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 from a nearby marina, and sail out into deep waters several 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 even big game like tuna (for the latter we suggest you choose charter Boat 1 for the full 9 hours). And if you don’t get lucky you can always practice those fishermen’s tales on the way back to Barcelona!

With some expert guidance you’ve got a genuine chance of reeling in garfish, hake, sea bass and even big game like tuna…

Overall the activity offers a fantastic day out full of camaraderie, Spanish sunshine, the majesty of the ocean, cold beers and the chance to spot whales, dolphins and turtles swimming in the surf – and one of the highlights will be cooking the fish you catch afterwards at a local Catalan restaurant.
