Sparus Boats will take you out on a trip of a lifetime exploring the Dalmatian coast out of Split. Captain Dario is an experienced angler who will take you to the best fishing grounds in no time. You’ll be in very good hands, so your trip to the Adriatic Sea is bound to be productive!
Enjoy the area on his brand-new Marlin 27 feet ribboat. It can accommodate up to 4 anglers, so bring your friends and have a nice day on the water. Capt. Dario brings a go pro camera on every trip, so you can make some lasting memories. There’s also a bimini for shade, a fridge, and a shower on board for your convenience.
Capt. Dario will provide you with all the equipment you need, including top-notch Okuma and Shimano rods and reels. You’ll be primarily fishing closer to shore and around the nearby islands. Live bait will be prepared in advance, so you can get straight on the fish! For some more adrenaline, take a peek underwater using the snorkeling equipment on board.
Expect to explore the beautiful Croatian waters targeting a variety of fish that call this area home. You’ll reel in creatures like Bonito, Dentex, Seabream, Common Pandora, John Dory, Mackerel, Seabass, and Bluefish. Capt. Dario will be happy to clean and fillet your catch, so you can take it straight to the table!
You’ll find snacks, soda, and beer on the boat, so you’ll be able to relax, refresh, and fully enjoy your day. All you need to bring is a hat, sunglasses, and some sun protection, and everything else is up to your captain.
Come enjoy the rich Adriatic waters on the Dalmatian coast, and have a fishing adventure you’ll remember!

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!

Fishing trip started out well, Darius was really nice and did his best to help us catch fish. Our captain was knowledgeable in techniques and fishing spots around the Adriatic sea. We caught fish and had a great time. I would recommend Sparus Boats for an awesome fishing experience. All in all we had a great fishing guide in Croatia.

This experience was the most memorable of our two week trip. Josip was a phenomenal skipper and just a great person overall. My wife and I enjoyed talking to him and it honestly felt like going on a boat with a good friend. He took us to multiple spots and we both caught plenty of fish. I even had a Tuna on the line that surfaced and jumped! After fishing, he took us to a beautiful small town on one of the islands for a drink. Could not recommend Josip and Sparus Boats more!
