  Not just fishing. An amazing memory for our family.

  Halfday trip afternoon on August 8, 2026 • 3 adults

  Captain Lorenzo and his wonderful son Giovanni were amazing. Clearly, they are passionate about fishing and it shows. Plus, they treated us so well. We caught an enourmous conger eel, which was fun on it’s own, but afterwards was the real magic: Lorenzo had a local restaurant cook up the catch. We enjoyed dinner with him and his family - a magical spontaneous evening with wonderful, welcoming, kind people. Another surprise: his lovely wife Dora gave us jars of a homemade tuna in oil. Thank you Lorenzo and your amazing family!!!

  Best in class!

  Full day on October 1, 2026 • 2 adults

  Both Lorenzo and Giovanni are absolute gentlemen and know the fishing inside out. You can tell they too are fishermen and go the extra mile to make your trip! Unfortunately one of us got seasick and we decided to go home earlier, but one day...we will definitely be back with them for a rematch with the big ones! Can't recommend enough! Hans &Will

  Amazing fishing trip!!!

  Full day on July 11, 2026 • 4 adults

  Amazing trip! Lorenzo picked us up directly at 0500, we were at our fishing spot by 0630, and we had caught two 70kg bluefin, one 18kg albacore tuna, and a red snapper that Lorenzo filleted for us onboard! Lorenzo maneuvered the boat extremely well, provided coaching to us while we had the big fish on line, and Gio was an amazing First Mate! We couldn’t have asked for anything better! Highly recommended!!!

  Excellent fishing trip from Syracusa

  Half Day Trip on May 6, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  We took a hald-day fishing trip from Syracusa at the beginning of May with my 6 year old son. The trip was well tailored for us in order to catch many different species with bottom fishing as per our wish. We also tried to catch for red snappers from deeper waters but unfortunately did not catch one. I would highly recommend the trip to everyone from beginner to more experienced anglers, even with children.

  A great experience

  Halfday trip morning on June 14, 2026 • 2 adults

  A great experience with Giovanni and his two sons to support on the trip. They do all the work and then hand you the rod when the tuna is on for you to land, as they have the experience and you don't. My son also enjoyed it, his first time out on a boat on a fishing trip and he got stuck in. I would recommend to anyone with a passion or inquisitiveness for big fish fishing.
