Spearfishing Safari in Croatia - Zadar Archipelago
Feel Adriatic Nature, among other services, offers more experienced individuals who wish to experience spearfishing in the beautiful and diverse waters of the Zadar islands in the company of the experienced spearfisher and spearfishing coach, Danijel Babin.
He has extensive knowledge of the terrain that provides the right conditions for various underwater spearfishing techniques, such as shallow stalking, hole/cave spearfishing, and deep ambush, resulting in a diverse range of catches of various first-class fish.
Depending on the size of the group, the spearfishing safari is conducted with a 6-meter or 8-meter speed boat. The only equipment you need to have is your diving suit, and for the rest of the spearfishing equipment, you can ask us for details. Sufficient experience is required, and the spearfishing safari is not recommended for beginners. A fishing license, obtainable online, is necessary.
There is an option for private accommodation and transportation to the speed boat. The maximum number of divers is 4. Bringing fruits, dried fruits, water, juice, a towel, a windbreaker, and a hat is recommended.
Diving takes place at top-notch locations and micro-positions where encounters with fish are very likely. Locations are chosen based on the individual diver’s style and, of course, their fitness level and the season and weather conditions.
Spearfishing in Croatia: licence and rules
Spearfishing in Croatia is open to visitors, but it is regulated. Before your safari, make sure these points are covered:
- Licence: every diver needs a valid sea fishing licence that covers speargun fishing. Daily, multi-day and annual licences can be bought online from the Ministry of Agriculture’s Directorate of Fisheries. Send us your dates and we will point you to the right one.
- Breath-hold only: spearfishing is allowed only while freediving. Scuba or any other breathing apparatus is not permitted.
- Daylight only: underwater fishing is allowed from sunrise to sunset, with a marker buoy.
- Catch limit: the daily limit is 5 kg per person, and the catch may not be sold.
- Protected areas: national parks such as Kornati have their own rules, and harbours and bathing beaches are closed to fishing in summer. Safari locations are chosen in areas open to spearfishing.
Rules can change, so check the current regulations with the Directorate of Fisheries before you travel.
