunch, and again, we sincerely apologize that the fishing aspect was disappointing. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve our services. We hope to welcome you back in the future for a more enjoyable day on the water.
Warm regards,
Nix

Underwhelming
The trip was sadly nothing worth doing I was excited to go out and get some deep sea fishing but we never got a chance to. Of the group of 14 only three ever even sat down to try and fish while trolling. They stopped to let everyone do some jigging, but the boat had too many people and our lines kept getting tangled with the person next to us. The guides didn't seem to know where the fish were. Even when we saw sea birds diving at a spot, they didn't even attempt to go over and see what was driving the bait fish to the surface. Not only that, but the boat returned an hour early. Overall I'm just as disappointed in the trip as the other passengers. I know that when fishing there's a chance you won't catch anything, but I at least expected a chance to try and do some fishing. Hard to do when you spend the entire time untangling your line from the guy's next to you.

A fun filled day!
It was a full day of fun. We went fishing with this tour in the beautiful waters of Phuket. Everything worked out as planned. We booked the day before and got an immediate response from tour operator. So nice!
We got picked up at hotel at 7am. After an hour and half of car transfer, we arrived at the Pier and wax quite promptly get on the boat. Racha Yai island fishing spot was about an hour away. Water was about 30 Meter deep.
Crew was diligent and helpful. There were no bites on any of our lines. The boat captain though got three small fishes as soon as he dropped the line.
Lunch was good. The crew made fried rice, chicken wings and fried the fishes caught.
Then, we swam at a Cove. Life is beautiful. By the time we got back to the pier, it was 5pm. We requested to be dropped off at Patong. It was accomplished.

Beautiful
We were lucky as there weren't many people when we went so we were able to have a good look around. Shoes must come off to enter the Temple and females must be covered.
We went to all the places attracted around Phuket like Big Buddha Chalong Temple, Karon viewpoints, and visit Phuket local farm...
We enjoy the trip so much!
The tour leader is friendly
We almost have all information about the place we visit. So interesting
I recommend this to all who want to visit Phuket is worth for money...
