Fishing Charter Marzamemi is here to show you the stunning waters of Marzamemi. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Giovanni can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Gilt-head (Seabream), Bluefin Tuna, Squid, Bonito, Swordfish, Albacore Tuna, Amberjack, Mahi Mahi, Dentex, Little Tunny (False Albacore), and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! You'll target your catch by spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks – luckily, Capt. Giovanni will have some on board!

Capt. Giovanni operates a 28' Tecno center console with capacity for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Giovanni will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks available on board.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Fishing Charter Marzamemi.

    Indimenticabile esperienza

    Afternoon trip on August 25, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Abbiamo trascorso una mattinata favolosa e adrenalinica tra mare, pesca, e divertimento. Esperienza indimenticabile resa ancora più speciale dalla cordialità e professionalità del team. Hanno accolto e seguito mio figlio di 11 anni come se fosse uno della squadra, rendendolo partecipe nell'attività. Abbiamo iniziato l'escursione pescando pesci di piccola taglia da usare come esca, per poi passare alla pesca di prede piu grandi, Concludendo la mattinata con una bella cattura. Attrezzature per la pesca di ottima qualità e gommone in ottime condizioni. Un grazie davvero al Team Giovanni e Francesco. Oltre ad essere molto competenti, sono persone umanamente.squisite. consigliatissimo sia per adulti che ragazzi, esperienza da ripetere.

    Incredible trip, fantastic operator, great service, great experience

    Half Day Trip on July 13, 2026 • 2 adults

    We booked Giovanni starting at six in the morning and from the start, the experience was well organized, and professional. He had coffees and croissants for myself in my family and we got right onto the water with no delays. After about 30 minutes navigating out to the fishing grounds, we fished for pink snapper to use as bait for the tuna and then about two hours later we caught a beautiful 40 pound albacore. At that point, my kids were pretty tired so Giovanni took us over to the old fishing village where there were two beautiful castles and we swam off the boat for about an hour and explored the grottoes and coastline of the area. We finished up after about six hours in total and I just can’t say enough about how professional and wonderful every part of the experience was. Giovanni prepped the fish for us and packed it on ice - we are staying in a vacation villa nearby so we were able to take it with us and enjoy it over the next couple days. If you’re looking for something exciting and fun for a family day and also for a special way to experience the Mediterranean in the history of the area, I cannot recommend this more highly.

    Biggest Tuna I have ever caught.! Highly Reccomend !!

    Half Day Trip on October 12, 2025 • 1 adult

    An unforgettable fishing experience! I had an absolutely incredible day out on the water with this father-and-son fishing charter! From the moment we left the dock, they made me feel completely welcome — super friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, and it paid off — I landed the biggest tuna of my life! Their teamwork, attention to detail, and enthusiasm made the entire trip not only successful but also a ton of fun. It’s clear they truly love fishing and sharing that excitement with others. I can’t recommend this charter highly enough to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and unforgettable fishing adventure. I’ll definitely be booking with them again

    Outstanding day tuna fishing!

    Half Day Trip on October 10, 2025 • 6 adults

    The father-son captain and mate team at Fishing Charter Marzamemi were incredible from start to finish! They managed expectations and clearly told us we were a little late in the season for tuna but that they would try their hardest to make it happen, and they did! Their hospitality, fishery acumen, and passion for finding fish were all top notch and made for an unforgettable day on the water. I highly recommend this charter and would absolutely book them again if I find myself back in the area.

    Ottimo equipaggio, composto da due ragazzi che ci hanno accompagnato e supportato (era la prima esperienza). Abbiamo preso diversi pesci piccoli e due medi (tipo orate). Al rientro ci hanno cucinato anche il pesce! Bravi

    Great Family Trip

    Half Day Trip on April 18, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Lorenzo and his son were both professional and corteous during our half day trip with young kids (7, 5 and 5). Our kids had the best time catching lots of fish and we were well taken care of with safety equipment and provisions. I would highly recommend!

    Great afternoon trip out to the blue waters of the Mediteranean, 10 miles off the coast of Marzamemi. Catching a beautiful Bluefin Tuna was the icing on the cake!

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and your family. I'm delighted that you enjoyed every part of the experience—from the early morning start with coffee and croissants to catching the albacore and exploring the beautiful coastline, castles, and grottoes. It was especially nice to be able to adapt the day so your kids could relax, swim, and enjoy the sea as much as the fishing. I'm glad you were able to take the fresh tuna back to your villa and enjoy it over the following days. Creating memorable experiences that combine fishing, local history, and the beauty of the Mediterranean is exactly what I strive for. Thank you again for choosing to spend your day with me. I hope to welcome you and your family back to Sicily for another adventure in the future. Safe travels!

Equipaggio fantastico, persone molto accoglienti e simpatiche. Purtroppo non era la giornata giusta, i pesci non si sono fatti vedere, ma fa parte del gioco. Torneremo sicuramente per una nuova avventura, senza esitazione. Un’esperienza davvero molto bella nonostante tutto, soprattutto per essere stata la nostra prima volta. Durante la nostra uscita abbiamo anche incontrato delfini, tartarughe e pesci volanti. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Our first fishing trip
Afternoon trip on July 25, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

It was our first trip for 1 adult and 2 kids. The captain and his mate spoke excellent English and were super patient and gave excellent coaching to all of us. The keenest one was our 9 year old who, by the end of the 3 hour trip, must have caught over 20 fish. He was thrilled and was desperate to take some home and eat them that evening. I can certainly recommend this trip to beginners as we had a brilliant time.

Giovanni Lo Coco
Response from Captain

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your first fishing trip was such a success and that you all had a brilliant time. It’s especially great to know your 9-year-old had such an unforgettable experience—catching over 20 fish is an amazing achievement! We’re glad he got to take some home to enjoy as well. Our captain and mate will be thrilled to hear your kind words about their patience and coaching. We always strive to make every trip enjoyable and welcoming, especially for beginners and families. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another fishing adventure soon! 🎣
