Deep Sea Fishing

Do battle with the marine life of the Mediterranean in this Barcelona deep sea fishing experience, that pits you in a fair fight with some of the fastest fins in the West. You'll charter a skippered boat for the day and sail out into deep waters (between 60 and 200m) 12 nautical miles from the coast, before weighing anchor and casting your hook out to sea. With some expert guidance you've got a genuine chance of reeling in garfish, hake, sea bass and more - and if you don't get lucky you can always practice those fishermen's tales on the way back to Barcelona. A fantastic day out which is as much as about camaraderie, Spanish sunshine, the majesty of the ocean, cold beers and the chance to spot whales, dolphins and turtles swimming in the surf, as it is about the big catch. The experience is suitable for both novices and expert fishers, and includes licenses, rods, live bait and all the equipment you need for trolling, ground-fishing and spinning (three different techniques you'll get to try). The price ranges from 87.5 to 145 euros per person, making this one of the best value angling experiences on the Costa Brava. Simply email us to book or for more info. Available year-round thanks to the great local weather.

Great sports fishing and not badly priced if you go in a group

I did this last year with two buddies from New York. It felt like a great adventure at the time and we were just reminiscing about it a couple of days back (especially the huge tuna that got away!). We're thinking about coming back in September... will the weather still be great? It was perfect in April last year.

Awesome. We wanted to do something a bit different, and dare I say it, classier, for our Barcelona stag weekend so I chose deep sea fishing. I was a bit nervous that some of the other guys might not like it but was amazing day out and something I'm sure we'll talk about for years to come. We did actually manage to hook a decent-sized tuna fish, which was more than I was expecting... that gave us a real rush I must say.
