Nestled on the western coast of Vis island, Komiža is a historic fishing town renowned for its deep maritime traditions and abundant Adriatic waters. For centuries, Komiža fishermen have mastered these seas using iconic Falkuša sailboats, crafting a legacy of expertise now shared through modern fishing charters.
Komiža’s waters teem with diverse species year-round. Anglers regularly hook Mediterranean favorites like gilthead seabream, dentex, amberjack, and Atlantic bonito. The bay’s unique ecology also supports prized catches including greater amberjack, bluefin tuna (peak season May-July), and swordfish (best June-November). Night excursions often yield conger eel and squid, while sheltered coves hold white seabream and red scorpionfish.
Local captains leverage generations of knowledge to navigate prime spots—from Hum Hill’s rocky outcrops to Palagruža’s deeper grounds. Seasonal patterns dictate tactics: summer surface trolling for pelagics, autumn bottom fishing near underwater structures, and winter depths targeting bluefin migrations. Whether chasing trophy amberjack offshore or sight-casting in transparent shallows, Komiža delivers Croatia’s quintessential blue-water adventure.
