My three kids, husband and I had a great time on our trip! Fishing isn't really my type of thing but it was so fun to see my kids enojying it along with my hubby. I had the chance to relax on the boat and get that tan I've been longing for while the rest of the family was excited catching fish! I think they ended of catching 5-8 fishes, a few big ones and some smaller ones.
Staff on the boat were nice and friendly. Food was also delicous. Stir fried rice, tom yam and fried fish which apparently one of my boys caught was served.
Asking my hubby and kids they would definitely go on this fishing trip again!

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.

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!
