Pattaya Night Squid Fishing

Pattaya Night Squid Fishing – Private Big Boat from Bali Hai Pier

DurationApprox. 5 hours (evening)
Starting PointYour hotel in Pattaya → Bali Hai Pier
Tour TypePrivate boat charter (your group only)
Group SizeUp to 6 or up to 10 passengers

Trade the noise of Walking Street for a quiet night on the water. After dark your private boat leaves Bali Hai Pier and anchors out in Pattaya Bay, where powerful lamps are switched on above the water. The light draws squid up from the depths, and within minutes the first hand lines start moving. It is calm, unhurried and completely different from a daytime island trip.

Squid fishing needs no experience at all – drop your line, feel the tug, and pull. Anything you land is taken straight to the back of the boat and grilled by the crew, so you eat your catch minutes after it comes out of the sea. With a cool sea breeze, the lights of Pattaya glittering on the shoreline and the boat rocking gently, this is one of the most relaxed evenings you can spend on the Gulf of Thailand.

📅 Detailed Itinerary

07:00 PM
Pick-up from your hotel in Pattaya and transfer to Bali Hai Pier, South Pattaya.
07:45 PM
Board your private big boat and cruise out into Pattaya Bay. The crew sets up the lamps and hand lines, then squid fishing begins. Whatever you catch, the staff will grill on board for you to enjoy fresh – served with seafood sauce and wasabi. Fruit and drinking water are available throughout the trip.
12:00 Midnight
Return to Bali Hai Pier, where your driver is waiting to take you back to your hotel in Pattaya.
Squid are wild – the catch depends on the season, moon and weather. On a slow night you may catch very little, so please treat the grilled squid as a bonus rather than a guaranteed dinner.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need fishing experience?

No. Squid fishing here uses a simple hand line. The crew shows you what to do in a couple of minutes, and children can join in easily.

Is dinner included?

A full dinner is not included. The crew grills the squid you catch and serves fruit and drinking water, so please eat before pick-up if you want a proper meal.

Is this a private trip?

Yes. The whole boat is reserved for your group only, so the price is charged per boat rather than per person.

Can we bring our own drinks?

Yes, you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks on board. Please carry your rubbish back with you and keep the sea clean.

What happens if the weather is bad?

For safety, the captain may cancel or postpone the trip in rough seas or storms. In that case we offer an alternative date or a full refund.

Where do you pick us up?

From your hotel lobby in North, Central or South Pattaya, free of charge. Hotels outside these areas may be subject to an extra transfer charge.

ℹ️ Important Information

Children & Group Size

The price is per boat, so children are counted within the maximum number of passengers (6 or 10). Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times and must wear a life jacket on board. Please tell us the ages of any children when booking so the crew can prepare suitable equipment.

What to Bring

Light jacket or long sleeves for the sea breeze • Camera • Cap or hat • Non-slip / flat shoes or sandals • Insect repellent • Cash for personal expenses • Motion-sickness tablets if you are prone to seasickness.

Booking, Payment & No-Show

Send the booking form on this page and we will check availability and confirm your hotel. If everything is fine, we email you a secure payment link. The tour is only booked once payment is completed and a confirmation voucher is emailed to you. Payment links expire 8 hours after they are sent, as tours sell out quickly in high season. If you do not have a hotel yet, write TBC in the hotel field and we will keep your file open. Bookings should be made at least one day before the tour date, up to 8:30 PM office hours. No-show without notice is non-refundable.

Cancellation Policy

Cancel at least 24 hours before the tour start time for a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time, or failure to appear at the pick-up point, are not refundable.

Transfer Area & Extra Charge

Free hotel transfer for North Pattaya, Central Pattaya and South Pattaya. Hotels in Jomtien, Na Jomtien, Bang Saray, Sattahip or other out-of-route areas may incur an additional transfer charge – please ask us before booking.

General Terms & Conditions

All times shown are estimates only and may change due to traffic, sea and weather conditions, or any other unforeseen circumstances. The captain has final authority on safety matters and may adjust or shorten the route. Alcohol is not permitted for anyone handling fishing equipment, and passengers must follow the crew's safety instructions at all times.
