We will take you on a traditional fishing trip in the company of a few of the Adriatic fishermen who still catch fish the way they were taught by their forefathers. In addition to fishing in secret locations, you can also take a dip in the crystal-clear coves and dive with dentexes, dreamfish, gilt-head breams and scorpionfish. Accompaniment and full equipment is provided by Fabijan, a veteran skipper and fisherman who will be your host. To top it all off is a finger-licking good local fisherman’s lunch!
