96 kilometres northwest of Phuket lie the Similan Islands, a marine national park that consists of nine islands. Generally known as one of the world’s top scuba diving destinations, the waters surrounding these islands also offer some of the best saltwater fishing opportunities in the world. The Andaman Sea hosts a variety of fish that are abundant in this area - from the smaller gamefish such as Wahoo, Giant Trevally, Dogtooth Tuna, Tenggiri that are found within the relatively shallow waters of the islands to the larger big game fish of Black Marlin, Sailfish and many species of sharks that are found in the deeper waters at the seamount, 25 kilometres west of the Similans. Fishing techniques used are as wide in range as the fish to be caught and as the environment in which they live. Both Thai and European cuisines are served aboard these liveaboard charters. Your deep sea fishing catch is the highlight of most meals and the chef is open to suggestion on how it can be served or can recommend and prepare a creation uniquely and deliciously flavoured with Thai herbs and spices. Tuna can be served almost immediately after catching as sashimi or sushi. Barbeques and fish frys are the focus of full course meals. While at the Similans, take the advantage of exploring the spectacular underwater environment. Scuba diving is an option while chartering the Andaman Hooker or the Dorado. Local licensed dive shops can supply all the necessary equipment and a qualified PADI divemaster will lead you on every dive while you are exploring the underwater beauty of the area. Remember to bring along your open water diving card if you would like to dive.
