Zadar · Croatian Adriatic · Est. 2008
Bluefin, amberjack, and the bluest sea in Europe.
Honesto Maena Charters runs sportfishing trips out of Zadar on the Croatian Adriatic — captained by Ivan Horžić, 17 years on these waters. From half-day coastal runs to multi-day big-game expeditions.
What we do
Real Croatian fishing, run by a captain who lives on the sea.
We chase bluefin tuna in the open Adriatic, jig deep reefs for amberjack and dentex, troll for bonito and bluefish, and run light-tackle days inside the Kornati islands. Boat, gear, bait, licence and fuel — included. No hidden fees.
