A typical day charter destination could be the Racha Islands – Koh Racha Yai and Koh Racha Noi - about 2 hours sailing from Phuket and trolling all the way. These two islands are several miles apart and can offer spectacular fishing, particularly for sailfish, wahoo, dorado and tuna.

An alternative fishing spot is a drop-off located some 15 nautical miles west of Phuket which also offers the angler a chance of the above species.

Trips to the Racha Islands often include a stop at one of them for lunch. Weather permitting, many guests take the chance to do some snorkelling and swimming there as well, before the trolling continues and the boat arrives back in Phuket

A popular live aboard destination is the Similan Islands, a marine national park northwest of Phuket that is world famous for diving, and fishing for species such as marlin, sailfish, trevally, wahoo, tuna and barracuda. These islands and the nearby Ton Mai drop-off offer exciting big game and night fishing.

Live aboard trips are easier during the months of November to March/April due to the more variable weather from May to October.
