Phuket is a top gamefishing destination in Southeast Asia. Indeed, the list of fighting fish species available in the Andaman Sea around Phuket is as long as one to be found in a game fisherman's handbook. They include Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Giant Trevally, King Mackerel, Wahoo, Cobia, Barracuda, Rainbow Runner, Dolphin Fish, Queen Fish and African Pompano. Phuket is surrounded by a sea rich in fish, with few operators and few serious game fishermen chasing them. The number of sailfish here during many months of the year is so astounding that this is gaining the reputation among those in the know as the ‘Sailfish Capitol of the World’. Sailfish are so plentiful near the Racha Islands, just an hour south of Phuket, that during a single day the fisherman will often see hundreds of adult sailfish jumping and splashing, or sometimes swimming right by his boat in schools with their fins out of the water. But he will commonly catch only one or two during the entire day of trolling lures past their bills. Still, one or two or four sailfish in a day is excellent for many fisherman, and some come from around the globe for this grand sailfish spectacle and one of the most reliable sailfish sites in the world.
The available fishing grounds in the Phuket area extend far beyond the nearby waters, to Krabi, a province about 75 km to the east of Phuket, the two Phi Phi Islands and the Similan Islands. |

To meet the needs of the ever increasing game fishers, more and more charter companies have sprung up in Phuket, Krabi and Phi Phi in the last few years, offering boats and equipment for hire, including professional flying-deck boats.
