Fishing Formats

Nearshore Fishing

A good option for beginners, families and guests who want a shorter and calmer fishing experience close to the coast. This format combines fishing with beautiful views of Budva and the surrounding coastline.

Open Sea Fishing

A more active format for guests who want to go farther from the shore and experience real Adriatic fishing. This option is better for longer trips and guests who are comfortable spending more time at sea.

Trolling

Trolling is a popular technique for targeting active predatory fish. The boat moves while fishing lines are set behind the vessel, making it a dynamic and enjoyable way to fish.

Live Bait Fishing

Live bait fishing is a strong option for targeting larger fish, depending on the season and sea conditions. It is suitable for guests who want a more authentic local fishing experience.

Tuna Fishing

Tuna fishing is a more specialized format and depends on the season, weather and trip duration. It is best suited for guests who want a more serious fishing adventure.

Possible Fish Species

Depending on the season and fishing method, guests may have the chance to target different Adriatic species, including:

Amberjack
Dentex
Swordfish
Bluefin tuna
Other seasonal Adriatic fish

The final catch always depends on the weather, season, sea conditions and fish activity on the day of the trip.

The fishing trip may include:

Fishing equipment
Bait or live bait options
Captain’s assistance
Local knowledge of fishing spots
Snacks and drinks
