    nice trip with good fishing

    3 Hour Trip (copy) • 3 adults

    captain and crew were professional and very accomodating. we had quite good fishing, we managed to land 3 "Little Tuny" and also lost 2. the first one was a very nice one. I'm an experienced angler and did really enjoy the trip. they explained the fishing systems and equipment. showed us the sonar with much more. my brother is not as much of a fishing fan but also enjoyed it he only wanted to reel them in which he did. very well sorted trip who fits everyone regardless of experience level. for experienced anglers anglers this fits you well, they have amazing equipment and have invested alot both money and knowledge. these guys are professionals and will make your trip very good.

    Excellent tuna fishing in Marbella

    8 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    We were a group of three friends who had booked a trip with Daniel from Blue Marlin. The information and answers to our questions were always great. We fished with Captain Antonio and his friend Alvaro. They gave us an excellent experience. First we caught several small fish in the 1-2 kg range. Then we had an 11 kg fish and lost several similar ones. Late afternoon, we tried to catch a big tuna but were not lucky. Overall we had a great experience, the crew, the boat, the weather, the sea were perfect. Thank you very much to Antonio. We highly recommend a trip with Blue Marlin.

    Amazing experience

    3 Hour Trip • 6 adults • 1 child

    Booked a fishing trip with Pesca Marbella – Calamardo, with Pablo as our captain, and it was one of the highlights of our Spain trip. Pablo was incredibly knowledgeable — he clearly knows these waters well and put us on fish all day. We caught a lot! He was also really patient with our group, made sure everyone had a turn and felt included, kids and adults alike. Great vibe on the boat the whole time, never felt rushed or transactional. Would absolutely book with him again if we’re back in Marbella. Highly recommend for families or anyone wanting a genuinely good day out on the water.”

    Best fishing trip ever!

    Salida 2 Horas • 6 adults

    We had an amazing fishing trip with Pablo (Pescar Marbella)! He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience so much fun. He really knew the best spots and made sure we had a fantastic day out on the water. The fishing was incredible, and we had an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Pablo was also very helpful and made sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommended! If you’re looking for a great fishing experience, definitely book with Pablo. We would absolutely do it again! 🎣

    Excellent experience

    Off-season discount • 2 adults

    My friend and I only order the 4 hours trip cuz the travel arrangements，yesterday we were still worried we wouldn't catch any fish, but today we have a very unforgettable trip which has far exceeded our expectations. The two captains are both very professional in fishing， they find those fish traces through professional equipments and seagulls，also taught us some skills of offshore fishing. We got two mackerel tuna today, also two more escaped cuz my lack of experience. I had never caught such a big fish before. This trip is one of the best decisions I made for my vacation in Spain. For people like my friend who have some fishing experience, you can try to catch larger fish with captains, for beginners like me, following them out to sea will definitely make you fall in love with this activity. 这个船长很专业，推荐预定，只有一点钓鱼经验的新手也没问题。这次的钓鱼体验非常好。
