Cres Sport & Fishing is located in Porozina and offers to provide you with an amazing experience in Kvarner Bay. Using a small and fast boat, you'll fish around Kvarner bay and have a high chance of making a great catch. Apart from fish, you'll see professional fishermen catching sardines and dolphins. It's possible to fight fish with a belt-on, raw fishing experience. You and Captain Ivan can discuss the meeting point to be arranged over Istria's coast, with Brestova being the nearest place next to Porozina.

Captain Ivan will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 6 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for seasonal fish, Tuna, Mackerel, Bluefish, and bottom fish, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, popping, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 18 Marino 560 Open saltwater fishing boat that can safely take up to 3 anglers, including kids. This boat comes with an ice-box and wireless trolling motor.

All rods, reels, terminal tackle, and bait are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day. The boat will be supplied with snacks and drinks for your pleasure, so be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.

    Big Game (Tuna) Fishing on September 11, 2022 • 2 adults

    We went after tuna and had a great day with Ivan. He is a very nice guy and speaks great English. All tough we didn’t catch anything he wanted the fish more then we did ;) and tried the best he could. His boat has everything you want and the price is unbeatable. All in all a very nice and passionate guy with awesome knowledge and skill. We will come back and catch a tuna. Thank you Ivan for the experience 👍

    8 hours Tuna and mackerel Fishing trip

    Big Game (Tuna) Fishing on June 21, 2022 • 2 adults

    We had an amazing trip with our skipper Toni. Absolutely top service! First we tried to catch tunas next to some sardines fishing boats. Toni explained the technique to us and tried very hard to do a nice catch. It was a great experience! After that we went to a nice spot and catched many many mackerels. It was very fun! 100% recommendation!

    Big Game (Tuna) Fishing on June 18, 2022 • 2 adults

    We had a great fishing trip with Captain Ivan! We didn’t have any luck fishing for tuna, but we had a ton of luck catching mackerel. In fact we caught over 25kg of it. The weather and landscape were absolutely gorgeous. Captain Ivan did a great job teaching a new angler how to fish. I would highly recommend this charter with Capt Ivan.

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience on my fishing trip with Captain Ivan! From start to finish, everything was top. Captain Ivan’s expertise and enthusiasm made the entire day feel effortless. We had incredible luck and ended up reeling in some stunning tuna! It was such a thrill to feel the excitement of the catch, and Captain Ivan was there every step of the way, guiding us and ensuring everything went smoothly. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the vibe was relaxed yet professional. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing adventure, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Ivan.

    Big Tuna!

    Big Game (Tuna) Fishing on July 26, 2022 • 2 adults

    Ivan and Toni (our captains), brought us to the richest fishing grounds of the adriatic sea in Istria. After only 10minutes of fishing we had our first bite and it was a huge tuna of more than 50kg!! After a long and heavy fight we finally got the fish in and released it safely into the sea for someone else to experience the same joy as us! They also provided us with food and drinks. After we had enough of the heavy fight the captain brought us to a snorkeling area to cool down and enjoy the lovely weather and surroundings! I recommend this fishing charter to everyone who wants to catch a dream fish like we caught!! The best crew ever!

Real catches by this captain

    Afternoon live bait trolling for Dentex. I used squid as a bait. Depth between 18 an 25 meters.

    In 08 June, early in the morning, I caught a beautiful dentex while live bait trolling. The bait was a squid, which proved irresistible to the fish. After a strong fight, I successfully landed the dentex, making it a memorable start to the day on the water.
