【Langkawi Fishing Trip Disappointment】5-Hour Offshore Adventure for 1600 RMB Falls Short

🌊 Friends, don’t be misled like we were! If you’re planning an offshore fishing trip in Langkawi, especially if you’re considering the 1600 RMB “5-hour offshore” package, proceed with extreme caution! We had high hopes for a professional and exhilarating offshore fishing experience, but it turned out to be a complete letdown.

The time was cut short, the equipment was subpar, and the fishing location was far from what was promised! What’s even more frustrating is that the vendor blamed everything on “bad luck” and “weather,” showing no professionalism and treating us like absolute novices.

🔴 Time was drastically cut short; we fished for less than 5 hours!
The vendor advertised a 5-hour offshore fishing adventure, but in reality, we didn’t get the full 5 hours of fishing. Even accounting for our 20-minute delay, the actual fishing time was significantly less. To add insult to injury, they included the time spent buying bait in the total fishing duration, truly squeezing every possible minute.

🛥️ The equipment was utterly unsuitable for offshore fishing!
They claimed to have a “professional offshore fishing boat,” but once we boarded, it was clear that the heavy-duty sea reels we expected were nowhere to be found. Instead, we were given ordinary 2000-reel nearshore fishing gear. When we raised concerns about the equipment, the vendor offered no reasonable explanation.

We paid for an “offshore” experience, but what we got was a boat completely ill-equipped for the task. This so-called “professional equipment” was a major disappointment.

🔵 The fishing location was also a letdown; we never went offshore!
We were promised an offshore experience, but the entire activity was almost entirely near the shore. The last spot, where we spent the most time, was just a few dozen meters from the mountain, nowhere near the true offshore area. The vendor kept insisting on our “bad luck” but refused to acknowledge that they did not take us to the real offshore area. Their completely irresponsible attitude was deeply disappointing.

🐟 Is the captain skilled? Then why did we only catch small fish?
Our entire fishing trip resulted in only tiny, palm-sized fish, and even the experienced captain himself seemed to catch nothing! When we questioned this, the vendor always blamed “bad luck” instead of explaining why the captain’s skills didn’t lead to better catches. If the captain was so skilled, why did he fail to catch anything himself?

💸 In summary:
The 1600 RMB 5-hour offshore fishing package is a complete rip-off! Not only was the time cut short, the equipment was substandard, and the fishing location was a major letdown. The vendor constantly used “bad luck” as an excuse, showing no responsibility at all. If you don’t want to be fooled and avoid being scammed like we were, think twice before booking! It’s clear that the middleman is making a hefty profit at your expense!

⚠️ A friendly reminder to all adventure seekers: When planning a fishing trip in Langkawi, exercise caution and choose wisely! Opt for a reputable provider that genuinely delivers on their promises. This will ensure you get the most out of your experience and avoid the frustration of wasted money and being treated like an inexperienced “novice.”
