    Amazing Day!

    10 Hour Trip – Inshore Jigging2 adults

    we didnt catch as many fish as we would have liked. But that didnt stop us from having a great day and meeting new friends. Captain and first mate were great and did thier best to get us on fish. We ended up catching a few fish amd a ton of squid! Afterwards the captain took us to a restaurant in town and helped me in ordering some thai staples with out catch! Were eating it now and couldnt be happier! Will definitely be back here!

    young passionate captain & crew, lots of fish

    10 Hour Trip –Krabi Phi​ Phi​ Zone2 adults

    we went out on the first of january, jigging in koh phiphi zone upto around 45m maximum i think. we had a young captain and deckie, both 18 but both full of hunger to catch fish and have a great trip. we pulled out of the port abd started headung towards the fist zone, dropping jigs to 24m. the boys hooked up into multiple nize sized queen fish whilst we managed to get bit off by barracuda a couple of times. we did multiple drifts and drops over the zones, the boys were eyes on the fish finder and the water at all times, more than happy to restart the drift when the boat passed the spots. after the queenfish moved on we moved into a different spot and first drop gifted a nice sized cobia and some snapper before drying up, next we moved onto some wrecks and struggled to get hooked fish into the boat without being bit in half. big barracuda were a bit of a nuisance but great excitement all the same. we finished off a great day jigging by going inshore after a tip off the GT were biting! we pulled up and immediately started hooking into GT approx 2kg average, great fun! note boat traffic is high in the phiphi zone so if youre not used to big swell and waves all day this may not be the zone.

    Successful trip and nice owner

    10 Hour Trip –Krabi Phi​ Phi​ Zone2 adults

    We had a successful trip, catching 8 fish and did some snorkeling. The snorkeling was by a secluded island and there were many tropical fish to see. The staff was helpful and provided lunch and mangoes for snacks. We took our fish to a restaurant right by where the boat docked and they cooked it for us. The company owner speaks fluent English and joined us for dinner. He was unable to join us for the trip that day, and one thing to be aware of is that his crew does not speak English as well as he does.

    Reported catch:
    Great Barracuda
    Giant Trevally
    Dusky Grouper
    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you so much, Louis, to you and your buddy for joining us and for taking the time to share this detailed review. We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the fishing, snorkeling at the secluded island, and the fresh catch cooked up by the restaurant by the beach. I sincerely apologize that I wasn’t able to join you on the trip, as I would have loved to be there. Fishing is truly my passion, but unfortunately I’m not able to be on every trip. That said, I’m constantly guiding and training my crew to ensure our guests always receive the best possible experience. Thank you again for your understanding and support. It was a pleasure joining you for dinner, and we hope to welcome you back again for another fishing adventure in the Andaman Sea! 🎣🌊

    Best Thailand Fishing Charter

    10 Hour Trip – Inshore Jigging3 adults1 child

    We had a great day with an outstanding crew. We caught some Queenie's, a coba and so many squid. Also caught barracuda and some other fish. Captain arranged a restaurant to cook some of our catch which was very nice, and also prepare the rest for travel. Highly recommend this trip. We will be regular customers.

This is what we do in our charters

Feb 3, 2026 • Tambon Ao Nang
? Let’s talk about how we fish & the jigs we use ? Many guests ask us what fishing method we focus on during our trips, so here’s a quick breakdown ? On our charters, we mainly do jigging, which is the most effective method in our waters. Depending on conditions and target species, we may also mix in live baiting and light bottom fishing, especially in offshore areas. ? Inshore Jigging Trips • Water depth: 15m – 35m, depending on the zone • Jig size: 30g – 100g Fun, fast action and suitable for beginners as well as experienced anglers. ? Phi Phi Island Zone • Water depth: 25m – 50m • Jig size: 30g – 200g A great balance of structure, depth, and fish variety — one of our most popular areas. ? Offshore Zones (Koh Haa / Hin Malay / Hin Daeng / Racha Island) • Water depth: 40m – 150m • Jig size: Up to 400g Deeper water, stronger currents, and bigger fish — best suited for experienced anglers. ? About the jigs & how we use them We use different jig profiles depending on water depth, current, and fish behavior: • Slim / long jigs – sink fast and are ideal for deep water and strong current • Wide / flat jigs – slower fall, more flutter, great when fish are less active ? Jigging techniques we apply • Slow Pitch Jigging Short rod movements with controlled lifts, allowing the jig to flutter and fall naturally. This method works very well when fish are inactive or holding close to the bottom. • Speed Jigging Faster retrieves with continuous winding and rod action to imitate a fleeing baitfish. Highly effective for aggressive predators in deeper or offshore waters. Our guides will always adjust jig type, weight, and technique on the spot to match sea conditions and maximize your chances of a hookup ? If you’re keen to experience proper jigging in the Andaman Sea, you know where to find us ? ? DM us for trip details ? Tight lines always!

Throwback Krabi Offshore Jigging Trip -

Oct 29, 2024 • Tambon Ao Nang
? Action Rewind: One Year Ago Today! Our team headed offshore for some deepwater jigging in waters 150m–220m deep. We’d been losing lines and wondering about the mysterious fish cutting us off… and finally, we met our match! After an intense 1-hour battle, using an Ocean Jigger 1500PG paired with a PE4 Kenshin Rod, PE3 braided line, and a 60lb fluorocarbon leader, we hooked a massive Pelagic Thresher Shark! At 300g with a 4/0 assist hook, it took nearly all the line on the reel, leaving us with just 50m! To keep up, we had to start the boat and follow it—this beauty was estimated at a solid 60–70 kg! While we wanted to snap a photo, it was just too big to bring onboard. In line with our sustainable fishing practices, we safely released this majestic creature back to the depths. See you out there! ??
