Adriatic Wave
Adriatic Wave
Looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in Istria? Join us on a private fishing tour starting from Valbandon, a charming coastal village near Fažana – gateway to Brijuni National Park.
Our fishing trip takes you to some of the richest and most secluded fishing spots in the Fažana Channel, around the Brijuni Islands, and along the Pula breakwater – known for their diversity of marine life.
The tour is led by Stefano and Valter, a father-son team of experienced professionals:
Stefano is a marine biologist, certified fishing coach, long-time member of the Croatian national team, and multiple world champion in sport fishing from anchored boats.
Valter, his father and mentor, is also a masters-level competitor.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, this is a great opportunity to learn from the best, enjoy nature, and spend quality time with your family. Children are very welcome!
Our tours last about 3 hours. If you choose an evening tour, it often ends with a stunning sunset behind the Brijuni Islands, and with a bit of luck, dolphins might make an appearance. If you prefer a morning tour, you'll enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the Fažana Channel and the calm, crystal-clear sea. Morning tours are available only on Saturdays and Sundays.
What's included in the price?
-> Fishing license
-> Professional equipment (rods, reels, bait)
-> Refreshments (drinks and snacks)
-> Guide and instruction
Just show up – we provide everything else!

My son and I had a very fun and amazing time on our 3-hour fishing trip with Stefano Erman and his father. They were both incredibly kind and attentive to every detail, perfectly adapting to our specific needs and making the whole experience highly enjoyable and truly unforgettable. The trip was very dynamic, and we had lots of catches! Since we were interested in learning more, they took the time to show us different techniques and gave us several great tips for sea fishing. To top it all off, they even cleaned the fish we caught and packed it up for us to take away. I highly recommend booking with them if you are looking for a great fishing experience. Thank you, Stefano e Valter!
Thank you so much, Marcello, for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure having you and your son on board. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip, learned some new fishing techniques, and had such a memorable experience with us. Thank you for your kind words and for choosing Adriatic Wave. We hope to welcome you both back on board again in the future for another great day of fishing. Until then, tight lines and all the best !
We had a wonderful and very successful fishing trip with Stefano. He was always dedicated to making sure we caught fish and took us to several different fishing spots throughout the evening. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. We can highly recommend Stefano to anyone looking for a great fishing guide, and we would love to come back for another trip in the future!
Thank you so much, Florian, for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure having you on board and sharing this fishing adventure with you.

You're always welcome back, and I look forward to fishing with you again in the future. Tight lines and see you next time :D
I booked a three hour fishing trip with Stefano for myself and my son (9 years). Stefano did an excellent job. He was very friendly and helpful. We caught plenty of fish, and Stefano even scaled and gutted them for us right on the boat. We had a truly great time and my son and i really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Tobias! It was a real pleasure having you and your son on board. I'm very happy to hear that you both enjoyed the trip and caught plenty of fish. I hope to welcome you back to Croatia for another fishing adventure in the future. Tight lines and all the best to your family!
We caught a large variety of fish, and Captain Stefano was very knowledgeable about each species. He made my son's 17th birthday unforgettable. You do not have to be a fishing expert to have a wonderful time. Highly recommended for novice and experts alike!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 It was a real pleasure having you and your family on board, and I'm truly happy we could make your son's 17th birthday such a special and memorable experience. Catching so many different fish made the trip even more exciting! I hope to welcome you back to Istria someday for another great fishing adventure. Wishing you and your family all the best!
The captain was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We caught several small fish and enjoyed the beautiful views. A highlight was being able to watch the sunset from the boat in the evening. Snacks and drinks were provided, which was a nice touch. We definitely recommend this trip and would love to come back again!
Thank you. I really enjoyed spending time with you too
