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?

    Great Day on unique Water

    Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon - 3:00 PM on April 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    My 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!

    Five Stars for Claudio

    Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon on October 17, 2025 • 1 adult

    My 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.

    Seabass in Venice, April 2026

    Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon on April 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    I 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.
