Fishing boat in calm water off Phu Quoc

Fishing in Phu Quoc

Small fish, deep-sea, or squid after dark. Three real fishing options, each with a local boat plan that fits a different kind of day.

Phu Quoc has good fishing year-round, but each trip type fits a different kind of guest. Below are the three options I run myself. Pricing depends on group size and pickup point, so I send today's number on WhatsApp once you tell me your dates and where you're staying.

Reef & shoreline

Small fish & beach picnic

Duration Half-day, morning
Best for Families, couples, first-time fishing
Pricing Quoted on WhatsApp

An easy fishing trip on the east side of Phu Quoc, in a local area that most tourists do not know. Simple equipment, local boat, and a beach picnic with grilled BBQ. A good fit if you want something relaxed and more local than a normal tourist boat day.

Included

  • Local boat
  • Basic fishing rods, lines and bait
  • Snorkel set on calm days
  • BBQ beach picnic with what you catch + extra food
  • Bottled water and fruit
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off (south Phu Quoc)

Up to about 4 guests on a private boat. Larger groups arranged on request.

Deep-sea

Big fish offshore deep-sea

Duration Full day
Best for Confident fishers, private boat groups
Pricing Quoted on WhatsApp

A longer private boat trip for guests who want a real chance at bigger fish. The day depends on weather and sea state, and Vu only runs deep-sea when conditions are safe. Catch is yours, and we can arrange to cook it right on the boat.

Included

  • Larger fishing boat with experienced captain
  • Heavier rods, reels and bait suited for deep-sea
  • Drinks and a simple lunch onboard
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off
  • Cook-your-catch arranged onboard on request

Departure usually early morning. Best between November and March when seas are calm.

Sunset & night

Squid fishing evening

Duration About 3 hours, around 5 to 6PM until 8 to 9PM
Best for Couples, friends, groups who want a different evening
Pricing Quoted on WhatsApp

A relaxed evening trip. We head out before sunset, anchor over a known squid spot once it gets dark, and fish under boat lights. Cook onboard and eat with the lights of Phu Quoc on the horizon. That is the part most guests remember.

Included

  • Boat with squid lights
  • Squid jigs, simple rods and bait
  • Squid porridge cooked onboard with what you catch
  • Stir-fried squid and noodles
  • Seasonal fruits and drinks (water, soft drinks)
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off (south Phu Quoc)

Runs most evenings in fair weather. Bring a light jacket because it gets breezy after dark.
