Deep Sea Fishing in Gran Canaria — Fishing Trips from Puerto de Mogán
The waters off Mogán are world-renowned as one of the finest big game fishing grounds in the Atlantic. Join AquaFun for an unforgettable day chasing marlin, tuna, dorado and other pelagic species in the deep blue waters of Gran Canaria.
Why Mogán Is the Best Fishing Destination in the Canary Islands
Puerto de Mogán, known as the “Venice of the Canaries”, is not only famous for its architectural charm but also as one of Gran Canaria’s most important fishing ports. Its privileged location on the island’s southwest corner provides rapid access to deep waters where the Atlantic’s great pelagic species thrive.
The Gulf Stream and the trade winds create an exceptional marine ecosystem off the Mogán coast, attracting species such as blue marlin, white marlin, bluefin tuna, bigeye tuna, dorado (mahi-mahi), wahoo and many more. These conditions make Mogán a regular host of international big game fishing championships.
Types of Fishing Available
- Big Game Fishing: The star experience. Half-day or full-day trips targeting marlin, tuna and other large pelagics in deep waters using trolling with lures and live bait.
- Bottom Fishing: Ideal for beginners and families. We anchor over reefs and rocky bottoms home to bream, grouper, parrotfish and other demersal species of Canarian waters.
- Coastal Trolling: We sail along the Mogán coast dragging lures to catch bonito, barracuda, amberjack and yellowtail. An exciting and accessible intermediate option.
Regardless of your experience level, our captain and crew will guide you throughout the day, teaching you the right techniques and helping you make the most of every catch.
