THE BIG BLUES

FISHING ADVENTURES IN SE ASIA

Other available boats

 

For some of the destinations we offer The Big Blues partners with other local anglers. In this case the boats we use have always been carefully selected by us among the best in the region in accordance to our standards of safety, service and comfort on board.

 

A) Launched in late 2007, it is a strongly built 20 x 5 mt hardwood boat weighting some 40 tonnes with twin 320 HP diesels, large fuel and water tanks and attendant safety features. Her design criterion is that of being a leisurely long-range cruiser, with passenger comfort to the fore.

This is a perfect yacht for fishing and diving both for day as well as live aboard trips around Phuket.

This vessel offers sleeping accommodation and substantial space on both lower and upper decks for eating, sleeping or just lazing in the sun or shade.

The saloon has two separate dining areas, whilst the extensively shaded aft deck has further tabling for eating and drinking al fresco and from where all the fishing and swimming action can be shared. The large foredeck makes it ideal for sun bathing or as a fishing platform (i.e. for popping), whilst the upper bridge deck, has more covered outdoor seating and tabling.

The sleeping areas are generous; the fore cabin comprises a very large "v" sleeping platform comfortably taking two couples sharing. There are also two separate "queen size" single bunks for the larger adult adjacent to the fore cabin and a further two single bunks on the upper deck cabin, thus offering alternative sleeping accommodation for up to six passengers.

This vessel is suitable both for day and live aboard trips around Phuket in Thailand.

B) Launched in 2009, this boat is one of the finest examples in Phuket of local built sportfishing boat.

Up to twelve anglers will enjoy an unforgettable day aboard this motor yacht while six is the maximum number of guests allowed on live aboard trips.

Reliable and comfortable, this is an ideal charter boat not only for fishing but also for diving or islands cruising around Phuket.

The open fly-bridge with the pilot station and a U-shaped sitting area is always a very popular spot during the day.

The cockpit is very spacious and designed to meet every angler expectation while the large and elegant galley with plenty of sitting complements this spacious vessel.

This vessel is powered by a 400 HP Heno engine which allows a 14 knots max speed and a 8 knots cruising speed.

This boat with its crew has been the winner of the 2009 Phuket International Sportfishing Tournament.

This vessel is suitable both for day and live aboard trips around Phuket in Thailand.

The boat is clean, fast, safe, spacious, and has plenty of shade. It seats 5 comfortably excluding the guide & captain (official licensed seating capacity is 7 max in fact).

Unfortunately all the boats at Rompin are built without the "walkabout" convenience so you may have to pass the rod around. However, driving the boat forward will solve this problem without too much trouble.

This vessel is available only for day trips around Kuala Rompin in Malaysia.
