Morning Fishing in Limassol Marina: 1-Hour Trolling Adventure
Start your day on the water with a brisk one-hour trolling trip from Limassol Marina. Target bonito and barracuda, sip tea as the city slides astern, and pause for a quick swim in clear Mediterranean water.
The Experience
Before You Go
Sun first thing
Bring broad-spectrum sunscreen and a brimmed hat; early sun on the open water intensifies quickly.
Stabilize for comfort
If you’re prone to seasickness, take motion-sickness medication 30–60 minutes before departure and choose a forward seat with an unobstructed horizon view.
Shoes that grip
Wear non-slip, closed-toe shoes—the deck can be wet when fighting fish or stepping back aboard after a swim.
Photograph the coastline
Charge phones in advance and use a wrist strap or waterproof case; a quick selfie with the marina and luxury yachts makes a great memento.
