Adriatic Big Game is a fishing charter that specializes in fishing Tuna out of Vodice in Croatia. Vodice is some 60 kilometers east from Zadar and 80 kilometers west from Split. Captain Anton and his crew will do their best to ensure you have a fun time in the Adriatic and return home with lots of good memories.

You will be fishing aboard the Bakul, a 33’ Benetau motor yacht that’s powered by twin 200 HP Volvo engines. The boat hosts a flybridge, spacious deck, a large lounge with a double bed, two double bedrooms, a shower and a toilet. It’s one of the two best boats for big game chartering in Croatia.

Bakul and its skippers Anton, Tommy, Vice, and Ivan are holders of the highest individual fishing quota for Bluefin Tuna, meaning that caught fish can be pulled in, photographed and portioned out among the guests. Other fish you can find here includes Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Sharks, Swordfish, and more.

When it comes to tuna, the April-May and July-October are the best times to go fishing for big Bluefin Tuna. On the other hand, the end of May and June are good for small Tuna that go from 10-20 kilos in size.

Top quality tackle is standard fare on this boat. This includes five Shimano Tiagra 80 pound reels with 80-pound trolling Penn rods, four 50-pound stand up combos for Tuna, five Shimano 25” reels with 30-50 stand-up rods for smaller Tuna and much more besides. All fishing gear comes included in the price of the trip, along with snacks and drinks. Make sure to bring sunglasses and sunscreen so you can fish in comfort the entire time.
