Maritimo Tuna Fishing 

4.8/5 (10 reviews)
 5 Lapadska obala, Dubrovnik, 20000, Croatia

Exclusive “one time” experience to explore the perfectly clear Adriatic Sea, discover the best fishing spots and learn local fishing techniques crafted through the centuries. 🎣🌊 This is the #1 activity that locals in Dubrovnik practice when they escape from daily routine.

The show is happening on 31" Beneteau Antares 9.25 Limited boat that can fit a maximum of 6 anglers. Newly restored in 2025, the vessel comes powered by a 320 HP Nanni engine and can cruise at a top speed of 25 knots. 🚤⚡

Whether you're a beginner or experienced fisherman, you'll be able to test yourself in trolling, bottom fishing, light jigging, inchiku or spinning.

The boat is fully equipped for fishing, provides plenty of space and shade, outfitted with the latest navigational and fish-finding electronics, along with professional equipment. The boat is also equipped with a Minn Kota trolling/GPS anchoring motor. 🛥️📡 Plus, it features a toilet (a much-needed thing when spending the day on the water 🚻) and free Wi-Fi. With its comfort and luxury furnishings, the boat offers an unforgettable experience on the open sea.

If the guide shouts out "Tuuunnnaaa", be ready to tackle one of the Adriatic's greatest predators! 🐟🔥 Our greatest joy is fishing for bluefin tuna, the star of sport fishing, which can weigh up to 340 kg in the Adriatic Sea. Since tuna and swordfish are strictly protected by law in Croatia, we practice a catch & release policy. True connoisseurs also enjoy fishing for little tunny, bonito, and many more.

Your trip will include all necessary fishing licenses for the day. You'll also find snacks and water on the boat for your convenience. 🥨💧 Of course, you're also welcome to bring your own beverages and food.

Up for a family trip? 👨👩👧👦 This is a children-friendly business, so bring your loved ones to share these unforgettable memories. However, do keep in mind that you'll be staying on the water for several hours, so make sure your young ones can handle it.

Maroje was a great captain. He knew what he was talking about when it came to fishing. We went about 4 miles off the coast and caught the biggest fish I've ever seen. Maroje said it was around 180-200lbs. The 3 of us worked together to get that beast reeled in. I would definitely recommend this adventure.

From start to finish, this trip was faultless. Marjan, our skipper was super helpful in every aspect of the day. Boat was super comfortable and equipment was top quality. Marjan's interest was infectious. We had a few beautiful catches, which made the day even more special. Catches were down to Marjan's expert skills. Cannot recommend this boat and skipper enough! A must do for any family or group of friends, when in Dubrovnik. Thank you Marjan.

We had a great day with captain Marjon. He is very skilled fisherman and can teach you a lot of about tuna and other big game fishing. We first did some baitfishing and then moved to bigger fish. The highlight of the day was a huge (estimated over 100kg+) blue fin tuna which we did not manage to get up. The fight took 11 minutes and because of bad luck and one other fishing boat we lost the fish. Still, we had three guys reeling or tried to reel in the powerful tuna. Just what we were after. Marjon took good care of us with snacks and drinks. Highly recommended.

Ever since I was born, my family has been passionate about the sea and fishing. As I grew up, fishing was a daily activity that followed me. I practice local fishing techniques crafted through the centuries around Dubrovnik, including bottom fishing, trolling, and light jigging. In recent years, the popularity of spinning around Dalmatia got my attention too.
