Questions
Fishing charter FAQ
The questions we are actually asked, answered without marketing. If yours is not here, write to us and we will answer it properly.
Do you guarantee a catch?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. No system guarantees a fish. What we can do is spend fewer hours over dead water and more where the good conditions come together, which is what actually changes a day.
What is included in the price?
The boat for your group alone, the captain and crew, all rods, reels and terminal tackle, bait, ice for your catch, and the licences needed to fish from the boat. Food and drink beyond water and soft drinks are not included.
Do I need a fishing licence?
Not personally. Fishing from our boat is covered by the vessel’s own authorisation. If you want to fish from shore during your stay, that is a separate personal licence you would arrange yourself.
Can I keep what I catch?
Blue marlin is always released, without exception. Bluefin tuna is governed by the ICCAT regime in force, which we explain before you book. Other species such as dorado, wahoo, yellowfin and amberjack can be kept within sensible limits agreed on the day.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety decides. If the captain judges that conditions do not allow us to go out safely, we reschedule or refund the deposit. That call belongs to the captain and it is final, because no fish is worth an unsafe day.
I get seasick. Can I still come?
Yes, but tell us in advance. Take medication the night before rather than in the morning, eat something light before boarding, and we will plan a shorter run and calmer water where possible.
Can I bring children?
Yes. Tell us their ages when booking so we can plan a suitable trip. A half day in calmer water is usually the right call, and dorado are the ideal first big-game fish.
What should I bring?
Soft-soled shoes, sun protection, a hat, sunglasses, a light waterproof layer, and any medication you need. Everything else is on board.
How far in advance should I book?
For the spring bluefin window and for summer marlin, as early as you can. Those are narrow seasons and the good dates go first.
How does payment work?
A 400 € deposit confirms the date. The balance is paid on board on the day of the trip.
We don't wait for the fish. We follow them.
