Half-Day Reef Fishing: Fishing Trip from Ao Nang for Beginners and Families

The reef fishing trip is the uncomplicated introduction to fishing off Krabi. You fish rich reefs, according to the tour description less than 30 minutes from the pier, with bottom fishing and light jigging. Typical catches are grouper, snapper and mackerel, though nobody can guarantee a catch. Your stops are Koh Yawasam and the Koh Dam reef. The tour takes four hours, and the start time is flexible (morning or midday) so you can fit it into your holiday rhythm.

You do not need any fishing experience: the crew provides gear and instruction, and our guide shows you every move. Included are fishing rods, bait and guide, a swim stop to cool off, water, soft drinks and fruit and the hotel transfer in Ao Nang/Krabi. The boat is a white hardtop cabin boat with twin 300 hp engines, a bench seat and comfortable boat chairs for a maximum of five guests; the hardtop gives shade, and the rear cockpit offers room for fishing. The price is per boat, not per person. If you would rather have a meal from your catch, you find the Catch & Cook tour under the related tours.
