About this experience
The waters off south-west Gran Canaria are one of the most respected sport fishing grounds in Europe. The island is surrounded by steep drop-offs reaching 1,000 m very close to shore, a perfect habitat for big species like blue marlin, bluefin tuna, dorado, wahoo and barracuda.
We sail from Puerto de Mogán with a private boat just for your group, a professional skipper who knows the best fishing spots by season, rods, tackle and bait ready, and technical guidance throughout the trip. Suitable for beginners (we teach you from scratch) and also for experienced anglers looking for a big-game day.
Pick between half day (4 hours, morning or afternoon departure) or full day depending on how much you want to fish. All legal-species fish caught are yours. It is one of the most authentic ways to experience the Canarian sea, away from classic tourist routes.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a fishing licence?
No, the boat is licensed so you can fish on board. No paperwork on your side.
What about the fish we catch?
Legal-species catches are yours. We can clean and cut part of the fish on board.
What if we do not catch anything?
Fishing is never guaranteed, but the skipper picks the spot of the day to maximise catches. Rarely do we come back empty-handed.
How many can come?
Up to 8, although for active fishing we recommend 4–6 so everyone can participate comfortably.
What about seasickness?
The south-west coast is usually calm. If sensitive, take a pill before boarding. No refund for seasickness once on board.
Suitable for kids?
Yes, from around age 8. For younger kids we recommend a standard private tour instead.

"Picamos tres dorados grandes y un atún. El patrón sabe dónde buscar y monta los aparejos al momento. Muy buena experiencia, volveremos en verano."
"Primera vez pescando en altura. El patrón nos enseñó desde cero y pillamos un marlín mediano, lo soltamos. Día memorable."
"Barco cómodo, material en perfecto estado y trato cercano. Llevamos a los niños (10 y 13) y disfrutaron un montón."
