The Experience

Before You Go

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

The sun is strong and you’ll be on open water; choose reef-safe SPF to protect your skin and marine life.

Prep for seasickness

If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding and sit mid-ship where motion is minimized.

Hydrate and snack

Although drinks are supplied, bring a personal water bottle and salty snacks if you’re prone to hunger or dehydration.

Protect your catch

Bring a small cooler or use the boat’s icebox to keep any fish you keep fresh for the trip home.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Early‑morning shoal near nearby islets where juvenile trevally hunt baitfish
  • A sheltered cove used for a relaxed midday swim away from main routes

Wildlife

  • Sea turtle

Conservation Note

Use reef‑safe sun care, avoid anchoring on coral, and follow crew guidance to minimize impact on reefs and fish stocks.

Small‑boat fishing has long supported Koh Samui’s communities; modern day trips blend that working knowledge with hospitality for visitors.
