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!

Der Trip war super organisiert. Von der Buchung, über den Treffpunkt bis zur Action auf See. Das Auto kann kostenfrei am Steg in der Marina in Valbandon geparkt werden. Wir haben uns auf das Grundangeln konzentriert. Dabei sind wir 2 Hotspots angefahren, die reichlich Fisch und Artenvielfalt brachten. Leider ist mir ein Drachenkopf ausgeschlitzt, aber das gehört nunmal dazu. Zu allen Fischen gab es Infos vom Profi Stefano, der mit seinem Vater dafür gesorgt hat, das der Ausflug in perfekter Atmosphäre bei Sonnenuntergang ein Highlight meines diesjährigen Urlaubes in Kroatien geworden ist...Macht weiter so, klare Weiterempfehlung...👌
Thank you so much, Andreas, It was truly a pleasure having you on board. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that it became one of the highlights of your holiday in Croatia. Thank you very much for your wonderful words and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another fishing adventure soon. We wish you all the best, and tight lines on your future fishing trips 😃
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 !
An absolutely amazing fishing trip! Captain Valter and Captain Stefano are both incredibly kind and friendly people. I had so much fun and caught some great fish! The fish went straight on the grill today and tasted absolutely delicious! Thank you both for such a great evening – I would definitely go fishing with you again! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure having you on board and fishing together. We’re very happy you enjoyed the evening — and even happier to hear that the catch tasted great on the grill 😄 Thank you again for choosing Adriatic Wave. We hope to see you again for another fishing adventure in Croatia. Best wishes, Stefano & Valter
We booked a family trip for 2 adults and 13 year-old. Very nice trip- good for both experienced and not experienced anglers! During the trip we caught around 60 fish from 13 different species. We were lucky to catch a small tuna fish! The wife was happy with the beautiful sunset view 😉
Thank you very much, Michał, for the wonderful review! 😊 It was a real pleasure having you and your family on board. We had a fantastic evening with plenty of action, many different species and, of course, the little tuna as a nice surprise ! I'm really happy that you all enjoyed the fishing trip and the beautiful sunset. Thank you again for choosing Adriatic Wave, and I hope to see you again on your next visit to Croatia 😃
Der Ausflug war einfach fantastisch. Stefano ist sehr freundlich und erklärt alles sehr ausführlich. Wir haben viele verschiedene Fische gefangen. Der Ausblick mit Sonnenuntergang war fantastisch. Wir würden ihn auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. LG aus Deutschland Stefan und Willi
