Nhà Trên Biển - Joy Adventures - Restaurant & Boat to Starfish Beach

Nhà Trên Biển is a floating seafood restaurant at Rạch Vẹm, set on the water a short distance from the northern shore of Phú Quốc. A wooden bridge leads out to the restaurant, where tables sit above the sea and hammocks provide an easy place to pause between meals or boat trips.

The menu focuses on seafood sourced from local fishermen and the restaurant’s own fish farm. Dishes are prepared in a family-style kitchen, with the catch cooked to order and served at fixed prices rather than negotiated rates. The setting suits a relaxed daytime meal, with the water beneath the floor and open views across the coastal landscape.

Starfish Beach is part of the restaurant’s appeal. A dedicated speedboat makes the short crossing from the floating restaurant, allowing visitors to spend time at the beach before returning for lunch or an afternoon meal. The arrangement is flexible rather than a scheduled group tour, so a boat outing can be combined with a meal at a comfortable pace. A wristband with the restaurant’s contact number helps arrange the return journey.

For visitors wanting more than a meal, the fishing village combination brings together the boat trip, a selection of seafood, a drink and activities around the floating house. Fishing and water activities can be added when conditions allow. The restaurant also arranges longer private fishing outings for groups seeking time on the water with local fishermen.

The atmosphere is informal and family-friendly, with the floating setting providing a memorable alternative to a conventional shore-side restaurant. Couples can combine the meal with a coastal boat ride, while families may appreciate the flexible timing and the option to return from Starfish Beach when ready. Clearer water generally makes the sea activities more suitable, while wet weather can affect visibility and boat plans.

Nhà Trên Biển works particularly well for visitors exploring Rạch Vẹm who want local seafood, a meal above the sea and an easy connection to Starfish Beach in one outing. Walk-ins are accepted, although advance contact is useful for arranging boats, larger plans or dietary requests.
