Fishing in Batumi
Fishing in Batumi on a boat or yacht with a captain: 15 vessels, gear included, from 500 GEL for 2 hours for the whole boat. Compare capacity and pick the craft that fits your group.
How the trip works
- Meet at Batumi yacht club pier; the captain hands out the gear.
- A 15-20 minute run along the shore to the spot, usually a drop-off for horse mackerel.
- A stop with rods in the water: fishing, swimming, photos. The captain helps with technique.
- Return to the pier or get off near the fish market, where the catch can be cleaned and cooked.
How much it costs
The price is for the whole vessel for 2 hours, not per person. The catalog has 15 boats up to 50 guests, from 500 GEL. For a group of 4-8 people it is often cheaper than a per-person tour: you charter the boat and split the sum.
Included
- Captain and choice of fishing spot
- Rods and sabiki rigs on board
- Life jackets
- Help with technique, even on a first trip
Not included
- Hotel transfer
- Food and drinks unless arranged separately
- Cooking the catch at the fish market
- A guaranteed catch: the bite depends on weather and season
Yacht fishing in Batumi
Yacht fishing in Batumi is a private run on the Black Sea: you take the whole vessel, not a seat in a group. The captain goes to a spot 15-20 minutes out, gear is on board. From a yacht it is easier to leave the sightseeing boats by the pier and sit on a drop-off where horse mackerel hold.
A boat is better if everyone actually fishes: less deck, the captain is closer, rods are easier to set. A yacht fits a mixed group: some people fish, the rest swim, sit in the shade and watch the city from the water. Some yachts have a toilet; on larger decks there is room for rods and for guests who just want to be at sea.
How to choose a boat or yacht
- Count the guests. For 2-6 people who will fish, take a boat. For a group of 8-20 or more where not everyone fishes, look at a yacht.
- Look at the deck, not only the price: you need space for rods without crowding, and jackets for everyone.
- Go out with a captain. He picks the spot for the day and weather, shows the sabiki, and decides whether to go if there is swell.
15 boats and yachts for fishing
Price is for 2 hours for the whole boat. Gear is included. Pick a vessel by capacity and contact the owner directly.
What fish, and when they bite
This is boat fishing on the Black Sea, not from the boulevard. The main summer catch is horse mackerel on a sabiki. Morning from 7:00 and evening are usually calmer than midday.
| Fish | Season | Best time |
|---|---|---|
| Horse mackerel | May - October | Morning and evening |
| Mackerel | June - September | Daytime |
| Mullet | May - November | Daytime |
| Bluefish | August - November | Morning and evening |
| Bonito | Late August - October | Daytime |
People also fish from shore in Batumi, but that is a different format: breakwaters, sabiki from the rocks, no boat. This catalog is sea fishing with a captain.

Брали Happy Shark на компанию: трое ловили, остальные купались. Капитан нашёл точку, ставрида шла плотно, даже те кто не планировал ловить встали с удочкой. Спокойный выход, жилеты сразу выдали.

Первая рыбалка в жизни, переживала что будет скучно. На Barsika места хватило на нашу четвёрку, капитан показал самодур и не торопил. Клюнуло уже через полчаса, уехали с уловом и фото Батуми с воды.

Вышли в 7 утра на катере AL KHALEEJ. Капитан сразу поставил на свал, снасти выдал на борту. За два часа наловили ставриды на ужин, сын первый раз держал удочку и тоже поймал. Вернулись к рыбному рынку, там почистили.
