Description
Being one of the most well-preserved medieval towns in Croatia, Dubrovnik is an experience in itself. It became known as a filming location for Game of Thrones in recent years. The mighty ramparts built to dissuade the attackers in the past offer a picturesque view from the sea nowadays.
Fishing in the open sea with a view of the historic coastal town is not something one should miss. The crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea around Dubrovnik are full of big game, a perfect challenge for anglers from all around the globe.
During the 10 hours with us, you will get to know all the procedures and techniques of hooking the enormous sea predator. The ship’s captain will teach you how to handle all the equipment, react when the fish bites, and get it on the deck.
Once you are familiar with everything, it will be a game of waiting. But the real fun begins when one of your rods goes off, and the action of pulling the fish on the boat commences. We do not doubt that you will be successful and fill the boat freezer up to the brink with tuna.
Big game fishing will surely leave you exhausted once you return in the late afternoon or early evening, but we are confident that you will be swimming in the new memories you create that day.
To make your trip even more fulfilling, you can opt for a 3- or 4-course dinner, which will be prepared for you by a private chef on the boat. And to quench your thirst, you will also be served a wine of your choosing.
You can fill out the inquiry form, and we will contact you on the topic to provide you with more information.
Fish
Atlantic Bluefin tuna is the main species of tuna found in the Mediterranean sea, and with that, in the Adriatic. With the oldest specimens being more than 50 years old and weighing more than 300 kg, this fish is one of the greatest predators who dwell in this part of the ocean.
This predator is a competitor of tuna, but it’s not as widely spread in the Adriatic sea, leaving more living space for its contestant.
The Mahi-mahi or dolphinfish is a less known inhabitant of the Adriatic sea, as it is usually associated with tropical places due to its diverse colors. On its body, you can find a mixture of gold, green and yellow, with some silver added on the belly.
Fishing captains
Captain Pero is a fishing enthusiast who grew up by the sea and has been in love with fishing since he was a little boy. Progressing from fishing for small fish without a boat, he is now a successful big-game angler with numerous awards from Wicked Tuna Croatia. He works near the town of Dubrovnik. There is no better combo than visiting the historical town and then going fishing for the prehistoric ocean predator with Pero.

Things to know
The price is per boat, no matter how many anglers are fishing. If there’s not enough of you to fill the boat, there’s a chance during high season to join more individuals until the boat is full and then split the expenses. Fill out the contact form for more information.
If the forecast is not suitable for fishing (lots of rain, big waves) and the captain decides it’s not safe to go fishing, the trip is postponed or canceled and you get a refund.
You’ll need proper clothing, sunscreen and lots of enthusiasm. The complete list can be found here.
Your captain is going to be the captain of the ship. Captains have immense knowledge of the terrain they’re fishing, they know the secret spots and location of the fish so you’ll have the best chance of catching a good fish.
You can choose the trip that is closest to you or if you specifically like one of our captains, you can also take a drive to the harbor where his boat is docked and join him. List of tuna fishing captains
Your fishing permit is already included in the price.
This differs from trip to trip. On most trips, you get drinks and snacks, on some even a proper meal, but that does not apply for all charters. To be sure, check the details of your trip.
If you want to book accommodation before or after the fishing trip, let us know and we will organize your stay.
