Morning Check-in & Departure: After pickup and pier arrival, board the boat and head out around 09:30–09:40.
First Fishing Spot: About 30 minutes of cruising brings you to the first reef or sand-bottom area; the crew prepares rods and bait, then everyone gets a chance to cast and wait for bites.
Midday Break & Swim: At one of the better spots the captain anchors longer so you can jump into the sea for a swim in emerald-green water before or after more fishing.
Lunch: The crew cleans some of the catch and serves a hot/cold lunch with fish, salads, rice and fruit while anchored or gently drifting.
Afternoon Fishing: Another round of relaxed fishing at a different location for those who still want to try their luck, while others can sunbathe or enjoy the views.
Return: The boat turns back towards Samui, usually reaching the pier around 15:30–16:00, where your driver waits to take you back to your accommodation.
Approximate Pickup Window: 08:15–09:00, varying by hotel location
Drop-off Window: Typically 16:15–17:15 back at your accommodation
Confirmation: TourInKohSamui.com confirms your precise pickup time and pier on the voucher once booking and accommodation details are final
Who It Suits: Great for beginners, families and casual anglers; this is light bottom fishing in relatively shallow water, not big-game trolling far offshore.
Catch Expectations: Usual catches are medium-size reef and sand fish (rock cod, whiting, smaller reef species) that are tasty for lunch but not trophy-sized.
Swimming: At least one stop for swimming in clear water; life jackets available, guests should be comfortable using a ladder to enter/exit the sea.
Boat & Comfort: The wooden boat offers shaded areas and basic but well-kept facilities including toilets; slower and more stable than a speedboat but can still rock with waves.
Health: Not recommended in rough seas for pregnant guests or people with serious back/neck problems.
What to Bring:
- Hat, sunglasses and reef-safe sunscreen
- Light clothes and swimwear
- Towel
- Camera or phone
- Personal snacks if desired
- Seasickness tablets if you are sensitive
