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.

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

First time deep sea fishing with two kids (7 and 12) and it was amazing. Both adults and kids had a great time. Giovanni was great with the kids and answered all their questions. Caught lots of snapper, a large bonito and many others. Also he brought snacks and water for the crew!

This captain and mate go above and beyond to making it one of the best fishing charters I have ever been on. They have immense local knowledge of the area and know where the fish are and how to catch them. They also are both extremly nice and professional. They provided everything we needed from breakfast to lunch including water, soft drinks, and coffe. It was an absolutely great trip and i would highly recommend booking them if you want to get on the fish and enjoy exceptional service while your at it.

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.
