Absolute Asia/Thailand/Phuket Big Game Fishing Day Trip

Overview

A one-day private fishing charter from Chalong Pier. Boat size, group size and price are set in your written quote.

This is a one-day charter you can add to a Phuket stay. Boats go out from Chalong Pier and troll for marlin, tuna and sailfish, the fish operators list for the Andaman Sea. Nobody can promise a catch, so the day is sold as a trip, not a result.

Our Phuket fishing guide explains the boats, the seasons debate and typical listing prices.

Price guide

Platform listings checked on 9 November 2026 start at about 3,800 baht, roughly USD 115, per person for a shared full-day big game trip (Pelago). At the luxury end, a Phuket charter broker lists deep-sea game fishing of 8 to 10 hours from 55,000 baht per boat, roughly USD 1,700, with captain, crew, basic tackle, bait, fuel and insurance (private-yacht.com). Dollar figures use about 33 baht to the dollar and are approximate. We confirm the final price in writing.

“Thai food isn’t about simplicity; it’s about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. It’s spicy, sour, sweet, salty and bitter all fighting for supremacy.”

Itinerary

Phuket

Meet the crew at Chalong Pier, or ask for a hotel pickup in your quote. The boat heads into the Andaman Sea, often toward Racha Yai, and trolls for marlin, tuna and sailfish. The crew supplies tackle. Weather decides whether the boat goes, and we confirm the sea forecast with the operator beforehand.

What does a trip cost?

A shared full day starts at roughly USD 115 per person, and a luxury game-fishing yacht starts at roughly USD 1,700 per boat for a full day. We send a written quote.
