Highlights
Outing Highlights
Tuna, Wahoo, Dorado and the Occasional Marlin
The trip focuses on troll fishing for pelagic species common around Gran Canaria—tuna, dorado (mahi‑mahi), wahoo and even marlin—using techniques and tackle suited to those fast, surface‑feeding fish.
All Fishing Equipment Provided
Everything you need to fish is supplied aboard: rods, reels and, where appropriate, electric reels for deeper work—so you only need to bring clothing and enthusiasm.
Nearshore Trolling with Optional Deep‑Water Work
Trips are primarily trolling in the productive waters off Gran Canaria, with light‑tackle bottom fishing available; if weather permits the crew can push out toward La Gomera for serious deep‑water (‘Gran Fondo’) fishing in the 400–600m range.
What the day feels like
What it Feels Like on Deck
Three hours aboard a private boat means concentrated action: a quick briefing, lines in the water as the captain works productive corridors, and an easygoing camaraderie among your group as you rotate spots and handle hookups. The captain adapts the plan to the day—switching between trolling and lighter bottom rigs or, if conditions allow, heading farther afield for deep‑water opportunities—while the boat supplies food and drinks so the focus stays on fishing.
