Bottom fishing charter
Bottom fishing is the most classic way to fish at sea: we drop the bait down to the rocky reefs and fishing grounds our skipper knows along the Costa del Sol, where sea bream, white seabream, grouper and dentex are waiting. It's a calm, easy-going technique, ideal if you've never held a rod — we bring the boat, the gear and the local knowledge; all you have to do is watch for the bite.

What will you catch?
Depending on the season and the area, it's common to catch reef and bottom species, the most prized in the Mediterranean. Our skipper knows where they move each season, so we never fish blind.
It means dropping the bait right down to the seabed, over the rocky reefs and fishing grounds our skipper knows along the Costa del Sol, where sea bream, white seabream, grouper and dentex live. Once it's down there, you just keep the line tight and watch for the bite.

Yes. Our boat holds a recreational sea-fishing permit, so you don't need a licence of your own to fish on board.
On every trip you'll also be with our skipper, your local fishing guide in Marbella:
None. Rods, bait and tackle are all included in the trip — just come ready to fish.
Yes, even if you've never held a rod. It doesn't take strength or casting technique — it's perfect if you're bringing kids, it's your first time on a fishing boat or you're after a relaxed day at sea.
We set off from Marina La Bajadilla in Marbella and head out to the rocky reefs and bottom-fishing grounds our skipper knows on the Costa del Sol: the spots that work in each season, not a random place.
Marbella's marina is one of the most iconic spots on the Costa del Sol: a lively meeting point for locals and tourists right in the heart of the city. You'll find us at Marina La Bajadilla, 29603 Marbella, Málaga, with easy access by car, taxi or on foot.
Beyond your fishing trip, the marina is a destination in itself, with beachfront restaurants, nautical events and beach clubs. Find out more on the official Marbella marina website.
