Fishing charter — Nha Trang
1 option for fishing charter in Nha Trang — real operator prices, routes and guest reviews, all in one place.
Fishing here is a night out for squid, and it costs 350,000 VND (about $13) per person, all in — the operator writes «350.000đ/1 người (Trọn gói)», down from a crossed-out 550,000 VND (about $21).
The short version
Dream Hills Travel takes you into Cam Ranh bay, south of Nha Trang, with the boat, a life jacket and the necessary tackle provided, someone to show you how to jig for squid, and a spirit stove with instant noodles so you can cook what you catch on board.
Three things sit outside the package: VAT if an invoice is issued, transport to the boat, and any extra costs on the night.

FAQ
Is the price per person?
What is provided on board?
Do I need experience?
Where does the boat leave from?
Is there a season for this?
This is a local night trip rather than a sport-fishing charter, and the package says so. What you pay for is the boat, the life jacket, the tackle and someone patient enough to teach a first-timer how to jig.
Do you need any fishing experience?
None. Squid jigging is a technique you can learn in an evening — you drop the lure, work it with short lifts and wait for the weight to change — which is exactly why the trip is sold this way here, to people who have never held a rod.
What happens to what you catch?
The catch is meant to be eaten on the spot: the operator supplies a spirit stove and instant noodles, so what comes over the side goes into the pot. Nobody promises a catch, and a night on the water is a night on the water either way — treat the noodles as the plan and the squid as the hope.
What will you pay for on top?
- Transport to the boat, which is explicitly not included: the departure point is on Cam Ranh bay, well south of Nha Trang — Đường Hùng Vương, Hòa Phước, Bắc Cam Ranh.
- VAT, charged if you need an invoice.
- Anything else you spend on the night, from drinks to a taxi back.
Important
ask at the moment you book what happens to your booking if the bay turns out to be too rough that night.
