About this tour
Spend seven hours fishing the Tyrrhenian waters off northwestern Sicily aboard a 10-metre sport fishing vessel skippered by experienced captains. You'll work the archipelago's prime fishing grounds using techniques tailored to your ability—bolentino, drifting, trawling—targeting everything the Mediterranean offers. The boat carries full safety kit and modern tackle; snacks and drinks fuel the day. This isn't spectating; you're actively fishing, hands on the rod, feeling the strike and fighting your catch.

What to expect
You'll depart on a proper sport fishing boat—not a tourism vessel masquerading as one. The skipper reads conditions and positions you at productive marks where fish actually live. Expect hands-on instruction if you're new to it; experienced anglers will find genuine challenge and rhythm. You'll cast, wait, strike, fight fish. The Mediterranean's pulse comes through the rod. Between bites there's time to watch the shoreline, talk with crew, and eat. By return you'll have saltwater under your fingernails and real stories.
