If you’re craving gorgeous waters, the spray of the open sea, and the scream of the reel as you hook a big one, you’re looking for Pevea Big Game Fishing Charters! Captain Emiliano Schilke has a lifetime of experience fishing these waters and is more than happy to share his expertise with his customers.

You’ll fish from a 35’ long vessel, manufactured by Donelle. Originally a Lobster-Tuna boat built in Canada, she is very seaworthy, stable, and comfortable. She can comfortably accommodate up to 10 anglers at the same time. Fully equipped for serious offshore fishing, you can find outriggers for trolling, as well as electric reels for deep bottom fishing on board.

The fish you will target are various and prestigious, with the main target being the Bluefin Tuna. You will also go after Amberjacks, Mahi Mahi, Albacore Tunas, False Albacores, Spearfish, Swordfish, Barracuda, and others you may run across. The techniques you’ll use are tried and tested, jigging and spinning with light or heavy tackle, bottom fishing with electric reels, and of course, trolling.

Children of all ages are welcome on Pevea Big Game Fishing Charters, as Capt. Emiliano believes greatly in the educational value of a good sea experience. Snacks are only included on full day trips. Clients can also depart from Monterosso, not just Levanto.

After returning from a hard day’s worth of fishing, Captain Emiliano is proud to offer you a taste of their local wine.

Some years ago i decided to leave my job on our family owned construction company and start a new job as a fishing charters Captain. we are located in Cinque Terre, in the city of Levanto.
