The 4 Best Fishing and Snorkeling Trips in Italy

1.Fishing, Snorkelling & Dolphin Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 56 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $78Our pick

Set out from Vibo Marina for about three hours of coastal fishing, snorkeling, and whale and dolphin watching. The English-language experience accepts up to 12 people, returns to the marina, and may offer pickup. Sea life sightings are possible but not guaranteed, so book it for the full mix of activities rather than dolphins alone.

“Schöne Tour. Waren mit unseren 2 Kindern da. Alles wie beschrieben, hatten leider kein Glück und konnten keine Delphine sichten.”

2.Cefalù: boat trip with fishing, coastal tour, snorkeling, and lunch on board

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · 6 hours · from $94

Join Giovanni aboard a 10-meter fishing boat for six hours along the Cefalù coast. Watch nets come in, learn how fishermen read the sea, swim and snorkel near Santa Lucia, then enjoy bruschetta, pasta, and fried fish with a local drink. The boat carries up to 10 people, but has no toilet.

“Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Giovanni qui nous a cuisiné un délicieux repas avec les poissons et gambas péchés ensemble au filet le matin même. Le bateau permet d’accueillir un petit groupe de 9 personnes et propose toutes les commodités pour profiter du large et d’un repas confortablement assis. C’est un excellent rapport qualité prix avec un natif de l’île tellement sympathique. Merci encore Giovanni ☺️”

3.Pizzo: Fishing, Snorkeling, Dolphin Watching

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 20 reviews · 3 hours · from $82

Join skipper Daniele Greco’s small-group cruise from Vibo Marina for trolling, dolphin watching, and a swim near Pizzo’s Piedigrotta cave-chapel. The boat carries up to 12 people, with fishing and snorkeling equipment included. Dolphins are wild, so sightings are possible but never promised. Guides speak English, German, and Italian.

“výlet člunem v malé skupině byl příjemný, nikdo ovšem nechytil ani rybku, delfíny jsme nepotkali. To bychom oželet, výhledy z člunu na pobřeží a Pizzo pěkné, ale určitě nám chybělo drobné občerstvení ( stačilo by úplně jednoduché - pár plátků salámu, bruscheta, ovoce a sklenka vínka) a třeba i klidná náladová hudba).To by určitě vyrovnalo zklamání z toho, že jsme nepotkali žádné delfíny). Místo na šnorchlování také nebylo vybrané nejlépe, nepochopili jsme, proč kapitán nezastavil cca 100 m dříve po pobřeží, kde byla zajímavá posvátná jeskyně a svatyně. Přístav ve Vibo Marina a možnost se občerstvit před a po plavbě v malém, příjemném baru přímo na molu s nádhernou vyhlídkou…”
