Fishing · FISHING AND SNORKELING TRIPS IN ITALY
This is the shortlist you would send a friend who has never held a rod: 4 fishing and snorkeling trips in Italy worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to check before you commit.
Set out from Vibo Marina for a small-group boat trip along Calabria’s coast. You’ll fish, snorkel, and watch for dolphins and whales during roughly three hours on the water. Pickup is offered, the boat holds no more than 12 people, and the tour runs in English.
“Schöne Tour. Waren mit unseren 2 Kindern da. Alles wie beschrieben, hatten leider kein Glück und konnten keine Delphine sichten.”
Join Giovanni from Cefalù Pescaturismo Melissa for a six-hour coastal trip on a working 10-meter fishing boat. Watch the morning nets come in, hear local fishing stories, swim and snorkel at Santa Lucia, then eat freshly prepared fish, bruschetta, and pasta with a drink.
“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 ☺️”
From Vibo Marina, you’ll troll for tuna or swordfish, search for wild dolphins, and swim near Pizzo’s Piedigrotta cave-chapel. The boat holds no more than 12 people, guides speak English, Italian, and German, and fishing and snorkeling gear are included. Dolphin sightings are never guaranteed.
“Älskade den! Guiderna va super trevliga och hela upplevelsen va otrolig. Vi fick se massa delfiner, snorkla i super blått vatten, sitta och fiska i solen längst bak i båten. Rekommenderar starkt”
Join Captain Sal and his crew from Sorrento for a full day of fishing, swimming, snorkeling, and Capri sightseeing. You can spend time ashore or keep fishing, then enjoy boat-cooked spaghetti, the catch of the day, seasonal food, and limoncello on the return.
“AMAZING experience!! Anna and Sal were wonderful hosts. They shared so much interesting Sorrento history - you felt the passion they have for this beautiful place. From the sight seeing, to the fishing, the visit to Capri, the lovely lunch, visiting the grottos, and the swimming; it will be a day to remember always! Prego!”
Pick a coast, a lake, or a hole in the ice.
