Adriatic Sea Fishing

Climb aboard a fishing charter to try your skills against the local mackerel!

Note: This event has already passed.

See what it's like to fish on a charter fishing boat! The boat will anchor off of a known fishing area and stay stationary for several hours while we fish. The trick for this type of fishing is to set your hook at the proper depth and be ready for when you feel a strike. We can promise you a fun day with fresh air on the sea, but we cannot guarantee that you will catch fish. This type of fishing requires patience and attention to detail.

Please note: You will be fishing approximately one meter from the person on each side of you. If you have a strike, let the fishermen on each side of you know that you have a fish on your line. It is expected that these fishermen will quickly reel in their lines to allow you to get the fish into the boat, but most importantly prevents several people from tangling their lines.
