Local liveaboard trips offer the fishing enthusiast a greater opportunity to explore and experience what the Andaman Sea has to offer. Although the destinations reached are similar to those of the day trips – the islands of Racha Noi and Racha Yai, Maiton, Kai and other destinations such as Phi Phi, liveaboards reach a greater number of the hot spots that are not accessible on a one day trip. They also offer the distinct advantage of providing a wider range of types of fishing and thus the opportunity to catch a greater variety of fish. Bottom fishing and night shark fishing are also a focus on these charters, providing the deep sea fishing angler with a unique perspective on the fish rich waters of this area.

All meals aboard these charters are provided and chefs cater to both Thai and Western cuisines. Your catch of the day may be cooked to your liking or, simply ask your chef to prepare a special dish.

Boats available for local liveaboard charters are available for a period from two days/one night, three days/two nights to four days/three nights. Suggested sleeping capacity is four persons to a maximum of five. The Dorado will accommodate six to eight persons.

Liveaboard Fishing
Various species of gamefish such as Giant Trevally, Tuna, Dorado, Barracuda, Wahoo, Blue Finned Trevally, Cobia, Narrow Barred Mackerel (Tenggiri) and Rainbow Runners can be caught in the waters off Phuket. The bigger gamefish of Black Marlin, Sailfish and several species of sharks are found in deeper waters. A wide range of fishing techniques can be used given the conditions and types of fish to be caught: casting poppers, drift fishing with live and dead baits, bottom fishing, trolling are just a few techniques we can use.
