What Types of Fishing Trips Does Gamefishing Asia Offer in the Andaman Islands?

Updated

Gamefishing Asia offers two main trip formats in the Andaman Islands: Solo Angler Fishing Trips and Private Charters. Both are built around popping and jigging for Giant Trevally (GT) and Dogtooth Tuna, and both operate on a catch-and-release basis. The right choice depends on whether you are travelling alone and want to join a scheduled trip, or you have your own group and want the boat to yourselves.

Solo Angler Fishing Trips

This is the option for a single angler who does not want to organise a full private charter. The site lists Solo Angler Fishing Trips for Season 2026–27, which means you book onto a set trip rather than building one from scratch.

Choose this if:

  • You are travelling alone and want to fish without assembling a group.
  • You are flexible enough to fit an existing season schedule.
  • You want the popping and jigging programme without the coordination work of a private booking.

The trade-off is that your dates are tied to what is scheduled, so check the season listing before planning flights.

Private Charters

A Private Charter gives your group exclusive use of the boat and lets you set the trip around your own group. This suits friends, families, or anglers who want to target GT and Dogtooth Tuna on their own terms.

Choose this if:

  • You have a group and want the boat to yourselves.
  • You have specific dates that do not match the solo schedule.
  • You want a custom trip rather than joining a fixed departure.

What both trip types have in common

  • Location: Andaman Islands.
  • Target species: Giant Trevally (GT) and Dogtooth Tuna.
  • Techniques: Popping and jigging.
  • Policy: Catch and release.

How to decide and book

  1. Decide whether you are fishing alone or with a group.
  2. If alone, look at the Solo Angler Fishing Trips for Season 2026–27 and pick a scheduled date.
  3. If with a group, enquire about a Private Charter for your preferred dates.
  4. Check the practical pages before committing: Payment Information, Gear & What To Bring, Visa & Travel, and Medical & Insurance.
  5. Contact the team directly to confirm availability: +91 7063955070 / +91 9900 568091 or [email protected].

Common sticking points

  • Dates first, then flights. Solo trips run to a season schedule, so confirm your trip date before booking travel.
  • Gear matters. Popping and jigging for GT and Dogtooth Tuna needs heavy tackle; check the Gear & What To Bring page rather than assuming standard gear is provided.
  • Insurance and medical prep. The site separates Medical & Insurance and Visa & Travel into their own pages, so treat these as steps to complete, not afterthoughts.
  • Payment terms. Review the Payment Information and Terms & Conditions pages before paying, since booking and payment status are tracked through an account on the site.
