Morning Check-in & Departure: After pickup and pier arrival, board the boat and head out around 09:30–09:40.

First Fishing Spot: About 30 minutes of cruising brings you to the first reef or sand-bottom area; the crew prepares rods and bait, then everyone gets a chance to cast and wait for bites.

Midday Break & Swim: At one of the better spots the captain anchors longer so you can jump into the sea for a swim in emerald-green water before or after more fishing.

Lunch: The crew cleans some of the catch and serves a hot/cold lunch with fish, salads, rice and fruit while anchored or gently drifting.

Afternoon Fishing: Another round of relaxed fishing at a different location for those who still want to try their luck, while others can sunbathe or enjoy the views.

Return: The boat turns back towards Samui, usually reaching the pier around 15:30–16:00, where your driver waits to take you back to your accommodation.

Approximate Pickup Window: 08:15–09:00, varying by hotel location

Drop-off Window: Typically 16:15–17:15 back at your accommodation

Confirmation: TourInKohSamui.com confirms your precise pickup time and pier on the voucher once booking and accommodation details are final

Who It Suits: Great for beginners, families and casual anglers; this is light bottom fishing in relatively shallow water, not big-game trolling far offshore.

Catch Expectations: Usual catches are medium-size reef and sand fish (rock cod, whiting, smaller reef species) that are tasty for lunch but not trophy-sized.

Swimming: At least one stop for swimming in clear water; life jackets available, guests should be comfortable using a ladder to enter/exit the sea.

Boat & Comfort: The wooden boat offers shaded areas and basic but well-kept facilities including toilets; slower and more stable than a speedboat but can still rock with waves.

Health: Not recommended in rough seas for pregnant guests or people with serious back/neck problems.

What to Bring:

• Hat, sunglasses and reef-safe sunscreen
• Light clothes and swimwear
• Towel
• Camera or phone
• Personal snacks if desired
• Seasickness tablets if you are sensitive

Prefer more time in the water than on the rod? Our Koh Samui snorkeling day trip to Koh Tan & Pig Island is a speedboat day trip to the reefs around Koh Tan and the beach of Pig Island (Koh Madsum), with snorkeling, kayaking, Thai lunch and hotel pickup included.

Prefer swimming and snorkeling over fishing? Our half-day longtail boat trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan is a slower-paced, small-group alternative — a traditional Thai longtail boat to the same southern islands, with a morning (09:00) or afternoon (13:00) departure and about five hours round trip.

Want to swap the fishing rod for a full day over coral? The Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan snorkeling day trip from Koh Samui runs by speedboat about 65 km north across the Gulf of Thailand, with at least two snorkeling sessions around Koh Tao, time on Koh Nang Yuan’s three-sandbar beach and the optional climb to its viewpoint, Thai lunch at a restaurant on Koh Tao, hotel pickup 07:30–08:30 and return 17:00–18:00.

Prefer wildlife spotting to fishing? Our Pink Dolphin Tour from Koh Samui to Khanom is a half-day speedboat trip to the Khanom coastline to search for wild pink dolphins near “Pancake Rock”, then on to Koh Tan for reef snorkeling and a beach stop with the pigs of Koh Madsum — hotel pickup 07:45–09:15, Thai lunch at the pier included.
