Big Game Fishing in the Similan Islands

The Similan Islands, a marine national park, consist of
9 limestone islands and are located 90 kilometers
northwest of Phuket.

This destination is listed in the top ten diving spots
in the world, but also offers tremendous fishing
for all species in the Andaman Sea.

The relatively shallow water close to the islands is home
to Sailfish, Wahoo, King Mackerel, Barracuda,
Giant Trevally, Blue Finned Trevally, Golden Trevally,
Dorado, Queenfish, Rainbow Runner, Cobia,
several species of Tuna and juvenile Marlin.


Sailfish

The seamount, 25 kilometers west of the islands, is known
as the hunting grounds for big Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo,
Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna and Sharks.

It is also in this area the Phuket record in
Black Marlin (508 lbs) was caught by MV ”Andaman Hooker”.

This is a trip that gives you a fantastic opportunity to
combine your dream of big fish with swimming/snorkeling
or even diving* in crystal clear water filled with
tropical fish and beautiful corals.

Swimming around the coral reefs


The evening can be spent with a barbecue on one of
the many white powdery beaches, or bottom fishing
over a reef for some of the superb table fish
the area has to offer.

If you are a ‘Hard Core’ angler, The Similan Islands
has some of the best Shark fishing in the region.
Massive Tiger Sharks, Hammerhead Sharks, Mako Sharks
and Whaler Sharks (reef sharks) are considered normal
but other species are also found.

Thai Fishing Guide offers multi-day trips to the
Similan Islands during the months of November through April.

The trips vary from 3 days/2 nights to 6 days/5 nights
and are recommended for 4 persons with a maximum
of 5. MV “Dorado” can accommodate 6 persons
with a maximum of 8.

An adventure safari while on a 4 day/3 night trip or longer
to this destination can include a stop at Ko Ta Chai,
a remote island 50 km north of the Similans, close to the
Burmese border. Popper casting or fly fishing for
Giant Trevally, bottom fishing for Grouper and slow trolling
or casting for Sailfish are only some of the things
that these pristine waters have to offer.

Please note that fly fishing equipment is not
provided and you should therefore
bring along your own equipment and flies.

Thai Fishing Guide, as a member of
The Billfish Foundation, strongly encourages
the practice of “Catch and Release”
of Marlin, Sailfish and Sharks.

Note: Should you have any special requests (dietary,
special equipment, etc.) kindly e-mail us prior to your charter.
We will do our best to grant your requests.

*Scuba diving is only an option while chartering
MV “Andaman Hooker” or MV “Dorado” where a
qualified P.A.D.I divemaster will assist you
on every dive. Equipment is provided by local
dive shops and is included in the price.
The only thing you need to bring is your
P.A.D.I open water dive card.
