Big Game Fishing in Phuket: Andaman Sea Deep Sea Angling

Seven hours to land what the Andaman Sea holds

A big game fishing day trip from Phuket puts you on the water in the Andaman Sea with a guide, fishing equipment and lunch included. The trip runs between one and seven hours depending on conditions and your choice — you can fish actively or join as a non-angler and watch from the boat. Pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, coffee and tea round out the day.

• Enjoy tropical sandy beach and clear water

The Experience

The Andaman Sea off Phuket ranks among the world's top fishing destinations, and this trip launches from a sandy beach into waters deep enough to chase the species that make it worth the trip. You'll have fishing equipment ready and a guide speaking English to walk you through the day. The boat departs with pickup included, so you don't arrange your own way to the beach — the vehicle collects you and brings you back.

How long you stay on the water depends on what the fish are doing and how far out you need to go; the day can run anywhere from one hour to seven. Lunch is cooked and served aboard, along with bottled water, coffee and tea. If you're not fishing yourself, the non-fishing option lets you ride along and watch the action without a rod in hand — children from age three can come either way, and they sit with an adult if they're infants.

The boat is air-conditioned, so you have a break from the heat between runs. All fees and taxes are built into the price, so there's nothing to settle with the crew at the end of the day.

Is this one for you?Book the Big Game Fishing option if you want to actively fish and have done it before or are ready to learn on the water; the Non Fishing option suits anyone who wants to spend the morning or afternoon on the Andaman Sea without holding a rod, or who wants to bring children to watch without the pressure of catching something.

Top questions

What kind of fish can I catch in the Andaman Sea off Phuket?

The Andaman Sea holds many species that deep sea anglers pursue, though the specific fish depend on the season and how far out the boat travels. The guide will know what's running and where to find it.

How long does the fishing trip actually take?

The trip runs between one and seven hours depending on conditions, how far the boat needs to go, and how the fishing is going that day. You'll know the window before you book.

Is lunch included, and what if I have dietary needs?

Lunch is cooked and served aboard, along with bottled water, coffee and tea. Check with the operator about dietary restrictions when you book.

Can I bring my kids, and do they have to fish?

Children are welcome from age three. You can book the non-fishing option and bring them along to watch, or they can fish with equipment if they want to try.

What's the difference between the Big Game Fishing and Non Fishing options?

Big Game Fishing means you have a rod and tackle and fish actively throughout the day. The Non Fishing option puts you on the same boat for the same duration, but you ride along without fishing — good if you want to be on the water without handling a line.

Does the price include getting to the beach?

Yes — pickup is included, so an air-conditioned vehicle collects you and brings you back after the trip ends.
