The boat slips past the port with the island still dim, the sky paling as breakfast and coffee are laid out on the deck. Salt and engine oil mingle; the captain scans the horizon with practiced calm while lines are readied. Sea spray dares you to stand at the rail — this is open water fishing, where patience and quick hands both matter.

Phu Quoc sits at the edge of the Gulf of Thailand; the waters around Duong Dong and the An Thoi archipelago have long supported local fishers who use simple, effective gear and knowledge passed down through generations. Geologically the island is granite and limestone, its southern isles dropping steeply into deeper channels where pelagic species gather. You’ll see brief cultural marks — floating fish pens, wooden longtails, and the occasional solitary buoy marking a trap.
Expect a 6–7 hour outing: an early pickup, a sunrise crossing to the fishing grounds, coached casting and baiting from a local captain, then a midday cook-up of fresh catch. The work is hands-on but accessible; fishermen teach basic techniques and safety. Practicalities matter: secure footwear for a wet deck, sun protection, and preemptive seasickness measures. Weather dictates comfort and catch rates — calm dry-season mornings are best.
Whether you’re after a trophy catch or a day of sea air and fresh seafood, this trip mixes local fishing craft with straightforward logistics: equipment provided, hotel transfers included, and a returned plate of what you helped bring aboard. It’s a pragmatic, immersive day at sea that rewards curiosity and common sense in equal measure.
The tour typically includes hotel pickup/drop-off in Duong Dong or An Thoi, breakfast, lunch prepared from your catch, fishing equipment, and an English-speaking guide (additional languages may cost extra).
Common targets are snapper, mackerel, grouper and other nearshore pelagic species; catches vary by season and sea conditions and larger migratory fish appear in deeper channels.
Children under 6 may be restricted for safety reasons; older children who tolerate boats can participate but should be supervised at all times on deck.
Bring or take medication before boarding, sit mid-boat where motion is less, focus on the horizon, and stay hydrated; the operator will accommodate if conditions become unsafe.
HAPPY PLUS TRAVEL operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
