Everyone knows that Phuket offers some of the world's best beaches,
diving and nightlife. What you might not know is that Phuket also
offers world-class sportfishing and angling. Blue and black marlin,
sailfish, dog-tooth tuna, giant trevally, jacks and even swordfish
have been caught in Phuket and its surrounding waters, and the fishing
community's firm catch-and-release policy helps ensure that future
generations will have the opportunity to test themselves against
these magnificent animals. Phuket's charter companies know all the
best spots and will get where you want to be in comfort and style.

the Andaman Sea roam a multitude of blue water, pelagic species
like black marlin and sailfish, as well as king mackerel and tiger
sharks. (Read More...)
