Testimonials
"I am a total newbie to the fishing scene and going onboard the Fishiotherapy with the chaps from Saltheads was a truly amazing experience. I honestly know absolutely nothing about fishing and they patiently guided me in the dos and don’ts of fishing and safety onboard the boat. They provided all the gear, even help bait my hook and advised me on how to land the fish onboard. Even got cooking tips! They somehow knew the best spots to get the fish and we landed a quite a few nice sized ones. The tranquil lunch break on Pulau Hantu was amazing too.

"Accommodating and hardworking captain who’s especially patient with new anglers. He tries hard to give his charges the best chance of landing fish, which to me makes a huge difference. Nice vessel with ample fishing and seating space."
