Lagoon Venice Fishing Experience
Lagoon Venice Fishing Experience
Lagoon Venice Fishing Experience welcomes you to the stunning waters of Venezia.
These waters hold game fish like European Seabass, Bluefish, Gilt-head (Seabream), Leerfish (Garrick), and more with any luck.
Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Claudio also offers fly fishing.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!
You'll be dropping lines from a 19' Laguna center console with capacity for 2 passengers. It comes with downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
It's recommended to bring sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is not allowed. There will be some light snacks included on board.
Your trip with Lagoon Venice Fishing Experience is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Dan NapletonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Day on unique Water
Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon - 3:00 PM on April 10, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I went spin fishing for a half day trip with Claudio and brought our two young boys with us. Claudio communicated in advance that with the size of the boat and challenge level of the jerk bait styles that it might be better to book for us two rather than for all four of us and save us money. He then offered to pick us up at the Hilton where we were staying which helped enormously. We had a very nice morning on the water through tougher tide conditions and ended up getting on sea bass and bluefish. We caught 4 total and had a great day. Claudio was a great host, captain and experienced fisherman and made it a great day for us!
Simon Thaler4.7VerifiedNewSuper Angelausflug
Sea Bottom Fishing up to 2 people - 2:00 PM on October 2, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childClaudio ist ein sehr erfahrener Angler. Es war ein toller Ausflug, wo wir verschiedene Techniken versuchen konnten. Das nächste mal, wenn wir in der Nähe sind, werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder mit Claudio angeln gehen.

Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon on May 29, 2026 • 2 adultsWe caught lots of fish over 60! Many different species, great captain and so fun,
Whitney DueckRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFive Stars for Claudio
Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon on October 17, 2025 • 1 adultMy son wanted to go fishing in Venice to celebrate his 12th birthday. Claudio took my sister and son out to the Adriatic Sea and they found a school of Mackerel. Then they went back to the the lagoon and went sea bass fishing. They didn't catch any sea bass, but several jumped up at their top water lures. My son said he wishes he could fish with Claudio every day! Thanks for a fantastic experience.
Mo Fungki5.0Verifiedgood boatman

Sergiu MateiRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSeabass in Venice, April 2026
Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon on April 12, 2026 • 2 adultsI had an afternoon trip with Claudio. First of all, I would like to say that Claudio is a kind person and an experienced fisherman who knows the waters in that area. He was available to chat before, to listen to my demands and establish a good plan for our trip. He picked me up în time from the established meeting point, so anything was easy and pleasant. From the beginning we establish our target - the seabass. There were not the easiest conditions, considering the tides and climate changes on those days, but thanks to Claudio guiding, I managed to hook 3 fish, and to land 2 of them (one of them got unhooked). We also tried trolling for a little while before sunset, but the fish were not very active. I am mentioning that I bought and used my own equipment. However, Claudio lend me some of his lures, and I have to say, for the very first time on a fishing charter I noticed that all of them had good, sharp hooks, with no rust on them.This fact highlight Claudio's care and respect for the customer and the fish, so, extra points for that! Also, the boat was nice and clean. Overall, it was a nice experience and I was happy. If I'll be back, for sure I would plan a trip again.
Dave DiEugenio5.0VerifiedNewGreat Trip with Capt Claudio
Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon on October 9, 2026 • 1 adultOn time, easy, great communications and a solid guide! Capt Claudio knows his fishery well and will put you on fish! Whether in the main Venice Lagoon, or up in the North Lagoon section, expect a great day, a quality guide, and tight lines!
Sadie HookerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewGreat Communication!
Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon - 3:00 PM on September 23, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain was very considerate and made recommendations for better fishing due to weather conditions. Very easy to find the boat and lots of fishing tips to improve our catch. Excellent addition to trip and nice break from museums, shopping, and walking.

Sergiu, thank you thank you thank you! When the customer sees the things I care about, and the care and passion I put into this work, it is the utmost gratitude for me! Unfortunately not everyone is lucky, because unfortunately every now and then a bad day happens, that the fish do not cooperate, and the lack of catch makes the experience not pleasant, but my work can go up to a certain point. Reading your words comforts me, and makes me understand that the direction is the right one, and if the trophy to be displayed in the photo arrives, even better, because the day becomes beautiful!

Thanks to you Daniel, I hope one day to see you again when the boys are older, and see them with the same beautiful passion, that you and your wife have!
On time, easy, great communications and a solid guide! Capt Claudio knows his fishery well and will put you on fish! Whether in the main Venice Lagoon, or up in the North Lagoon section, expect a great day, a quality guide, and tight lines!
Thank you for the kind words David, but I must say that when you have a good fisherman like you on board, everything is much easier! They were wonderful hours together, and the fish gave us the opportunity to have fun, because let's not forget that they put the last "word" there! 😀 Claudio

Thank you for the kind words, and thanks to Rass for the beautiful hours of fishing experienced! Claudio

Thank you very much Simon, and thanks also to little Mike! Too bad that the rough sea did not allow us to stay out for the time necessary to entertain Mike with easy fish, but then you proved to be a good fisherman, even in the challenge I proposed to you in the lagoon, hunting for the queen the Sea Bass! Well done and thank you! Claudio
