    Authentic Local Fishing Experience with a Great Captain

    Bottom Fishing (AM) • 2 adults

    10/10 We had a fantastic day with Captain Ivan. You can tell right away that fishing is part of who he is. He knows these waters incredibly well and always seemed to know where the next good spot would be. He speaks great English, communicates clearly, and was very patient with my 14-year-old son. He explained techniques, shared lots of tips, and made learning fun with his sense of humor. My son had a great time and learned a lot. The boat isn’t huge, but that’s actually an advantage. It’s well equipped and can reach many amazing spots that bigger boats simply can’t get to. If you’re looking for a real local fishing experience with someone who genuinely loves what he does, I can highly recommend Captain Ivan

    A perfect fishing trip!

    Full day Trolling&Jigging • 2 adults

    We had a fantastic day with Captain Duje. We set out as early as 4:00 a.m., and despite the fact that May isn’t considered the best time of year for fishing, we managed to catch a considerable number of fish. Duje is an extremely experienced and passionate angler who truly knows his craft. Throughout the trip, he shared his extensive knowledge of fishing in the Adriatic Sea with us. In addition to the great catch, we especially appreciated the professional guidance and Duje’s enthusiasm for fishing. We would be very happy to go out with Duje again later in the season and experience more fishing adventures with him. We wish him every success for the coming season. Thank you very much for this unforgettable day!

    4 sata koja su se itekako isplatila!

    Half day trolling&jigging afternoon • 2 adults

    Bili smo moj dečko i ja na četverosatnom ribolovu i stvarno nam je bilo odlično. Već sama vožnja brodom bila je vrijedna dolaska. Vodič jako dobro poznaje uvalu i obalu te zna gdje pronaći ribu. Tijekom ribolova čak nam se i udica slomila zbog snage ribe, što je bilo posebno uzbudljivo iskustvo koje ćemo dugo pamtiti. Toplo preporučujemo ovu turu svakome tko voli ribolov ili želi doživjeti nešto posebno na moru. Hvala na prekrasnom iskustvu!

    Enjoyed every moment

    Half day trolling&jigging afternoon • 3 adults • 1 child

    The fish had a lazy day.. Duje did his best to try and find them.. we did catch some small ones. Duje took us for a short stay at the blue lagoon, where we got to swim in the lovely sea.. such a cool place.. We still had a wonderful trip, we love fishing.. sometimes you catch a lot of fish, sometimes not so many :) Duje was very sweet and helpful. Would recommend him anytime!

    Half day trolling&jigging afternoon • 3 adults • 1 child

    We caught needlefish for bait then a few good size( 8 pounds and 4 ponds) blowfish that fight like smallmouth bass. Tuly exciting. Duje is personable, explains what he is doing or recommending and why. A very good trait. I will fish with him again when i return to croatia.

    Captain Dove was super professional! We succeeded catching a lot of small fishes easily and he explained us how to prepare them for eating. The most amazing part was that we succeeded catching an amazing Tuna fish!! Almost in the end. We also saw Dolphins in the water, while sailing!! Which was a great bonus!! Really recommend adventure.

    the captain was friendly and communicated well. didnt have much luck catching fish as it was just a slow day, but we enjoyed snorkeling and still pulled up several small fish for fiah soup. Duje also runs a restaurant that looks excellent. we would have enjoyed our catch there if we we didnt have to hop on our flight home.

    The fishing trip was fantastic! We caught plenty of fish and had an amazing time out on the water. We always felt safe and well taken care of, and the experience was truly generous and memorable. A big thank you to the captain for everything—we really appreciate it!

    Captain Duje was extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming. He made sure that we were all able to catch, from baitfish to some very sizable bluefish. Some of us were less experienced and he took the time to ensure we all knew what to do when we got a bite. Fishermen of all experiences should strongly consider Duje’s charter as he is happy to let you do as much of the fishing as you feel comfortable with. It was a slow day with the fish not confidently feeding, yet Duje’s expertise allowed us all to catch some really nice Bluefish, so that we had something impressive for the BBQ that evening. This charter was great value for money and I strongly encourage you to book it too, so that your group may have the same fun and success that we had! Thank you Duje for a great mornings fishing!

    Duje was very knowledgable and has years of experience in the area. We started the trip catching needle fish to use as live bait before heading back towards the harbour. Despite a few failed attempts my partner caught a blue fish with our last needle fish - a great way to end his birthday! Thanks Duje!

    Skipper knew what he was doing ....caught bait fish to start, then went on to catch larger blue fish. Skipper knew all the spots. Large comfy boat. Think I might have finally converted our 14yr old to fishing. All three of us had a lovely time
