Approximately 20 nautical miles off the northern coast of Mallorca is one of the best areas to fish for blue fin tuna in the Mediterranean, so much so, you're almost guaranteed a catch. Tramuntana Tours' deep sea fishing trips start in the Port of Soller. It is here where you will board one of their two specialist fishing boats - a Rodman 800 and an Altair 8 - equipped with 30lb Shimano Tiagra fishing rods, 20lb Shimano Tiagra reels and 30lb nylon, to ensure a fair battle between fish and fisherman.
It's a 2 hour trip from Puerto Soller to reach the fishing grounds. Once in waters around 1000 metres deep, you will begin to set the outrigger booms, rods, lures, belts and clamps, in preparation for the first bite. When it arrives, it is normally followed by 2 or 3 more. That's when the fun and combat begins! If you like you can keep some of the captured fish, however all tuna fish under 30 kilos (66lbs) must be returned to the sea. Coastal fishing trips are limited to a maximum of 6 people per boat and only 4 people can fish at a time.
A fishing trip along the coast gives you the chance to catch the following shoreline fish varieties - scorpionfish, gilthead seabream, painted comber, rainbow wraffe, red mullet and grouper.
Tramuntana Tours offers a combined fishing & pleasure trip for those who want try their hand at catching a few fish but also want to enjoy a leisurely cruise. You will start with a few hours fishing early in the morning (the best time to get a good catch.) and then a cruise along the coast to one of the many coves, where you can have a swim and snorkel. Then on to a leisurely lunchstop at one of the numerous coastal restaurants, before returning to Puerto Soller.
