Big Game Croatia – Barracuda

Join Big Game Croatia for a day of world-class sportfishing in the deep waters off Vodice. Head out to the Kornati Islands to do battle with monster Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, and so much more.

Captain Zoran Srdarev has been working these waters for decades. He dominates the local tournament scene and he’s brought in some incredible catches over the years. If you’re looking for the biggest fish around, this is the guy to turn to.

Capt. Zoran runs his trips aboard the “Barracuda,” a 42’ Stryker sportfishing boat. This luxurious vessel was built back in the ‘60s but she’s been regularly maintained and still turns heads every time she leaves the marina. The boat is powered by twin Fiat engines kicking out over 1,200 HP between them. She’s no slow coach, that’s for sure!

The boat is equipped with GPS and fishfinder to sound out the waters and pinpoint Capt. Zoran’s top fishing spots. She has a fighting chair to take the strain of monster Bluefin Tuna and quality heavy tackle to give you the best chance against the area’s apex predators.

The Barracuda is also a comfortable place to spend the day. She has plenty of space to escape the sun and an enclosed toilet for extra comfort on long trips offshore. She even has a cabin to lie down if the sea air makes you sleepy.

All Big Game Croatia trips come with everything you need to bring in some sea monsters. That includes fishing licenses for everyone onboard. You’ll be given snacks and drinks to keep your energy up, so just pack some lunch and any personal items and get ready for a day of screaming drag!
