First trip was postponed due to weather, but change to day that was suitable for us. Sea was a bit choppy the day we went but Chris tried to find us calm spots. Caught a lot of fish. Was a bit worried that we wouldnโt find location but replied immediately to my questions. Good day out Great equipment, bait and nice clean boat
Ein toller Trip mit viel Erfolg und Spaร am angeln. Chris ist ein erfahrener und kompetenter Seemann. Er hat uns an Spots gebracht wo wir wirklich jeden Wurf einen Fang hatten. Also reichlich Fisch und Spaร. Fang durften am Ende auch mitgenommen werden. Danke fรผr einen tollen Fishing day ! Beste Grรผรe M.Alame
Five hour trolling trip highly recommend, started a bit slow, however Captain Chris made a change to tactics and we then had a good mix of amberjack, dorito and a we think a barracuda which snapped me off. But sure itโs a great fishing tale ๐ Chris knows his stuff would highly recommend this trip. Thanks Thomas (Northern Ireland)
Chris gave us an absolutely phenomenal experience, I cannot recommend it enough. His knowledge of the water and the island was amazing. He put us right on top of the fish and even suggested a restaurant that would prepare that very same day before our late flight. We will absolutely be back again for this once in a lifetime experience.
I was very disappointed with the treatment from Aquatica due to two reasons:
1) fishing trip was rescheduled from 7 AM to 12.30 on a very short notice, with the organisers claiming that the boat needs to undergo repair. They first asked us to change the date of the trip, but due to my father and I planning the whole trip to Malta just to attend this, we asked for the date to remain the same, which the company agreed with. However, later we learned from the captain that he indeed had a trip booked in the morning but with other customers, so we suspect that our trip was rescheduled because someone more important showed up. I specifically wanted an early morning slot because my father isnโt young anymore, so 5 hours of fishing in direct sun during the hottest part of the day isnโt exactly the best for his health.
2) Secondly, we paid for a trolling trip with live bait, but we were took for drifting with frozen bait. It is a disgrace to charge a customer more expensive service and then provide a cheaper alternative and pretend that the price difference of more than 100 euros should not be reimbursed.

Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry about how you feel about the fishing trip. We would like to address the two points you mentioned. 1) A few days before we reached out and communicated with you informing you that we were undergoing urgent repairs on the boat engine which required rescheduling of various trips including yours. We offered you a slot in the morning the following day but this was not suitable for you. We operate with more than one boat so the best slot we could provide was the afternoon slot on another boat we operate. I can understand how you may have suspected that your slot was taken by someone else however rest assured that this did not go the way you think an we apologise for this inconvenience. We also would like to point out that all our boats have sun canopies to offer suitable shade from the sun. 2) You are correct in stating that the trolling section of the trip was cut short and we apologise for the miscommunication on the matter. The trolling was not being very productive during this day and the skipper wanted you to make sure you have a great time and catch fish. For this reason he travelled offshore to go snapper fishing on the other banks. In this case the skipper should have communicated with you better whether you would have preferred trolling. Please understand that our main focus on all our fishing trips is that our guests have a great time and catch lots of fish. On this day the best way to accomplish this was snapper fishing of which you caught a few nice ones. In any case we understand your position on the matter and we want to make it up to you. We are committed to ensuring all our guests have an amazing experience and we are offering you a complementary trip free of charge hoping that you take us up on the offer. Alternatively weโll be happy to refund you the price difference. We look forward to hearing from you soon, thanks :-)
