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 days full of fishing. He specializes in jigging, big game, bottom fishing, trolling 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 brand new speedy 33ft Camaro 1000 boat that can comfortably take up to 4 anglers to some of our best offshore fishing spots. This boat features a toilet, fridge, ice box, Simrad 12" fishfinder & radar and Minn Kota wireless trolling motor.

You will use only the finest fishing gear. 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.
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.

3 Hour–Sunset Squid & Light Fishing on June 19, 2025

We had the distinct pleasure of spending an unforgettable evening on the water with our remarkable host, Ante. His newly constructed boat is a vision—sleek, thoughtfully designed, and clearly built with passion and precision. From the moment we cast our rods into the shimmering sea, the thrill of the catch took over. Each tug on the line brought a jolt of excitement, and Ante guided us with calm expertise and infectious enthusiasm. His deep knowledge of fishing—and equally gracious hospitality—made the experience not only seamless but deeply memorable. The evening concluded with a flourish: exquisitely prepared horse mackerel, ikejime-style, and delicate cuttlefish carpaccio that tasted as fresh as the ocean breeze. We would award him more than five stars if we could—because this was more than just a fishing trip; it was an experience to treasure.

Special 8 hour trip for Maxi Ko on June 13, 2025

Me and my friends wanted to go fishing and spontaneously decided to book a guide. The whole process before booking was quick and easy. Our Captian was a very lovely person. He was polite, funny just a very nice person. We asked if it was possible to get picked up at Milna and it was no problem. It helped us alot. For fishing: We had a great time and it was the perfect fishing experience. The luck was not on our side that day, but our captian brought us to the best places and we still managed to get some red-snappers, around 7-8 Kg. We got told when and where and which seasons different fishes are catchable. On board were enough rods for all of us, all kinds of drinks and snacks and pastries. Thanks again for the great time :)

3 Hour–Sunset Squid & Light Fishing on June 7, 2025

An awesome trip! We are 3 adults who went on the sunset squid trip in early June. Captain Ante is friendly and knowledgeable. He provided 3 rods so we all were able to fish at the same time. Very nice boat with plenty of space, and a really cool fish box with a window in the transom, so we could watch our catch swim around. Saw some dolphins! Which did mean they were eating everything, so we weren’t catching too much, but was neat to see them. The water started boiling with bonito so we switched over real quick to try to catch some — I’m not great at casting far, but Ante readily helped cast out my line, which was definitely appreciated. We had a beautiful sunset out on the water, a warm night, still water, and a bright moon. And we all caught squid! A great experience and we’re all very happy we went.

April&May Bluefin tuna Spinning on June 5, 2025

Ante was amazing, a true fisherman with years of experience and knowledge of the waters and how to find the fish. He knew which species of fish to target, when to target them and where. We caught fish on our first cast! Above all else Ante was a true gentleman, catered the fishing experience to us personally and made sure my kids caught some huge fish. I couldn’t recommend Ante highly enough. Thank you Ante, hope to see you again soon in the future!

April&May Bluefin tuna Spinning on May 12, 2025

We were visiting Croatia for a week and I decided to take my dad fishing for an 8 hours excursion. We decided to go with Ante since his boat size would accommodate us nice and we wanted more of a private trip. We signed up for Blue Fin Tuna fishing and though we saw a bunch and got close several times, ended up empty handed at the end of the day. Ante did everything he could to try and get us a fish on the line, but it was just one of those days. Overall, super grateful of the experience and we had a great time with Ante.
