More Than Just a Fishing Trip
Our goal isn’t simply to take you fishing. We combine experienced local captains, modern marine technology and carefully selected fishing grounds to give every guest the best possible Mediterranean fishing experience.
Professional Fishing Equipment
Fish with quality rods, reels and tackle maintained for daily use. Whether it’s your first fishing trip or you’re an experienced angler, you’ll have reliable equipment throughout the tour.
Advanced Fish-Finding Technology
Our boats are equipped with professional sonar, radar, GPS and fish-finding systems used by experienced local crews. These technologies help identify underwater structures and active fishing areas, significantly improving your chances of finding fish.
Experienced Local Captains
Every trip is led by captains who know the waters around Side throughout the different seasons. Daily weather, currents and fish activity are all considered before choosing the fishing locations.
Carefully Selected Fishing Grounds
Instead of staying in crowded areas, your captain searches productive offshore locations where rocky seabeds and underwater structures naturally attract Mediterranean fish species.
Suitable for Everyone
No previous fishing experience is required. Beginners receive guidance from the crew, while experienced anglers are free to enjoy a relaxed day targeting Mediterranean species.
Authentic Mediterranean Experience
Beyond fishing, you’ll spend the morning surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery, fresh sea air and the peaceful atmosphere that makes fishing in Side one of the region’s most memorable outdoor activities.
Local insight matters. While no fishing trip can guarantee a catch, combining experienced captains with professional sonar and fish-finding technology gives you a considerably better opportunity to locate active fishing areas than relying on basic equipment or shore fishing alone.
Your Fishing Day, Step by Step
From the moment you’re picked up at your hotel until you return to shore, every part of the experience is carefully planned to give you a relaxed, enjoyable and authentic day on the Mediterranean.
01
Hotel Pickup & Transfer
Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in the Side region. Our team ensures everyone arrives at the harbour on time so the boat can leave during the best morning fishing conditions.
02
Welcome Aboard
After boarding, the captain introduces the boat, fishing equipment and basic safety information. Even if you’ve never fished before, the crew explains everything clearly before departure.
03
Searching for Active Fishing Areas
As the boat heads offshore, the captain monitors professional sonar, radar and GPS equipment together with local sea conditions to locate productive fishing grounds and underwater structures where fish are more likely to gather.
04
Fishing Begins
Once the ideal location is found, the crew prepares your tackle and helps with bait, casting techniques and retrieving your catch. Beginners receive guidance throughout the experience, while experienced anglers can fish independently.
05
Breakfast & Relaxing at Sea
During the morning, guests can enjoy a light breakfast and refreshments while taking in panoramic Mediterranean views. Between fishing sessions there is plenty of time to relax, take photographs and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere offshore.
06
Return to Side Harbour
After an enjoyable morning on the water, the boat returns to Side Harbour where your transfer vehicle is ready to take you comfortably back to your hotel with unforgettable memories of your Mediterranean fishing adventure.
Every fishing trip is different. Weather, sea conditions and seasonal fish activity change from day to day, which is why our captains continuously adapt the route and fishing locations to give guests the best possible experience on every departure.
Fish Species You May Catch Around Side
The waters off the coast of Side are home to a wide variety of Mediterranean fish species. While every fishing trip depends on seasonal conditions and natural fish activity, the following species are among the ones most commonly encountered throughout the fishing season.

Spring and autumn generally offer the most comfortable weather and excellent fishing opportunities, while summer provides calm seas and enjoyable mornings on the Mediterranean.

🌸 Spring (April – May)
As sea temperatures begin to rise, many Mediterranean fish become increasingly active after winter. Mild weather and calmer waters make spring one of the most enjoyable times for both beginners and experienced anglers.
☀️ Summer (June – August)
Early morning departures offer pleasant temperatures and calm seas before the midday heat. Summer provides consistently comfortable conditions for spending several relaxing hours on the Mediterranean.
🍂 Autumn (September – November)
Autumn is considered by many local fishermen to be one of the year’s finest fishing periods. Cooler mornings, stable sea conditions and seasonal fish movement often create excellent opportunities offshore.
Local Captain’s Tip
Fishing conditions are influenced by weather, wind direction, water temperature and seasonal fish movement rather than the calendar alone. Our captains check local marine conditions before every departure and select fishing grounds accordingly, helping guests enjoy the best possible experience each day.
