Overview

This private day on the water takes place aboard a genuine local fisherman's boat, with Koh Phangan fishermen as your crew. They know the island's waters and fishing grounds, and they show you the traditional methods they use themselves. The boat takes up to 20 guests, so it suits families, groups of friends and corporate teams who want a hands-on day rather than a standard sightseeing trip.

Fishing alongside the crew: You fish with the fishermen next to you, using the gear provided. They handle the practical side, so beginners can learn as they go and experienced anglers can pick up some local technique.

Snorkeling and a coastal cruise: Between fishing sessions, the boat stops for a private snorkeling session over the island's coral reefs, with equipment supplied. You then cruise around Koh Phangan's coastline and see its bays and shoreline from the sea.

Lunch on board: Lunch is served on the boat, with seasonal fruit and water to keep you going through the day.

Good to know: Transfers are not included. The trip is private, so only your group is on board, and the pace follows the fishing and the sea conditions.
