Boat Fishing Trips on the Costa Brava
The Costa Brava is one of the best sport fishing destinations in the Mediterranean: clear water, rocky bottoms close to the coast and deep areas just a few miles from Palamós. That's why you can fish for all kinds of species here all year round, from squid and inshore species to big bluefin tuna.
At Divateam Fishing we run boat fishing trips with a skipper for all levels: experienced anglers looking for a Big Game fight, groups of friends wanting a day of jigging and spinning, or families getting started with the little ones. Our skippers know every spot in the area and teach you the technique on every trip.
Fishing techniques we use
Depending on the trip and the season, we go trolling, spinning, popping, jigging and light jigging, and fish with live bait, on the bottom and deep drop with electric reels, and also for squid. In Big Game we chum the area with sardines and use stand-up gear to fight big tuna safely.
Prefer to head out on your own?
We also have boat rental in Palamós to discover coves at your own pace, and sport fishing courses to improve your technique.
