Bottom & Reef Fishing (Morning) on July 7, 2025

I had an incredible fishing experience from the moment we set sail, everything felt seamless and well-organised. The boat was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with top-quality gear. What made the trip truly special was the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The crew was helpful and patient, offering tips without being overbearing. Being out on the open water with the sun shining and a cool breeze made it feel like a perfect escape. We ended the day with a solid haul and even spotted dolphins on the ride back. If you’re looking for a great day of fishing, I can’t recommend this experience enough, it was the perfect blend of adventure.

🎣 Unforgettable Tuna Fishing Experience in Malta! 🇲🇹🐟

NEW

6hr Tuna Trip - Sunset (SHARED) on July 6, 2025

🎣 Unforgettable Tuna Fishing Experience in Malta! 🇲🇹🐟 If you’re looking for an adrenaline-pumping fishing adventure, this is it! We booked a fishing trip in Malta with the goal of catching tuna, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of our lives. From the moment we stepped on the boat, the crew made us feel welcome and safe. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters, fishing techniques, and most importantly — they knew exactly where the tuna were biting! The setup was top-notch: professional-grade rods, bait, gear, and a well-equipped boat that handled the sea beautifully. Within a couple of hours offshore, we hooked our first bluefin — and the fight was intense! Reeling in such a powerful fish with the guidance of the experienced crew was unforgettable. By the end of the trip, we had multiple strikes and landed some impressive catches. What truly made the trip special was the passion and energy of the team. They weren’t just taking us on a tour — they were just as excited as we were about every bite. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, this fishing charter offers a genuine, high-quality Maltese sea adventure. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Malta who wants a mix of thrill, nature, and unforgettable memories. 🎣🔥 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bucket-list experience. Will definitely return next season!
