With trolling, several lines run behind the boat. A strike can happen quickly, and the crew helps you through the fight. Tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and barracuda are common targets. A marlin is possible but not a reason to book this trip – a private big-game charter is a better fit for that.
You share the boat with other guests and pay per person. It works well for solo travellers, couples or families who want to fish at sea without hiring a whole boat. Children can often join from around age six; they should wear a life jacket and do not need to fish themselves.
Tuna and mahi-mahi can be found over a broader period than marlin. The sea is often more comfortable from November to April.
In stronger swell, shorter trips may be offered or tours cancelled. The captain decides based on conditions.
Choose trolling for a shared outing with small- to medium-sized target fish. Choose big game for a private full-day charter with heavier gear and a focus on larger fish. Bring sun protection, non-slip shoes and seasickness medicine if needed.
Trolling usually uses a shared boat, is often shorter and targets small to medium fish. With big game, you book a private boat with heavier equipment and a full-day route.
Yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo, barracuda and mackerel are common. A marlin is possible but cannot be planned for.
Shared trolling trips start at ฿4,990 per person. A private half day is priced closer to a charter and mainly makes sense for groups.
No. The crew will show you when a fish has taken the line and how to handle the rod.
Children can usually join from around age six. They wear a life jacket and do not have to fish. Confirm in advance whether non-fishing guests also need to book a place.
