  Seabass in Venice, April 2026

  Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon on April 12, 2026 • 2 adults

  I had an afternoon trip with Claudio. First of all, I would like to say that Claudio is a kind person and an experienced fisherman who knows the waters in that area. He was available to chat before, to listen to my demands and establish a good plan for our trip. He picked me up în time from the established meeting point, so anything was easy and pleasant. From the beginning we establish our target - the seabass. There were not the easiest conditions, considering the tides and climate changes on those days, but thanks to Claudio guiding, I managed to hook 3 fish, and to land 2 of them (one of them got unhooked). We also tried trolling for a little while before sunset, but the fish were not very active. I am mentioning that I bought and used my own equipment. However, Claudio lend me some of his lures, and I have to say, for the very first time on a fishing charter I noticed that all of them had good, sharp hooks, with no rust on them.This fact highlight Claudio's care and respect for the customer and the fish, so, extra points for that! Also, the boat was nice and clean. Overall, it was a nice experience and I was happy. If I'll be back, for sure I would plan a trip again.

  Sergiu, thank you thank you thank you! When the customer sees the things I care about, and the care and passion I put into this work, it is the utmost gratitude for me! Unfortunately not everyone is lucky, because unfortunately every now and then a bad day happens, that the fish do not cooperate, and the lack of catch makes the experience not pleasant, but my work can go up to a certain point. Reading your words comforts me, and makes me understand that the direction is the right one, and if the trophy to be displayed in the photo arrives, even better, because the day becomes beautiful!

  Great Day on unique Water

  Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon - 3:00 PM on April 10, 2026 • 2 adults

  My wife and I went spin fishing for a half day trip with Claudio and brought our two young boys with us. Claudio communicated in advance that with the size of the boat and challenge level of the jerk bait styles that it might be better to book for us two rather than for all four of us and save us money. He then offered to pick us up at the Hilton where we were staying which helped enormously. We had a very nice morning on the water through tougher tide conditions and ended up getting on sea bass and bluefish. We caught 4 total and had a great day. Claudio was a great host, captain and experienced fisherman and made it a great day for us!

  Thanks to you Daniel, I hope one day to see you again when the boys are older, and see them with the same beautiful passion, that you and your wife have!

  Captain was very considerate and made recommendations for better fishing due to weather conditions. Very easy to find the boat and lots of fishing tips to improve our catch. Excellent addition to trip and nice break from museums, shopping, and walking.

  Five Stars for Claudio

  Spinning/fly fishing in the Lagoon on October 17, 2025 • 1 adult

  My son wanted to go fishing in Venice to celebrate his 12th birthday. Claudio took my sister and son out to the Adriatic Sea and they found a school of Mackerel. Then they went back to the the lagoon and went sea bass fishing. They didn't catch any sea bass, but several jumped up at their top water lures. My son said he wishes he could fish with Claudio every day! Thanks for a fantastic experience.

  Thank you, thank you, and thank you again! When a child has fun, for me it is an emotion that gives me the energy to continue and improve more and more! Considering the weather we found, Ace and Lindsay performed very well, and showed me good technique and speed in learning the technique we use in the Lagoon. They were beautiful hours, spent with beautiful people and good fishermen! Please, Ace must continue, because fishing makes young people grow well! In the review the name of the fish was wrong, in the sea we fished gray mackerel

  Thank you so much guys! It was nice to spend an afternoon with you! Be careful, because the small one is a "fishing machine" when he is big, he beats you all! 😂😂😂
