Phuket: Traditional Thai Longtail Fishing Trip with Dinner

Sail from Rawai Pier with Sea Gypsy fishermen, drop a line off Bon Island and finish with dinner by the sea. Only 3 to 5 anglers per boat, hotel transfer included.
The sun is sinking toward the Andaman Sea, and a longtail boat is already waiting at Rawai Pier. Its crew are Sea Gypsies, the indigenous fishing community of Phuket’s coast. They know these waters better than any map, and much of the seafood on Phuket’s markets and restaurant tables comes from people like them. Today they take you out with them.

Your Treasure Island guide brings you from your hotel to the pier. Only 3 to 5 anglers share each boat, so there is room to cast, time to talk with the crew and a real feeling of being on the sea rather than on a tour. The longtail runs about 30 minutes to the fishing grounds off Bon Island, where the crew chooses the spots.

Then the fishing begins. Drop a line to the seabed with a spinning rod or a hand line and wait for the tug. Snapper, grouper, sea bass, barracuda and tuna are all possible catches, and every bite, big or small, is yours. As evening comes on, the sea turns gold and, if the sky is clear, the sun goes down right in front of you.

Back on shore, a seaside cafe is waiting. The kitchen cooks your catch to order, fried, boiled or steamed, with tom yum soup, fish soup and sashimi on the table. Drinks are paid separately. Then your driver takes you back to your hotel with sea salt on your skin and a story to tell.

One evening, one small boat, one dinner you earned yourself. Your longtail is waiting.
