To get a taste of the stupendous fishing potential Italy has to offer, look no further than Villa Relais & Fishing lodge Il Termine Elba on Elba Island! Captain Matteo Rigali will not only take you to the premier fishing spots, but he also owns luxury fishing lodges on the island. If you're looking for a picture-perfect fishing getaway, Elba is the place to be.

You will start your Tyrrhenian Sea fishing adventure on a 34' Rampage offshore fisher, spacious enough to accommodate up to 4 anglers. The boat is stable, comfortable, and freshly restored in 2023. Top-of-the-line navigational electronics will show you to the best fish hideouts, and twin 500 HP Caterpillar engines will keep you on your prey's hot trail.

Fishing with Capt. Matteo is an all-inclusive experience, so you'll find breakfast, coffee, lunch, snacks, and delicious Elba wine on the boat. The captain takes the comfort of his anglers very seriously and will gladly accommodate you in everything.

Your catch will be as varied as it will be plentiful, and if there's a particular species you'd like to target, your guide will adjust the trip to your needs. You'll find top-rate fishing tackle on board, as well as snorkeling and spearfishing equipment.

On your line, you can expect favorites like White Marlin, Bluefin and Albacore Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Dentex, Snapper, Grouper, and much more. You can keep some of the catch and take it back to the lodge, where Luiza, the friendly in-house cook, will use her magic touch to whip up a delicious dinner after a long day on the water.

If you're interested in booking a multi-day trip, during the high season (from April 8 to November 4), up to 4 anglers can sleep comfortably on the boat. However, during the low season (the rest of the year), the captain can only accommodate up to 3 people on multi-day trips.

Very very very enjoyable family trip!
Half Day Traditional Fishing - 7:00 PM on August 3, 20264 adults

As a family of 4 we had the pleasure to go on an evening trip with Mateo and Silvia. They are really friendly and a pleasure to have as captains. Although the water was really warm (31°c) and the fish therefore very sluggish, Mateo managed to put us on the fish and we still caught a lot! One of my boys was a bit anxious about the big boat and open sea. But with the patient and understanding of Mateo and Silvia he quickly gained confidence and the biggest fish of the trip made him king of the world! With a nice swim at sunset with beautiful Elba as a backdrop our trip was complete! On the way back we got a very delicious Elban Wine and homemade Pecorino, which paired really good and made the trip absolutely unforgettable. We took some of the fish back to our place and used the recipe we got from Silvia and was the best freshest fish we ever had. We enjoyed every second of the trip and when we comeback to Elba we will defenently get in touch with Mateo and Silvia!

An unforgettable experience, from sunrise to sunset
2 Day Sea Wolves Fishing Safari on September 27, 2025

I joined a fishing safari at the end of September: a full day out at sea, from first light at dawn until we headed back at sunset. We caught bogue, bigeye scad, beautiful dentex, and a spectacular common pandora. Matteo is an exceptional captain — knowledgeable, friendly, and with a truly unique understanding of the sea, which he shares with passion and authenticity. And then… his gin and tonics! 😂 'The best gin tonic in land and sea', without a doubt! The day ended with a dinner at the villa featuring the fish we'd just caught, in a relaxed and genuine atmosphere. A real experience, fun and with great human value. Absolutely worth doing again — highly recommended!

2 Day Sea Wolves Fishing Safari on October 1, 2024

I had the most wonderful 2 days experience! I could not believe this would be possible.. I. The beginning I wasn't sure it would be worth the money yet I had so much fun! Explored and learned a lot about different techniques that matteo invented… so many Incredibles hot spots and a wonderful panorama! Slept on the boat super comfortably and enjoyed not only the variety of fished and a couple of big fellows.. but the dinner once arrived with all we fished shared with friends and family. Super suggested

You won't find a more passionate fisherman and marine enthusiast on Elba Island that Captain Matteo Rigali. He's been in love with the sea and its treasures every since he was a boy, and he started fishing when he was only 6 years old. Today, he's been running charters for over 2 decades, and he's a great connoisseur of all the best (and often secret) fishing spots around the island. Capt. Matteo enjoys sharing his love of the water and fishing with his customers and spends every free moment out there, chasing the horizon and the next great catch.
