Pelagic Aquatek Goione BFT UV Fishing Shirt UPF 50+

Our take

You will appreciate the Aquatek for its ultra-soft feel and a cut you forget from the very first outing. The bluefin tuna illustration by Steve Goione gives it character without compromising on sun protection. It is our long-sleeve shirt of choice for long days under a scorching sun.

UPF 50+ sun protection for long days at sea

Comfort and temperature regulation in full heat

The Aquatek nylon fabric was developed to offer, with a UPF 50+, an effective barrier against UV rays, essential during long exposure in open environments. Its structure promotes quick sweat wicking and keeps body temperature stable even during a hard fight. The ventilation openings spread across the garment ensure continuous airflow in calm weather. You stay focused on lure presentation rather than the heat, and you can complete your outfit with a fishing cap or hat for full protection.

Big game art by Steve Goione

This edition honours the bluefin tuna, an emblem of oceanic power, through an illustration by artist Steve Goione. The motif gives real identity to a piece that is above all technical, made for sport saltwater fishing. The cut benefits from a 4-way stretch that follows every movement, from repeated casting to netting, without ever creating a pressure point. The water and stain repellent finish protects the fabric from spray and splashes, and you will find the same workmanship across the other UV shirts in the range.
