About · Zadar, Croatia
Seventeen years on the Adriatic.
Honesto Maena is a family-run charter based in Zadar. Captain Ivan Horžić has been guiding professionally on these waters for 17+ years — from light-tackle days inside the islands to bluefin marathons offshore.
The Captain
Capt. Ivan Horžić
Born and raised on the Dalmatian coast. Father, husband, and full-time fisherman.
+385 95 911 0804"I've fished these islands since I was a kid. I know where the tuna come up in June, where the amberjack hold in winter, and which reefs to skip when the bura blows. That's the difference between a day on the water and a day of fishing."
Ivan specializes in extreme Croatian adventures — bluefin tuna on stand-up gear, deep jigging for amberjack and dentex, and popping the surface breaks for big bonito. Trips are run with patience and zero nonsense, suitable for serious anglers and curious first-timers alike.
