Kayak Fishing in Cavtat: Pedal-Powered Duo Adventures from Tiha Bay
Pedal your way out of Tiha Bay on a family-friendly, three-hour kayak fishing tour that pairs Hobie pedal kayaks with fishfinders and guided local knowledge. Expect easy paddling, hands-free casting and chances at sea bream, mackerel and bass along Cavtat’s rocky coast.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate and pack snacks
Bottled water is included but bring extra snacks and a small cooler if you plan to keep fish; energy keeps you steady while pedaling and casting.
Sun protection is non-negotiable
Wear SPF, a brimmed hat and polarized sunglasses—the Adriatic reflects intense sunlight even on breezy days.
Watch the wind forecast
The bura can come up quickly and make the sea choppy; check conditions and be prepared to reschedule if the operator cancels for safety.
Secure your catch and gear
Use the provided net and keep bait and sharp hooks stowed when moving; pedal rigs give stability but sudden turns can jostle equipment.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Paddle close to the small islet of Supetar for quiet coves and good snorkeling visibility
- •Early-morning drift near the southern headlands reveals shallow reefs where small schools of mackerel feed
Wildlife
- •Mediterranean gulls
- •Occasional Adriatic conger or small schooling mackerel
Conservation Note
Respect catch limits and local regulations; leave no trace—plastic and fishing line are harmful to coastal wildlife and traps on reefs.
Cavtat traces back to the Roman settlement Epidaurum; its harbor has been a maritime hub for centuries, with a local culture built around fishing and seafaring.
