I come from a family with a rich history in fishing, spanning four generations. Fishing is truly in my blood, and I have been practicing it since I was a child. My first love was spearfishing, a passion I pursued from a very young age. Over time, I developed a deep affection for sport fishing, particularly trolling with live bait, and subsequently vertical techniques such as inchiku and jigging. Another technique that holds a special place in my heart is spinning, which ranges from bass fishing to popping for large bluefin tuna. Throughout my local waters, I have mastered all techniques, from shore spinning to big game fishing. As a passionate fisherman, I spent every spare moment on the sea until I decided to turn my passion into my life's work. This led to the creation of my own fishing charter, allowing me to share my love for fishing with others and help them xperience the thrill of the catch.

    Perfect Family Trip with an Experienced Skipper

    Family Adventure Fishing Poreč • 2 adults • 1 child

    **Deutsch:** Ein wirklich toller Ausflug mit Captain Paolo von Dreamcatcher Xperience! Die Family Adventure Tour war unkompliziert zu buchen, der Kontakt im Vorfeld war schnell und freundlich, und Paolo spricht sehr gutes Englisch. Er ist großartig auf unseren 9-jährigen Sohn eingegangen und hat ihm geduldig alles erklärt – man merkt sofort seine Erfahrung als Skipper. Das Boot ist top ausgestattet, der Service war rundum super, und wir haben viele Fische gefangen. Wir hatten alle sehr viel Spaß an Bord! Ein kleiner Hinweis für andere Familien: Bei der Family Adventure Tour fährt man nicht ganz so weit raus, weshalb die gefangenen Fische (aktuell auch wetterbedingt durch die hohen Wassertemperaturen) eher klein ausfielen und nicht zum Mitnehmen geeignet waren. Für Kinder ist das aber kein Problem, da es viele Bisse gibt und der Spaß im Vordergrund steht – wer den Fang mit nach Hause nehmen möchte, fragt am besten vorher nach der passenden Tour-Option. Klare Empfehlung, 5 Sterne! --- **Englisch:** A truly great trip with Captain Paolo from Dreamcatcher Xperience! Booking the Family Adventure Tour was easy, communication beforehand was quick and friendly, and Paolo's English is excellent. He was wonderful with our 9-year-old son, patiently explaining everything to him – his experience as a skipper really shows. The boat is very well equipped, service was great throughout, and we caught a lot of fish. We all had so much fun on board! A small note for other families: on the Family Adventure Tour, you don't go quite as far offshore, so the fish we caught (also affected by the currently high water temperatures) tended to be on the smaller side and not suitable to take home. That's no issue for kids though, since there are plenty of bites and the fun is the main focus – if you're hoping to take your catch home, it's worth asking in advance about the right tour option. Clear recommendation, 5 stars!

    Thank you so much, Dirk, for the great review and the 5 stars! 🙏🏼🎣 It was a pleasure having you and your family on board, and I’m especially happy that your son enjoyed the fishing! 😊 You described our Family Fishing perfectly — the focus is on fun, action and introducing kids to sea fishing, while for bigger catches we recommend our longer offshore trips. Thanks again for choosing DreamCatcher Xperience, and hopefully we’ll see you again! 🚤🎣🤘🏼

    best trip ever!

    Family Adventure Fishing Poreč • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing afternoon with Dreamcatcher Xperience in Poreč. Paolo is a fantastic guy who takes all the time needed to teach the kids the basics of fishing. His patience and enthusiasm made it a great experience, and the kids absolutely loved it. Paolo knew exactly where to find the best fishing spots, and we caught plenty of beautiful fish. During the trip, he also shared lots of interesting facts about Croatia and its more than 1,000 islands, which made the experience even more enjoyable and educational. This is much more than just a fishing trip. It’s a fantastic experience for the whole family. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Poreč. Thank you, Paolo. We hope to see you again!

    Mehr als nur ein Ausflug!

    Family Adventure Fishing Poreč • 3 adults • 2 children

    Der Kapitän Paolo war ein großartiger Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Kinder waren von seiner lustigen Art begeistert. Die Hin- und Rückfahrt waren ebenso ein Erlebnis, als auch das Angeln selbst. Wir haben ca. 25 Fische gefangen, wovon wir 15 mitnehmen konnten. Die frischen Fische haben wir uns gleich schmecken lassen. Wir würden diese Tour jederzeit wieder machen. Danke an den Kapitän für den schönen Nachmittag!

    Reported catch:

    offshore bottom fishing

    Offshore Bottom Fishing Poreč

    A truly unforgettable experience with Dreamcatcher Charter! This was so much more than a fishing trip. Spending the day at sea with my 9 year old son and watching him make his first serious catches was something very special. Seeing his happiness, excitement, and pride made the whole experience priceless. Add to that our first sunset far from the shore, and it became a day we will never forget. Beautiful, unique, and full of memories that will stay with us forever. Until next time! Tnx Dreamcather.

We are very happy to have been part of a day your family will remember forever. It was a pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure. Until next time, thank you once again! Paolo Dreamcatcher Xperience

Turning your Dreams into Xperiences

We set out to prepare and set up the rods for big game fishing. Once we finished our tasks, we decided to catch live bait and try to catch a dentex. We found them in large numbers on the sonar and saw that they were feeding. We lowered the live bait, and it didn't take long for a dentex to strike, its hunger betraying it. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset with successful fishing, and happily returned to the port.
