Frank TrillaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNEWMaybe the nicest Capt ever!
6 hours light fishing & blue lagoon • 2 adultsAnte was great, super accommodating. We enjoyed the fact he spoke English fluently. Ante was a world class marksman and shared stories of competing. Whenever we fish we hope to get local Captain who knows all the “secrets” . Ante delivered having talked sbout out traveling and fishing we were able to catch a pair of swordfish which was our last remaining billfish for my son and i to catch. We came to Split to meet family and ended up crossing off a bucket list fish . Thank you Ante for a great trip, many laughs!
Jonathan Thomas5.0VerifiedExcellent Day at Sea
Full day Fishing & Blue Cave • 2 adultsCaptain Ante is the best! We had an outstanding experience on this fishing charter and would highly recommend it. From the moment we stepped on board, the captain was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable. He took the time to understand exactly what we were hoping to get out of the trip and was very accommodating in letting us customize the charter to fit our preferences. What really stood out was his dedication to finding fish. He clearly knows the waters well and was constantly adjusting our plan to give us the best possible chance at success. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience, not just going through the motions. He also shared helpful insights throughout the trip, including Recommended which islands we visited and recommended spots for lunch on our scheduled break. Captain Ante delivered a guided, personalized experience. Overall, a fantastic outing with a knowledgeable and passionate captain. Next time we are in the Adriatic we’ll definitely be booking again.

Liam Hudler5.0VerifiedNEWGreat day on the water
Big game fishing / Bluefin tuna • 2 adultsAnte and his crew did a phenomenal job. We went for Tuna and when they weren’t biting, Ante ensured I did not go home empty handed and took us fishing for snapper. He gave me a great recipe for the fish head soup which was delicious. I would recommend this trip to any fisherman looking to experience the Adriatic sea.
Kate Dambremont5.0VerifiedGreat trip & great captain
Big game fishing / Bluefin tuna • 4 adultsWe went out with captain Ante and lost a HUGE tuna right at the boat—but its fishing, not catching! We still had a lot of fun and a great time; would definitely recommend

Full day tour with guys from “Kelvin’s T
May 3, 2023 • Split
This trip was exactly the kind of experience we want to provide to our clients.
Having a full day trip means that we can go far away from the coast and reach some of best fishing grounds that Adriatic sea can offer.
By driving more than 90 nautical miles that day, we could call that some serious fishing expedition.
Started early from Split, cruising around 30 kts we reached our fishing spots. During the day we tried a few different techniques trying to target John Dory’s and Red snappers.
Kelvin and his friend were more interested into jigging, so we focused on that. We used soft silicone lures and traditional metal jigs.
With more than 20 big fishes, we can say that fish activity was fantastic that day.
Besides fishing, we had a nice time hanging out and sharing our fishing experiences.
When we got back to Split, we didn’t leave them empty handed. John Dory’s are the most reputable species in fhe Adriatic seas and fheir wives agreed on that.

2 amazing days around Vis archipelago
Mar 6, 2023 • Split
Sometimes winter in Croatia means having 22 degrees C and putting on sun protection. Exactly that happened, and we used 2 beautiful days to cast our hooks around Vis & Biševo island.
This time we targeted John dory’s and red snappers using live baits and jigs.
First day we focused on trolling with live squid and got few nice snappers, but unfortunately fish of the day straighten our hook.
Happy but hungry, we got to Biševo where we had booked accommodation.
We prepared a nice barbecue, enjoyed the sunset and tried few local vines.
After good rest, next day we switched to jiging. Fish was very active in the morning and we got out 5 capital John Dory’s, and like sugar in the end, one big red snapper.
During late afternoon the weather started changing so we decided it was time to go home.
Tired but satisfied, we ended this trip with having some good fish in the coolbox and even better memories.
Until next time, Ante
