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 ☺️”

Meet Salvatore, Anna, and the fishing crew at 7:30 a.m. in Sorrento for a full day at sea. You’ll cruise past Capri’s grottoes and Faraglioni, try several fishing methods, swim, and eat a Campania lunch cooked aboard with the day’s modest catch. Choose about two hours on Capri or four hours of fishing.

“Sal was one of the most charismatic and genuine hosts I have come across. It is his families business and it shows. He truly cared about everyone feeling comfortable and having a great time. His crew mate was also excellent. We stayed on board to fish and they were quick to provide instruction and even our 11 year old daughter caught many fish! It was one of our favorite activities here. Highly recommended!”

5.Cefalu: Boat Trip with Fishing, Coastal Tour and Lunch on Board

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $95

Join Giovanni and a small group of up to 10 from Cefalù’s Porto Presidiana at 8:30am. Watch a fisherman haul in nets set the day before, learn about local fishing, swim near Saint Lucia, and eat fresh fish, bruschetta, pasta, and a drink on board.

“A fantastic, relaxing day on the water. We went with our two young sons (2 and 5) and my father, who is 78. Giovanni met us at the dock and took us out to a fishing net in front of Cefalu beach. There were quite a few fish and he talked us through what we caught. We then motored back to a beautiful bay for swimming and lunch. It was super kid/family friendly with a lot of time to spend swimming, sunning and having a delicious lunch and a couple glasses of wine. Can’t recommend highly enough for a low key yet educational and enjoyable day on the water.”
