The boat slips away from Duong Dong as the heat of the day loosens its grip. Salted wind pushes past you, the harbor lights shrinking until the horizon becomes the first canvas of the evening—streaks of orange and violet folding into night.

The boat slips away from Duong Dong as the heat of the day loosens its grip. Salted wind pushes past you, the harbor lights shrinking until the horizon becomes the first canvas of the evening—streaks of orange and violet folding into night.
Phu Quoc sits on the edge of the Gulf of Thailand, its coastline carved by coral reefs and islands that have supported fishing and pepper farms for centuries. Local crews still follow traditional lines—lights to draw squid, smoke and open fires to grill the catch—and the territory’s geology of limestone outcrops and shallow seagrass beds shapes how and where fish gather.
On this half-day cruise you’ll watch the sunset, then try night squid fishing with crew-provided rods and luminous lures. Expect a small-group, family-friendly rhythm: a calm cruise out, fishing when darkness deepens, then a barbecue on board where the captain’s crew cooks your haul. In monsoon months (May–November) operations shift to Sao Beach or An Thoi and sunset visibility can be limited, but the night fishing continues.
Practical notes: pickup is typically from central Duong Dong hotels; the tour runs about four hours and is described as easy on fitness. Bring a light waterproof layer, non-slip shoes, and seasickness prevention if you’re sensitive. Charge devices and bring a small flashlight for moving on deck at night. Respect crew instructions while handling rods and the catch; local rules favor sustainable take and minimizing reef disturbance.
This cruise balances quiet coastal scenery, hands-on fishing, and fresh seafood—an accessible way to move from sight-seeing to a small, maritime ritual of Phu Quoc life.
