This is the moment you've been waiting for! When the boat stops at the fishing spot, the real adventure begins.

Preparing the Rods

Your guide prepares the rod for you:

Appropriate weight is attached to the line
Bait is attached to the rod tip (live or artificial)
You're shown how to hold it

First Cast and Waiting

You're lowering your rod into the water... The first 10 seconds are complete silence. Then your guide says: "Pull slowly, stop, wait..." This waiting moment is full of patience and excitement!

First Bite Moment - Excitement!

Suddenly your rod is moving! A pulling feeling! That's the moment - first bite! Your heart is racing, your guide is shouting "Pull! Pull! Faster!" Hands might shake a little, but that's normal, everyone feels this way!

When you pull the fish out of the water, cheers erupt! Photos are taken, congratulations are given. You caught your first fish!

Trying Different Techniques

Your guide teaches you different techniques:

Slow pulling - for big fish
Fast pulling - for active fish
Stop and wait - patient hunting

Swimming and Rest Breaks

During the fishing activity, 1-2 swimming breaks are given. Jumping into the turquoise Mediterranean waters is an amazing feeling! Water temperature is usually between 22-26°C, ideal for swimming.

Wearing a life jacket is not mandatory but definitely recommended for non-swimmers. Sunbathing, resting, and chatting on deck are also break activities.

Lunch: Delicacy on Deck (12:30-13:30)

When lunchtime comes, a delicious meal service begins on deck. The menu usually includes:

Main Course

Chicken or fish (caught fish can also be cooked if available)
Rice or pasta

Tea and coffee
Water

Eating with a view is a priceless experience. In open sea, watching fish, with the wind breeze... These moments are immortalized with photos!

Return and Final Moments (14:00-15:30)

After the meal, if there's still time, you can do a bit more fishing. But usually around 14:00-14:30, we head back to the harbor for return.

Cleaning Caught Fish

If you caught fish, your guide cleans and packages the fish for you. So you can take them to your hotel or home.

Final Photos

Photos taken throughout the day are shared, group photo is taken, memories are discussed.

Hotel Return (15:30-16:30)

When the boat docks at the harbor, our transfer vehicle is waiting for you. Tired but happy, you spent a day full of memories. You're dropped off at your hotels.
