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!
Book your tour today and discover the Adriatic in a truly special way!

Buntgemischt bei super Bedingungen!
3 Hour Trip (PM) on August 5, 20261 adult

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...👌

Fantastic 3-Hour+ Fishing Trip
3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 19, 20262 adults

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!

Response from Captain

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 !

Top Guide
3 Hour Trip (PM) on September 13, 20261 adult

Alles in allem Top, wer einmal Fische fangen will und das Zappeln in der Rute spüren möchte und noch keine Erfahrung mim Angeln hat, ist es wirklich TipTop. Ich habe zwar Erfahrung im Angeln ( sowohl Süß als auch Salzwasser) aber die zwei machen es wirklich Grandios. Grüße gehen raus und ein dickes Petri Heil 🎣

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the fantastic review 😊 We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the fishing experience and had a great time with us. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to see you again for another fishing adventure in Istria! Tight lines and all the best from Adriatic Wave
