Make an adventure out of your next trip in Rovinj and go fishing with Violi Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Matej, bringing aboard years of professional experience.

Species like Amberjack, Needlefish, Gurnard, Dentex, Bonito, Scorpionfish, European Seabass, Squid, Bigeye Tuna, Bluefin Tuna, Gilt-head (Seabream), and more inhabit these waters, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's spearfishing.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your boat for the day is a 20' Beneteau Antares 600 HB sportfishing vessel for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is alowed, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    The experience was amazing

    3 Hour Trip - Bottom fishing on August 24, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a lot of fun and a great fishing day. The captain Matej was great because he knows the fishing áreas and techniques pretty well and was so kind with us teaching us a lot about fishing. We highly recomend the ride to everyone. We’ll repit it!!

    sehr guter Kapitän

    3 Hour Trip - Bottom fishing on August 1, 2025 • 3 adults

    Matej ist ein sehr guter Kapitän. Wir haben verschiedene Angelmethoden ausprobiert, wobei er immer mit Ratschlägen zur Seite stand. Unsere Zielfische haben wir leider nicht alle fangen können. Aber wir wissen ja, nicht jeder Tag ist auch ein Fangtag. Trotzdem hat uns der Ausflug sehr gefallen und würden Matej auch gern weiterempfehlen.

    Fantastic fishing experience!!

    3 Hour Trip – Evening Spinning on July 19, 2025 • 1 adult

    Had a fantastic evening with the Matej. We caught some bluefish on the surface with topwater spinning and poppers. Matej is very experienced and knows where the fish are. He tells you exactly which fish to expect and explains the correct technique. He makes it a fun day with sandwiches and drinks. I can recommend him to everyone.

    Tuna fishing done right!

    8 Hour Trip – Big Game on August 17, 2023

    We went on a runa fishing tour with Mati and it was awesome. Mati has in depth knowledge of the sea and his boat is top notch, safe and comfortable, perfect for a personal tour for up to 5 people. He has developed his own technique for tuna fishing and has competition gear, as you can tell from the photos. The result was a tuna around 80kg and 190cm, 55 Minutes of fighting and the trip of a lifetime. The price is more than fair, communication is perfect and Mati is really doing an outstanding job. You can feel that the boss is going with you as s friend and not a bis company and some random skipper. 10/10 recommended

    4 Hour Trip – Live Bait Trolling on August 10, 2025 • 2 adults

    Great fishing trip with chill vibes. The captain is a chill dude with a lots of experience when it's comes to fishing on the see. Will do everything in his power to see you catch the best fish! We Even spend some more time on the water then provided. Highly recommended. We catchd some fish and lost some big won' s because whe didn't have the experience to quickly reel in the fish.

    3 Hour Trip – Evening Spinning on May 19, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Although the weather was not the best our captain made the best of it. We caught a few cattle fishes and a squid. Matej told us many useful and interesting things about fishing in this area. Great evening 👍

    Wonderful boat trip

    3 Hour Trip – Evening Spinning on July 11, 2024 • 2 adults

    We had really great time with Matej, even though we didnt catch a lot of fish, but we had a few. Blue fish was the most interesting. I wouldnt recommend spinning fishing for newbies as it requires some skill, but he offers other fishing styles as well. If you want to have a great time, see dolphins and a private boat trip with a great captain - this is your choice

    Wonderfull evening on the water

    3 Hour Trip – Evening Spinning on July 30, 2024 • 1 adult

    Just had a wonderfull evening on the water. Matej is an experienced angler who really knows his way on the Adriatic sea around Rovinj. He knows when to use wich techniques. We caught a view nice bluefish and even a 4.5kg leerfish! In the beautiful sunset we also had a sandwich and drinks...all taken care of by Cpt. Matej. If you're near Rovinj and enjoy fishing....don't hasitate and book a trip with this guy!

Captain hat alles versucht um an Fisch zu kommen
3 Hour Trip – Evening Spinning on July 27, 2026 • 2 adults

es war ein schöner Ausflug leider haben wir nix gefangen falsche Zeit im Juli der Captain hat sogar noch eine Std dran gehangen ud hat versucht uns an Fisch zu bringen aber as ist nunmal Angeln

Matej Skert
Response from Captain

Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis. Leider gibt es solche Tage. Wir haben alles versucht, aber die Fische haben nichts gebissen. Ich tue immer mein Bestes, und eine zusätzliche Stunde Angeln ohne Aufpreis ist das geringste Problem. Ich versuche wirklich alles, um etwas zu fangen, aber es war einfach kein guter Angeltag. Nochmals vielen Dank.

Hello everyone, I'm Matej, captain and owner of Violi fishing charter. I have been fishing since I was 4 years old, when I fell in love with this sport while going with my grandfather and father on freshwater fishing in the rivers and lakes of continental Croatia, where I lived for 17 years. 17 years ago, when I moved to Rovinj, I started to engage in sparefishing, which made fishing with a rod much easier for me because of the benefits of knowing the seabed in the areas where we fish. In the last 10 years of salt water fishing, I have devoted special attention to fishing techniques with spinning, egging techniques for cuttlefish and squid, and troling with live bait and artificial lures. I'm also a trained chef and I've been involved in cooking for most of my life. Besides the sea and fishing, it's another great passion and love. As far as cooking is concerned, of course fish has taken the main place and my professional passion has always been the preparation of fish and fish specialties. I spent many years of my youth working in various restaurants, from small local ones to those in 5-star hotels and fine dining kitchens. It is easy to imagine how interesting combinations and interpretations can be developed from these two areas of interest and passion, wouldn't one agree?
