Food on a Side Fishing Tour: No Breakfast, Bring Your Own
The boat goes out early and nothing to eat comes with the fare. Here is what that means in practice, what you can buy on board, and how to make sure nobody in your party gets hungry before you are ashore again.
Short answer
No food is included on the shared deep-sea fishing morning: there is no breakfast on board and no lunch. You are welcome to bring your own snacks, food and drinks, and cold drinks are on sale on board.
Nothing to eat in the fare
The fare pays for the transfer, the boat, the tackle, the bait and the captain's help. It does not pay for food: no breakfast is handed round and no meal is cooked on board, so whatever you want to eat at sea comes with you.
The boat leaves at 07:00, which for most hotels is before the restaurant opens. Plan on that, and pack something you will actually want to eat at that hour.
What you get for the fare, and what you don't
The shared morning costs €45 per person, the same for every age, plus the €5 sea fee per person in cash on the boat. Bring a little extra cash if you expect to buy cold drinks on board. Unlimited soft drinks can be added on the booking form: €51 a head, not €45.

|---|---|---|
| Food | Nothing | Any food: bring your own |
| Drinks | Only with the soft drinks option chosen at booking | Cold drinks, for sale on board |
| Extras | Rods, lines, fresh bait, the hotel transfer | The €5 sea fee, personal spending, tips |
Bringing your own food and drinks
Bring whatever food and cold drinks you like aboard; nobody minds. A bottle of water per person is the most useful thing to carry; fruit, biscuits or sandwiches from the hotel are easy additions.
If your hotel's restaurant is still closed when you leave, ask reception the evening before whether they can prepare a packed snack. Some do, some do not, and it is far easier to arrange at night than at dawn. Our early start guide has more on the hour you leave.
Eating after you return
Once the boat is alongside at 12:30, the transfer then takes you to your hotel, so lunch is on land, at your hotel or nearby, with the afternoon free. With young children, a snack from your own bag mid-morning makes the wait until lunch much easier.
Food on the private boat
On the private deep-sea fishing boat, at €650 per person plus the €5 sea fee in cash on board, what is served is not something we publish in advance. Ask when you book and we confirm it with you on WhatsApp, together with the start time and meeting point.
