While I was certainly impressed with a haul of 30+ tuna from April’s booking aboard the Guzel, I had to wonder whether the crew would be able to duplicate that fishing excitement on my next trip.  Well, wonder no longer, as attested to by November’s catch:  2 dozen Blackfin & Skipjack Tunas, and a King Mackerel! 

The skipper & mate both seemed as enthusiastic about putting us on the fish as I was, thus making for a most enjoyable outing!

We had to postpone due to weather but CPT Sergei kept us informed everyday and genuinely wanted to provide great service. 

We managed to get out on a day with a bit of swell, but the captain and mate were extremely competent and the boat was very seaworthy, so we never felt unsafe at anytime.  Captain and Ende (mate) were terrific and we found the fish and started to HAUL!!  No shortage of baits or equipment, great support to the non-fishermen and a grand haul of over 20 fish.  Best day in the Andeman sea yet.

We anchored up for 45 mins on the leeward side of Koi Racha Soi and everyone had a fantastic time swimming and snorkeling and we picked up a few more fish off the reef handlining.  A really great day out for the avid fishermen and the non-fishers.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Sergei and Funtasea for groups of any ability.  These guys are good.

Captain was reasonably priced and delivered as promised. Crew was outstanding. The deckhand in particular was the man and pretty much made sure we caught fish. 12 tuna, one barracuda, one Terraly. Fresh sashimi on the boat and a great fried fish once we got home!
