No fishing equipment
No smorkeling equipment provided
Rude staff
Cold food served
Avoid this tourist trap.
Dear Mr. Omar M,
Thank you for your feedback. I on behalf of Sommai Fishing Tour apologize that we did not reach your expectations. We take your comment very seriously therefore I have sat down with the staff that were on the boat of your Join On Day fishing trip to try to get a better understanding on what happened according to our crew.
On all our Join On Day fishing tours we offer Trolling and Bottom Fishing along with equipment to use them. According to your agency's email they sent us: "No 'fishing equipment' - just spool of fishing line with a hook. No fishing rod". Kindly know that we do not offer fishing rod (spinning) on any of our Join On Day trips which we also informed your agency prior to your trip.
Regarding the issue being that no snorkeling equipment was provided onboard. According to our staff members snorkeling equipment was available and enough for anyone who wanted to use. There might have been a lack of communication on our side. Our staff did say however that you chose to take only one diving mask for your entire group.
We are sorry that you found the food to be cold. This should not have happened as we fry both the chicken drumstick and fish on board as soon as we reach Racha Yai Island for a lunch break. A small comment to our staff members and they'd be happy to re-heat it for you.
Please note that an email regarding this matter was sent to your agency as we do not have your email address. If you have any questions or additional comments, please do not hesitate to send us an email to the address below.
Sincerely,
The SommaiFishingTour Team

We rented the boat from 9-5 .Weather started out sunny but started raining on the way out. That didn't stop us from catching some tunas. It cleared by noon and the rest of the day was fantastic!
I believe we got the S5 boat and had ample room for family of 5.
The crew setup everything but the kids got to reel in the fishes and that was the highlight of the trip. The joy on their faces seeing the fishes on the hocks as they reeled them in. Crew spoke limited English but that was an issue. It stopped raining by the time we got to Ban Raya. We got to snorkel and swim with the fishes. No feeding allowed!
We had mackerel that we caught for lunch.
Lots of water and sodas provided. Lunch menu was fried chicken, fried mackerel ,tom yam mackerel , fried rice and for dessert fresh pineapple and water melon.
The kids caught 12 fishes, enjoyed swimming and snorkeling. Mommy enjoyed the sun and quiet nap.
Would recommend as a must do activity for families.
Dear Diana A,
Thank you for your kind review! We are happy to have had you and your family onboard and to hear that you had a wonderful time on your trip.
We hope to see you again soon.

Had a fun time on the fishing trip. Caught a few fishes but was hoping for sailfish, didn't get any. Maybe next time I get some.

My overall experince with them was pretty good. The crew were nice and helpful though they didn't speak much English. I also caught a few big tunas which was very exciting!
Dear nattycasey111,
Thank you for your review. We are happy that your fishing experience was good with us. We apologize regarding the crew's English skills and hope that it in the nearest future will have been improved.

I read some of the reviews and was surprised how bad they were. I've been on their boat trips two times and had a great time on both of them. First time was with my boyfriend and the second time was with a friend.
Sure, it's not the biggest boat you get on but luckily there were only a total of about 9 people on board, including the staff and it didn't feel too crowded that time.
I got sea sick the first time and one of the guys working there allowed me to rest and sleep on a mattress inside the boat until I got better.
The food was also nice, nothing fancy but I didn't really expect it to be. Fried rice, chicken and some fish the others caught.
I got to the pier myself without any pick-up so I can't really speak for anyone wanting pick ups from the hotel.
Anyways, both of those trips were great! Maybe because I was surrounded by fun people. :)
Dear WinnieDao,
Thank you for your great feedback! We are happy that you were satisfied with our services offered on board and hope to the see you for a third time on one of our fishing trips!

Complete waste of money, if it wasn't for everyone else on board sleeping my son would have reeled in one fish. Other than the rods hung out back trawling, we never touched a rod.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your feedback - it's crucial and necessary in order for us to improve services we offer our customers.
I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the negative experiences that you had on board with the crew not being as alert as they should've been.
Would you care to share what type of trip you booked and also the exact date of your trip? I will inform the crew at Sommai Fishing Tour to make sure changes and improvements will be made instantly.
I would like to thank you again for bringing this issue to our attention.
Sincerely,
The SommaiFishingTour Team
