There's a fish with your name on it in Kvarner Bay and Tira Fishing & Boat Charter will help you catch it!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Blue Marlin, Dentex, Gilt-head (Seabream), Atlantic Mackerel, Bonito, Black Bream, Common Pandora, European Seabass, Little Tunny (False Albacore), Scorpionfish, anything else that bites at the moment! On these trips, it's common to drift, bottom fish, and free-line fish.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board.

You'll be casting lines from a special fishing boat; a Arvor 250 Pilothouse that holds up to 5 passengers. It comes with all fishing equipment you need. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures and bait. Live bait is on offer to and will be used depending on the fishing technique.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate who is also very experienced in fishing and boating.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Have in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks included on board.

    Super Angelausflug

    Half day fishing (bottom&freeline) on July 30, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Der Angelausflug mit Renato hat uns super viel Spaß gemacht. Renato ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Er kennt das Gewässer sehr gut und weiß wie man die Fische anlockt. Am ersten Spot hatten wir um uns herum noch ca. 3 weitere Fischerboote. Wir hatten in 1,5 Std. ca 15 Makrelen geangelt. Bei den anderen Booten waren kaum Bisse zu sehen. Am zweiten Spot hat es genauso gebissen und wir hatten am Ende jede Menge Fisch für den Grill. Alles in einem hat es unserer ganzen Familie sehr viel Spaß gemacht.

    Very kind Captain and nice Boat.

    Half day tuna fishing on September 13, 2026 • 2 adults

    Our experience was unforgettable. Even we if we didn't have a Fish on. Renato is a very kind and cool Captain and takes time to explain you all around the boat and fishing. We didn't catch a big Fish but it was still more than worth the money and for our surprise, Captain Renato made us an apero, which was delicious. I fully recommend you guys to book a Trip with Renato.

    Awesome day out fishing

    Half day fishing (bottom&freeline) on September 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Thank you so much for the wonderful morning you gave us. Both we and our children had a great time, and it has definitely been the best part of our holiday so far. Thank you for your hospitality, you made us feel very welcome. During the first part of the fishing trip we weren't lucky enough to find large specimens, but in the second part there was no shortage of fun, nor of fish.

    It's nice when it turns out what you planned.

    Half day fishing (bottom&freeline) on July 7, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We arrived, and it was immediately clear where to go, as the captain noticed us and immediately offered help with our things. We boarded the ship with our children and grandmother without much effort. The ship is clean and everything is in its place. We arrived in comfort and with very good views. the captain did everything so that my children caught more than me :). Cold drinks. Sliced ​​cheese, ham for children, it was great. They didn’t even eat what they took with them. The fish turned out to be very smart and did not want to take what was on the hook. but together we managed. 7 pieces were caught. 2 times the fish broke the tackle while fishing. It was nice to stop in a beautiful place with warm water for swimming. The children jumped into the water and were delighted. I am very pleased with this tour. I'm in a good mood and want to write a review.

    Esperienza strepitosa! Consigliata! Da non perdere.

    Half day tuna fishing on July 24, 2025 • 2 adults

    È stata un'ottima esperienza grazie alla competenza, alla dedizione e alla simpatia del capitano Renato che ha permesso la riuscita della catturare di un bel tonno. Siamo andati tutta la famiglia e sarà un ricordo che porteremo con noi per sempre. Quando il mulinello inizia a fischiare è emozionante! Grazie Renato, se torneremo in Croazia, ci rivedrai sicuramente.

    Great Day on the Water

    Half day fishing (bottom&freeline) on May 20, 2025 • 1 adult

    Renato knows the waters and the fish around his home port of Bakarac. Had a great late spring fishing 1/2 day that produced a bounty of mackerel with an affable captain. We were on fish just 15 minutes after leaving the harbor. I’m certainly a new believer in Croatia and Croation fishing.

Ty Patrick it was very fun day definitely. I'm glad I made your vacation in Croatia a little more enjoyable and showed you some things you might not have seen yet. I'm glad you had a great time and if you come back again, you know where to find me 😉 Special greetings to boys!

As a sea lover, fishing, and my hometown Bakarac I have been fascinated by its Tuna observation posts and the stories they tell since I was a child. The love grew with me so I started researching and developing the idea of recreating Tuna fishing in the way it was done years ago and in 2015 I organized the first simulation of Tuna fishing the old-fashioned way. This event called 'Tira, Tira!' expanded in the following years and became recognized as one of the most significant summer events in the area. In 2018 it was recognized by the Association of Croatian Travel Agencies and the magazine 'Way to Croatia' and we received the award Simply the Best for the creativity of the event, which with its content enriches the tourist offer of the local community and nurtures customs. With the development of 'Tira' my desire for real fishing for big fish only grew stronger so for the last few years I have been competing with my team in Big Game competitions as a member of the BigOm club from Omišalj, Krk, and for the last couple of seasons I have been the holder of the national fishing quota for big fish. I live by the sea and with the sea so I set sail all year round, fishing according to season.
