Hi Michael, Just take a look at the pics i posted. Thanks a lot for that fishing with you and Steph. Cheers, mate.
wonderful captain and very experienced first mate. Worked very hard to keep the lines out there all the time when trolling. cooked up some of the fish for us and ate some of it as sashimi for lunch on the boat. Also sautéed up some shrimp and some yummy vegetables. Excellent lunch. All excellent. Asked us how much of the fish we wanted to take with us at the end of the trip, but we were leaving the next day, so we only took one tuna with us. we had to ask them to fillet it for us because we didn’t have what we needed to do it ourselves.
we went on a two night 3 day overnight trip early April, brought our two kids 6 and 8. The captain and crew were exceptional, caught fish non stop. lots of tuna, lots of barracuda, two king mackeral, two snapper, a few small gts. the food they prepared was some of the best meals we had in thailand. we stopped off at a few different reefs for snorkeling, which was also amazing. really dont think a fishing trip could have been better.
Thank you for booking us.
Our group (5 people) went out 1/6/26 and had an amazing time! The fish were few, we caught 2 tunas and lost 2, not for the crew's lack of trying, they were hard at work trolling the whole trip. We did try bottom fishing for a bit, but they were not biting. Honestly, even if we didn't catch anything this trip would have still been worth it. The crew prepared both tunas - sashimi style & grilled which was probably the most fresh & delicious tuna we have ever had. They also had plenty of refreshments, a cooler you can bring in your own beverages (we brought beer), and fresh fruit to snack on before a well prepared lunch. We were able to snorkle and swim for a good period of time as well! We were able to see vast types of ocean fish snorkling, but watch out for the jellyfish! 10/10 trip all in all. Would highly recommend. The crew was fantastic, the boat was large & clean with plenty of different places to lounge in the sun or shade, views were nothing short of beautiful & you get a private boat trip for a very decent price. Make sure to tip the crew!
Thank you for your booking, guys.
We had a really fun and successful fishing trip overall. The crew worked hard all day and put us on fish—we ended up catching a wahoo, multiple tuna, and a ton of grouper while bottom fishing. Lunch on board was also excellent, and the deckhand in particular was very attentive and helpful throughout the trip. We even got to jump out and swim at Racha Noi. A few things to note for future guests: • The captain listed in the booking is not the one you actually go out with. slight language barrier. • The boat is similar to the listing photos but not the exact same vessel (we went out on a different boat than advertised). • When we asked about taxidermy for mounting our catch, the captain/crew did not have a contact or immediate recommendation, so we had to figure that out ourselves. None of these were dealbreakers, but it’s good to know ahead of time so expectations are clear. Overall, the fishing itself was great and the crew worked hard to make sure we had a good day. If you’re focused on catching fish and having a solid experience on the water, Captain Dan delivers.
Thank you Robert for the fishing with us. You are absolutly right that thai boat captain who was on board with you and didn't match with the person who did all the trip arrangments is not one person. Hope this minor thing didn't affect on your great catch you got.
Communication absolutely spot on. We do a private charter every for last couple of years and by far the most organised, professional, hard working crew we have experienced yet. Finally found our go to team. They tailored our trip to suit us. Late departure to suit fishing we wanted to do. Hotel transfers spot on. Crew knowledgeable and friendly. Gear of great quality and in good condition. Highly recommend the private charter to suit your needs. Will be back next year!
Dear Nathan, Thank you so much for fishig with Funthaisea. Hope to welcome aboard you again.
