About this tour

🌊 Destination Overview – Phu Yen, Vietnam

Located less than 100 km from Nha Trang, with an estimated driving time of around 2 hours, Phu Yen is renowned for its exceptional offshore fishing potential and is often described as Vietnam’s “Kingdom of Giant Ocean Fish.”

With more than 200 km of coastline, dramatic mountain landscapes, and a relatively untouched natural environment, Phu Yen offers a very different experience from Vietnam’s more developed coastal destinations.

The region has preserved much of its traditional fishing culture, while its deep offshore waters and nutrient-rich marine environment create favorable conditions for targeting powerful ocean species.

For serious anglers, Phu Yen provides an opportunity to experience authentic deep-sea fishing in natural offshore waters, with the potential to encounter some of the largest fish found along Vietnam’s central coast.


🐟 Target Fish Species

Depending on the season, fishing grounds, weather, currents and fish activity, anglers may have opportunities to target a wide range of offshore and reef species, including:

🎣 Great Barracuda
🎣 Cero Mackerel
🎣 Cobia
🎣 Mahi Mahi (Dolphinfish)
🎣 Black Grouper
🎣 Indian Threadfish
🎣 Permit
🎣 Queenfish
🎣 Blacktip Shark
🎣 Spanish Mackerel
🎣 Golden Trevally
🎣 Bluefin Tuna
🎣 King Mackerel (Kingfish)
