Capt. Giovanni runs trips out of Marzamemi aboard 28' Tecno Inflatable outboard. Using bottom fishing, spinning, trolling, jigging, and other techniques, you'll have a chance to catch Albacore Tuna, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi) and Squid. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.

    Indimenticabile esperienza

    Afternoon trip • 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.

    Grazie di cuore per queste splendide parole! ❤️ Siamo davvero felici che abbiate trascorso una mattinata così emozionante e, soprattutto, che vostro figlio si sia sentito parte della squadra! 🎣😊 Per noi è una grande soddisfazione riuscire a trasmettere la passione per il mare e la pesca anche ai più giovani, regalando momenti di divertimento e condivisione. È stato un vero piacere avervi a bordo e condividere con voi questa bellissima esperienza. Grazie ancora per la fiducia e per averci scelto! Un caro saluto da Giovanni, Francesco e tutto il team. Vi aspettiamo per la prossima avventura! 🌊🎣❤️

    Incredible trip, fantastic operator, great service, great experience

    Half Day Trip • 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.

    Reported catch:
    Albacore Tuna
    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!

    uscita 09/08/26

    Afternoon trip • 3 adults

    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. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

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

    Half Day Trip • 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

    Our first fishing trip

    Afternoon trip • 3 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.

    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! 🎣
