Sandi Radolovič continues the family tradition and employs himself with fishery. His motor boat Zlatoperka is a restored fishing boat, which is a rare specimen of old-time fishing crafts as were used in the past, the so called seiners - "plavarica'' ('parangalo boat'), a great lines fishing vessel to catch anchovies with the "plavarica'' seine for the local fish processing plant 'Delamaris'. Nowadays, during the autumn-winter season the vessel is used for fishing, while from April till end of October, the boat is available for tourists and employed in passenger transport.
With the fishing boat Zlatoperka you can experience and get an insight in how hard the fishing life is. From October to February, you can embark on a fishing boat, with the crew, and take part in traditional fishing technique "kočarjenje" (trawling), i.e. employing the 'koča' (Italian cocchia) net gliding over the sea-bed. While lifting the net, an interesting and diverse fauna of our sea will be displayed before your eyes, including various fish species, squids, cuttlefish, octopus, sea horse, and other.
The company Riba d.o.o. carries on the Slovenian fishing tradition of organized fishing within the Gulf of Trieste. Just until recently it was the only company in our country equipped for bluefish, with midwater pair trawl and two 30m trawling boats. The reduction of their fishing territory and the resulting lower fish catch, along with even higher operating costs brought to a decision to abort this type of fishing. In the last years they were able to catch 450 to 600 tons of fish, on average. The major part of the catch was the small bluefish, such as sardine /pilchard, anchovy, sprat, mackerel and other species. Above all, the sardines were the main input for the production of canned fish, mostly for the famous sardine cans under the Delamaris trademark.
At the moment, their fishing fleet consists of a trawling boat – 'Jež' for bottom trawling, and two smaller boats using driftnets (drive-in nets). A complementary activity of the company is repairing small boats/vessels and other maintenance works, and a very specific activity that is closely linked to fishing – sewing and mending /fixing the fishing nets. These skills, being performed live before your eyes will be very interesting to many visitors.
