    La nostra prima esperienza di pesca in mare

    3/4 Day Trip on October 25, 2026 • 4 adults

    È stata la nostra prima esperienza di pesca in mare e ci siamo divertiti tantissimo! Abbiamo trascorso una bellissima giornata in famiglia, vivendo qualcosa di nuovo e davvero emozionante. Siamo riusciti a pescare due lampughe e anche due tonni, che abbiamo naturalmente rilasciato in mare, come previsto dalle regole. All'andata il mare era un po' mosso, mentre al ritorno è stato più tranquillo. Il capitano è stato molto gentile, disponibile e professionale, facendoci sentire a nostro agio anche se eravamo alla nostra prima esperienza. Seppur con poche catture, è stata una bellissima avventura e un'esperienza che ricorderemo con piacere. Ci piacerebbe sicuramente ripeterla! Consigliatissima a chi vuole trascorrere qualche ora diversa dal solito, immerso nella bellezza del mare! p.s. In mare la temperatura può essere molto diversa e, con il vento, si può sentire parecchio freddo.

    Mission Accomplished!

    Big Game Trip on June 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    After exploring many options and with a little help from Gemini AI, decided on this Charter to get my 14 year old son into salt water fish. I’ve been serious fisherman my entire life but have limited salt water experience or knowledge. My son hooked up and landed a roughly 10kg (22 lbs) Bonito. Got some great pictures and had a swim in the blue water around 11km (7 miles) from shore. The bite was slow on our day out, but the crew was determined. Mission Accomplished. Would have loved a little more action, but it’s called fishing, not catching! Great experience! Beautiful fish! Book it!

    Fantastic trip for big game enthusiasts!

    Big Game Trip on June 18, 2025 • 4 adults

    Dario and Alessandro were great hosts and made sure everybody on board were comfortable and familiar with the basics. My son caught his first ever Bonito which was a good size too. Both hosts were very friendly and knew exactly where the big game fish were. We would definitely book again if we ever visit Rome again. Thanks guys from us in England🙂

    Fantastic fishing trip!

    3/4 Day Trip on September 13, 2025 • 2 adults

    They made it easy for my 73 year old grandma and I to go fishing. We caught well over 50 fish. I will say if you do plan on handling the fish yourself I would recommend wearing not so good clothing or bring an extra pair of clothes. They even made us a reservation at a nearby restaurant that cooked the food for us, and it was amazing!

    Great easy day on the sea, with happy outcome

    3/4 Day Trip on August 4, 2025 • 2 adults

    My Girlfriend and me went on the sea with Alessandro after an easy planning. Although the wind wasn’t on our side he stayed patient and we managed to catch a slob of a bluefish near the coast. We had a really fun, relaxing and successful day with help of Alessandro. We can recommend for anyone and are heading to come again some time🤙🤙

    Mahi Mahi x 12

    3/4 Day Trip on October 19, 2025 • 2 adults

    We went out with Alessandro on a beautiful day in October. The sky was blue and the sea was calm. We went to a few different fishing holes, and eventually found the mahi mahi! This fishing trip was a gift for my son's 12th birthday, and we caught 12 mahi mahi in total. A great day of fishing.
