Looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in Istria? Join us on a private fishing tour starting from Valbandon, a charming coastal village near Fažana – gateway to Brijuni National Park.

Our fishing trip takes you to some of the richest and most secluded fishing spots in the Fažana Channel, around the Brijuni Islands, and along the Pula breakwater – known for their diversity of marine life.

The tour is led by Stefano and Valter, a father-son team of experienced professionals:

Stefano is a marine biologist, certified fishing coach, long-time member of the Croatian national team, and multiple world champion in sport fishing from anchored boats.
Valter, his father and mentor, is also a masters-level competitor.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, this is a great opportunity to learn from the best, enjoy nature, and spend quality time with your family. Children are very welcome!

Our tours last about 3 hours. If you choose an evening tour, it often ends with a stunning sunset behind the Brijuni Islands, and with a bit of luck, dolphins might make an appearance. If you prefer a morning tour, you'll enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the Fažana Channel and the calm, crystal-clear sea. Morning tours are available only on Saturdays and Sundays.

What's included in the price?
-> Fishing license
-> Professional equipment (rods, reels, bait)
-> Refreshments (drinks and snacks)
-> Guide and instruction

Just show up – we provide everything else!
Book your tour today and discover the Adriatic in a truly special way!

    Buntgemischt bei super Bedingungen!

    3 Hour Trip (PM) on August 5, 2026 • 1 adult

    Der Trip war super organisiert. Von der Buchung, über den Treffpunkt bis zur Action auf See. Das Auto kann kostenfrei am Steg in der Marina in Valbandon geparkt werden. Wir haben uns auf das Grundangeln konzentriert. Dabei sind wir 2 Hotspots angefahren, die reichlich Fisch und Artenvielfalt brachten. Leider ist mir ein Drachenkopf ausgeschlitzt, aber das gehört nunmal dazu. Zu allen Fischen gab es Infos vom Profi Stefano, der mit seinem Vater dafür gesorgt hat, das der Ausflug in perfekter Atmosphäre bei Sonnenuntergang ein Highlight meines diesjährigen Urlaubes in Kroatien geworden ist...Macht weiter so, klare Weiterempfehlung...👌

    Very positive experience

    3 Hour Trip - Family (PM) on August 11, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We booked a family trip for 2 adults and 13 year-old. Very nice trip- good for both experienced and not experienced anglers! During the trip we caught around 60 fish from 13 different species. We were lucky to catch a small tuna fish! The wife was happy with the beautiful sunset view 😉

    Memorable Time for the Whole Family

    3 Hour Trip - Family (PM) on June 29, 2026 • 4 adults

    We caught a large variety of fish, and Captain Stefano was very knowledgeable about each species. He made my son's 17th birthday unforgettable. You do not have to be a fishing expert to have a wonderful time. Highly recommended for novice and experts alike!

    Great fishing trip in Croatia!

    3 Hour Trip (PM) on May 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    The captain was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We caught several small fish and enjoyed the beautiful views. A highlight was being able to watch the sunset from the boat in the evening. Snacks and drinks were provided, which was a nice touch. We definitely recommend this trip and would love to come back again!

    Great fishing trip

    3 Hour Trip (PM) on July 12, 2025 • 1 adult

    My son had a great fishing trip, where he caught many fish of different sizes. The highlight was a big eel. The skipper was skilled and super nice. We got different food and drinks during the whole trip. It was also a great trip, and we saw a dolphin.

    Fantastic 3-Hour+ Fishing Trip

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son and I had a very fun and amazing time on our 3-hour fishing trip with Stefano Erman and his father. They were both incredibly kind and attentive to every detail, perfectly adapting to our specific needs and making the whole experience highly enjoyable and truly unforgettable. The trip was very dynamic, and we had lots of catches! Since we were interested in learning more, they took the time to show us different techniques and gave us several great tips for sea fishing. To top it all off, they even cleaned the fish we caught and packed it up for us to take away. I highly recommend booking with them if you are looking for a great fishing experience. Thank you, Stefano e Valter!

Fantastic fishing adventure!
3 Hour Trip (PM) on July 10, 2026 • 2 adults

We had a wonderful and very successful fishing trip with Stefano. He was always dedicated to making sure we caught fish and took us to several different fishing spots throughout the evening. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. We can highly recommend Stefano to anyone looking for a great fishing guide, and we would love to come back for another trip in the future!

An absolutely amazing fishing trip! Captain Valter and Captain Stefano are both incredibly kind and friendly people. I had so much fun and caught some great fish!

Alles in allem Top, wer einmal Fische fangen will und das Zappeln in der Rute spüren möchte und noch keine Erfahrung mim Angeln hat, ist es wirklich TipTop. Ich habe zwar Erfahrung im Angeln ( sowohl Süß als auch Salzwasser) aber die zwei machen es wirklich Grandios. Grüße gehen raus und ein dickes Petri Heil 🎣
