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!

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.
