Full Day fishing experience to Vis on May 28, 20261 adult

I booked the big tour for 1000€ alone and I had an incredible day. I learned a lot and experienced a lot. Everyone knows that there is not always fishing, even if there are desired fish, but we still caught well and I had the opportunity to drill fish that I have not seen in real life in my life 😍 The only disadvantage was that we unfortunately didn't have a big pliers because they were probably lost 😅 but we still managed. I can only thank you from the bottom of my heart and next time I will definitely be there !! Marin was my captain and fishing buddy the day just once again a very special thank you! You showed me places and that fishing on the sea was really great! Thank you I hope we will see each other again next year !! Marin thank you from my heart!!

Super leuke vistrip
5 Hour Trip (AM) on August 17, 20264 adults

Onze vistrip van 7.00 tot 12.00 uur was echt geweldig! 🎣 Vanaf het begin kregen we van Ivan een duidelijke uitleg over de trip en wat we konden verwachten. De schipper was enthousiast en wist ontzettend veel over vissen. Hij gebruikte verschillende soorten haken en aas, afhankelijk van de vissen die voorbij kwamen. We hebben uiteindelijk mahi-mahi, makreel1en een nog een soort waarvan we de naam vergetenzijn gevangen. 🐟🎣 Na het vissen was het heerlijk om nog even te zwemmen en af te koelen. Een superleuke en ontspannen ervaring voor het hele gezin. Zeker een aanrader!

BEST fishing experience EVER!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 4, 20263 adults

It started innocently enough and ended with over 20 fish caught! A well-planned trip. Ivan, our captain, was always there to help us, always smiling and welcoming. We caught mahi mahi.

Outstanding!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 20, 20252 adults

Our fishing trip with Sparus Boats was fabulous. Skipper Ivan was the best - very knowledgeable and experienced and a joy to spend the morning with. He has a deep love of nature and his country and shared a tremendous amount of history and information about Croatia as well as fishing. We caught 3 different types of fish and had so much fun. The boat was very nice and the equipment was top of the line. After our trip, Skipper Ivan told us where to find the best pizza in Trogir and gave us a dinner restaurant recommendation and even offered to make the reservation for us. Bonus - he picked us up in Trogir instead of Split saving us an hour taxi ride early in the morning and back in the afternoon. Highly recommend Sparus Boats and Skipper Ivan!

Hi, my name is Dario! It's hard for a foreigner to understand the bond the Croats have with the sea. My love for the sea, especially fishing, existed ever since I was a little kid. As I grew up, it made me explore further and I got to find many secret places, caves and pristine beaches. After my studies at Marine Fisheries, I got a job at Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries here in Split and that's when my dreams come true. The next big step was, of course, combining my experience and expertise to create a company for custom made tours and excursions. My goal is the individual approach and a tour with enchanted exclusivity for my guests of any taste and preference. An introduction to the marine environment and the various fish fauna while enjoying a scenic cruise to the beautiful Dalmatian islands would then sound like a perfect summer escape.
