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

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

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.”
