We are Israel and Jose Luis: skippers, anglers, lovers of the Mediterranean. We've been sailing for over a decade — and since 2025 as Rumbo Salou, with Cristina and Mabel also part of the project.
For us the sea isn't a job: it's where we want to be. That's why when you board our boat you'll find something you can't fake — people who love what they do.
Israel and Jose Luis, co-founders of Rumbo Salou
We're not a call-centre company. When you call you speak to one of us, and when you sail you go with one of us. It's that simple.
Professional skipper with experience along the Costa Dorada coast. Knows the coast from Salou and the surrounding spots well — coves, anchorages and corners best enjoyed from the sea. A solid expert in local navigation and the times that suit each area best.
Israel's companion in hundreds of hours at sea. He handles well the different fishing styles practised in the area, as well as the quieter cove routes. His philosophy: that the customer leaves the boat with the feeling of having lived something different from just another tour.
Israel and Jose Luis, each on their own, grow up fishing on the Catalan coast. The hobby turns into passion.
We both obtained the necessary nautical qualifications and spent more than a decade skippering professional boats on the Costa Dorada — hours, tides, storms and hundreds of trips behind us.
Israel and Jose Luis found Rumbo Salou with Cristina and Mabel also part of the project. They buy the Meridiano UNO, a Jeanneau Cap Camarat 8.5 CC, and start offering private trips from Salou Marina. A decade of experience, a new company.
Real reviews from repeat customers, private leisure and fishing charters, tailor-made plans and zero mass tourism. What we've always wanted.
We don't promise what we can't deliver. But these 4 values define every trip we make.
You talk to us from booking to disembarkation. No blind forms, no call centres. You know who's going to skipper the boat.
This isn't our second activity. It's our life. And it shows — in the routes, in how the boat is cared for, in how we treat you on board.
Responsible fishing, catch and release of bluefin tuna, absolute respect for protected areas and the marine fauna of the Mediterranean.
Qualified skippers, premium boat, maintenance up to date and all certifications. Safety is never negotiated.
Our philosophy is simple: that when you get off the boat you feel like you've been in a good place, with good people. For us that's worth more than any review.
The best way to know us is to come aboard. Leisure, fishing or tailor-made plan — your choice.
