There are a few different options if you like to go out fishing around Koh Tao. You can either rent your own “long-tail” boat with a local captain that provides you with the equipment or you can go on an organized trip with other people.

Friends who actively fish around Koh Tao say that they sometimes get both Sail Fish and Marlins just off the coast of Koh Tao. The best time for fishing is said to be late afternoon at around 1700.

Another way to relax and fish is to buy some fishing gear from Aukotan (large retail store between Mae Haad and Chalok Ban Khao) and rent a kayak. It’s a nice relaxing way to spend an afternoon in the sun. Bring water and sunscreens!!!
