I was born and raised by the sea and from my childhood surrounded by sailors and fishermen. I started very young, as a boy. First, that was just a curiosity, but when I caught my first big prey, it became much more than a hobby. Now, sailing and fishing are my true passion and love. I also have some respectable awards from international competitions (1st place on Big Game Budva in 2017, and 2nd place on Big Game Budva in 2016). As a captain, I really enjoy looking people's thrilled faces every time they catch some gigantic fish. For me, each boat trip is a chance to meet new friends and enjoy their company. That's the reason I admire my job.

    Great captain and crew

    8 Hour Trip–Longline Fishing Giants9 adults

    Fishing was slow and we ended up with nothing, so I want to be clear this review is about the captain, not the catch. Ivan went out the night before we even started, on his own time, to set a longline for us. On the trip itself we pulled it, then tried bottom fishing, then switched to jigging and changed spots a few times. Nemanja, his first mate, worked hard the whole day and knew exactly what he was doing. After 1pm the conditions turned bad — strong current with the wind coming from the opposite direction, so the water got rough and fishing was tough. They kept at it anyway and never gave up trying to put us on fish. That's all you can ask from a captain and crew. The fish didn't cooperate, but Ivan and Nemanja did everything right. Highly recommend them.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you very much, Marko, for such an honest and thoughtful review. It really means a lot to both Nemanja and me that you recognized how much effort we put into the trip. Of course, we would have loved to finish the day with a good catch, but sometimes the fish simply don’t cooperate, no matter how hard we try. We did everything we could, changed techniques and spots, and kept trying until the end. Thank you especially for appreciating our work and attitude despite the slow fishing. It was a pleasure having you on board, and I truly hope we get another chance to fish together. I’m sure our biggest catches are still ahead of us! All the best, Ivan & Nemanja
