The Fishing: A Hands-On Adventure
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a complete novice, the expert captain is there to guide you through the process.

The captain’s guidance makes this activity accessible to children and adults alike, making it a great choice for families or groups of friends.
Expect to fish for common Mediterranean species like sea bass, grouper, or bream—what you catch depends on the season, but the thrill of pulling in your own fish is universal. The reviews are full of praise for the captain’s knowledge and patience, with one traveler noting, “Many thanks to the guys on board,” and highlighting how much they enjoyed the experience.
From Catch to Plate
The highlight—literally—is the culinary part of the tour. After catching your fish, the captain will clean, prepare, and grill it right on the boat.
