Spend the day with Navigo Libertas and find out what the fishing in Pula is all about!
Around here the fishing is popular for Common Pandora, Dentex, Gilt-head (Seabream), John Dory, Rockfish, Scorpionfish, Sheepshead, and more with any luck. On these trips, it’s common to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there’s spearfishing.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? 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. Don’t forget to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
You’ll be casting lines from a 22’ Omnia Nautica walkaround that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.
The charter boat covers your fishing license (not included in price) , so all you have to do is
show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the captain.
A few items to bring include sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.
NOTE: Cleaning fee is NOT included in price ,and will be charged 25€ after trip.
Payment is cash only option.

Half Day Trip (PM) on August 20, 2024
We booked an evening half-day charter on August 19 with Captain Kristijan, starting at 5:30 PM. Getting to the marina was a quick Uber ride from near the arena in downtown Pula, near the Arena. Kristijan was extraordinarily hospitable, providing us with a variety of beverages and a charcuterie plate that featured sausages he'd made himself--excellent! We explored several spots around the bay, with varying success, catching a small number of fish, mostly Pandoras. The weather was beautiful; while the water had cooled off over the previous week, it was still quite warm, sending the fish relatively deep. We were mostly fishing just off the bottom, in 30 meter-plus water. While we had limited success, we did catch a few fish each and enjoyed the overall experience. Kristijan was a great captain and a most welcoming host.

Kristjan was very nice guy and boat and gear was well prepared, we did not catch much fish, but at least some, enjoyed the trip and did also some snorkeling around shipwreck and a great view of sunset! Bonus was to see tunas chasing prey up close by the boat!

The captain and assistant are very sociable, they told and showed all the intricacies of sea fishing. Often when the hook broke, they tied a new one. It is obvious that they are not going out to sea for the first time to fish. There was also cold beer and drinks. The captain prepared a snack. We did not catch very many fish. But we enjoyed both the fishing itself and the communication with the team. The captain also explained about tuna fishing. I recommend it to everyone.
