    La nostra prima esperienza di pesca in mare

    3/4 Day Trip • 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.

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Bluefin Tuna

    Esperienza da fare!!!

    Big Game Trip • 4 adults

    "Hai presente quando non sai da che parte cominciare? Scegliamo il criterio della cronologia. Il Charter sarebbe dovuto avvenire verso metà luglio ma avendo noi solo il sabato a disposizione il tempo non era dei migliori ed il comandante ci consigliò di rimandare...la cosa è avvenuta per 3 volte (chiunque avrebbe concluso prima; lui no). Poi le vacanze etc... Finalmente il 5 settembre abbiamo le condizioni e si esce. Barca: perfettamente allestita per praticamente tutti i tipi di pesca. Il comandante è una persona squisita, un navigatore esperto e un PESCATORE VEROOOO! Conosce i posti e ci tiene che avvengano gli strikes...e quando hai una guida come lui...li hai!!! Tecniche di pesca sorprendenti e catture una dietro l'altra: lampughe a raffica e poi (rilasciati immediatamente) alletterati, tonni rossi e pesce spada. Esperienza oltre le aspettative. Secondo voi ve lo consiglio? COSA ASPETTATEEEEEE!?!??!?!?!! Complimeni capitano Dario.....

    Mission Accomplished!

    Big Game Trip • 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!

    The best fishing trip I've had

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    We took a 6 hour trip together with my dad and everything was amazing. Dario was super attentive and gave us some great tips. He went out of his way to ensure we were happy and we caught a lot of fish - Mahi Mahi, Bonito and couple of small Bluefin Tunas that we released. We kept some of the larger fish and will cook them this evening. Overall, we could not be happier with our trip and highly recommend Pequeño Nieto!!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
    Bluefin Tuna
    Bonito

    Sehr gutes Erlebnis

    3/4 Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit und wir haben auch 4 Fische gefangen. Für den großen fang hat es leider nicht gereicht aber so ist es einfach beim Fischen. Der Capitän war sehr freundlich und hat einiges erklärt. Auch ein super Erlebnis für unsere Kinder (4) und (7) Jahre alt. Danke 👍💪

    Our day started on time and with an experienced captain Alessandro. He was personal and wanted to help us catch fish. We caught a bonitos tunafish. We tried again and a blue fin took the hook, the line went out, and snapped the line. We had the best time! Highly recommend!!

    Great service, great crew, awesome captain. Would highly reccomend using this captain on your next fishing guide! Very experienced, knew what to do! I had quite an adventure! Flew from Canada in a solo travel, decided to book the fishing tour last minute & I'm glad I did! Will be booking again when the time comes.

    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.
