The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness remedies
The speedboat crossing and open-water jigging can be choppy—take antiemetics or acupressure bands beforehand if you’re prone to seasickness.
Protect against sun and salt
Use reef-safe sunscreen, a brimmed hat, and UV layers—the reflected sun on the water intensifies exposure all day.
Non-slip shoes matter
Choose closed, non-slip footwear for secure footing on a wet deck and when boarding and disembarking at piers.
Listen to local rules
All fishing is conducted outside national park no-take zones—follow the crew’s guidance on where to fish and whether to keep or release catch.

Operators avoid national-park no-take zones and supply guidelines on responsible handling; follow catch-and-release advice and use reef-safe products to minimize impact.
Local coastal communities have fished the Andaman Sea for generations; the region’s limestone karst was formed by ancient coral reefs uplifted and sculpted by erosion.
