Fishing on the island of Mallorca

Fishing in Majorca is not only a tourist activity, but a way of life for many of the lively locals. Being an island, with approximately twenty nautical miles of coastline, there are plenty of places to fish both for sport as well as trade.

Locals and tourists go fishing at any time of the day or night, so be prepared for some action!

Gorgeous big blue fin tuna are abundant in the warm Mediterranean waters around Majorca so you are almost guaranteed a catch – which will be music to the ears of keen fisherman! Other fish varieties you are sure to see biting are scorpionfish, painted comber, red mullet and grouper as well as red mullet which taste delicious.

There are many different types of trips on offer from deep sea fishing to beach fishing and cove fishing in fresh or salt water.

Most deep sea fishing trips start at the Port of Soller and most will come equipped with all the gear you will need; rods, reels, nets, baits, sinkers, sunscreen and snacks. You just bring your lucky charm and some good stories. Tramuntana Tours have some great fishing trips in Majorca so be sure to visit their website for more details.
