Split Sportfishing invites you to check out the local fishery in style and be amazed by all the beauty and productivity these waters have to offer.

Capt. Ante will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and popping, all to get you on that bite. You can choose between a few different trips, mainly fishing for John Dory, Dentex, Scorpionfish, Amberjack, and bluefin Tuna, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Check out why this tour will be featured in a fishing show this year!

Your fishing adventure starts on a 22’ Hydrosport 646 RIB boat that can fast and comfortably take up to 3 anglers to some of our best fishing spots. This boat features an ice box, Simrad 12" fishfinder, and Minn Kota wireless trolling motor.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle 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.

Since beautiful, hidden bays and coves are just a ride away from our fishing spots, we seize the opportunity to relax, swim and grill at one. The best way to test our catch is to prepare fish out on the open fire by ourselves.

Full-day trips include a catch-of-the-day barbecue. On half-day trips, you can take the fish home and prepare it your way.

There will be complimentary drinks and snacks aboard for your convenience during the trip, but feel free to bring your own drinks or food if you prefer.

Children are welcome aboard so you’re good to get the young ones started early.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Split Sportfishing.

2 amazing days around Vis archipelago
2 amazing days around Vis archipelago
March 6, 2023
Sometimes winter in Croatia means having 22 degrees C and putting on sun protection. Exactly that happened, and we used 2 beautiful days to cast our hooks around Vis & Biševo island. This time we targeted John dory’s and red snappers using live baits and jigs. First day we focused on trolling with live squid and got few nice snappers, but unfortunately fish of the day straighten our hook. Happy but hungry, we got to Biševo where we had booked accommodation. We prepared a nice barbecue, enjoyed the sunset and tried few local vines. After good rest, next day we switched to jiging. Fish was very active in the morning and we got out 5 capital John Dory’s, and like sugar in the end, one big red snapper. During late afternoon the weather started changing so we decided it was time to go home. Tired but satisfied, we ended this trip with having some good fish in the coolbox and even better memories. Until next time, Ante
