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.

Ty Scott, it was great fishing day, we had a great time and the "more experienced" fisherman won. It was my pleasure to host you on my boat and I hope to see you again on a new fishing adventure 😎

Family fun at sea with plenty of fish
Half day fishing (bottom&freeline) on July 30, 20252 adults2 children

That was a lot of fun 🥳 not just for everyone, but especially for our boys; probably the highlight of the holiday for the kids. At first, there wasn't much happening out at sea, but then we came across a school of mackerel near the surface and things really took off – over 20 fish caught! 🎣 Always there to help with baiting, unhooking, cleaning the fish, and so much more: Captain Renato. 🙏 Thanks for a fantastic day on the water! Today we're grilling fish.🔥🐟🔥

Amazing experience! Highly recommended! Don't miss it!
Half day tuna fishing on July 24, 20252 adults

It was an excellent experience thanks to Captain Renato's expertise, dedication, and friendliness, which made it possible for us to successfully land a beautiful tuna. The whole family went and it will be a memory we'll carry with us forever. When the reel starts screaming, it's so exciting! Thank you Renato, if we come back to Croatia, you'll definitely see us again.

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.
