A blue morning breaks over An Thoi Harbor and the boat eases away from the pier, engines tapping a steady rhythm against a sky that promises sun. Onboard, salt and sunscreen mix with the low chatter of a small group—beginners and anglers alike—preparing lines while the guide reads the sea. The trip moves to the outer edge of Mây Rút (May Rut) island, where clearer water and submerged reefs concentrate reef fish and small pelagics.

Take seasickness prevention
Bring oral or patch-based medication if you’re prone to motion sickness—offshore transit and choppy conditions are possible, especially in the monsoon months.
Protect from the sun
Use high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective clothing—reflected sun off the sea intensifies exposure during long fishing periods.
Wear non-slip shoes
Closed, grippy deck shoes help prevent slips on wet surfaces and make hauling fish and gear easier on the boat.
Know local catch etiquette
Listen to the guide on size limits and species to release—local rules and reef health matter for sustainable fishing.
