Local captain Vittorio provided the best fishing experience for our entire family. Our all-day private charter included squid fishing to depths of over 600m, casting topwater into schools of bonito, and trolling for sea bream and amberjack. He graciously provided a delicious lunch and refreshments as well as several opportunities to cool off swimming and snorkeling into various caves.
Later that evening, we enjoyed our catch in Praiano at his family’s beautiful restaurant overlooking the Amalfi coast. This amazing day is one we will never forget.
Grazie Captain Vittorio!

Ican’t say enough good things about this trip. My 8 year old son and I came by ourselves specifically to catch squid. It’s August, which is low season for fishing here, but we still managed to catch a few squid. Vittorio was an amazing captain, very knowledgeable and hospitable.  My son and I have decided that every time we come to Caserta to visit the cousins,  we will make a day and night to stay in Marina di Praia and go fishing with Captain Vittorio. Truly an amazing experience through and through. 10/10

I took my family on a charter with Captain Vittorio Milano while visiting Italy and it was a fantastic experience. We wanted to catch a giant squid which he hooked us up on, then we moved in closer to shore and bottom fished where we caught Sgambro (Italian mackerel) orata and Boga (types of sea bream). After the trip we met his family and his mother prepared some fantastic Italian dishes from our catch. It was a memorable experience for my family that we will always cherish. I recommend that if you ever visit the Sorrento/Praiano area and like to fish you give him a call. He grew up there and knows the waters.

One of the best experiences our family ever had — and I mean that.

We booked a squid fishing excursion with Vittorio Milano out of Praiano, and it exceeded every expectation. Vittorio was communicative from the very first message, making planning easy and giving us full confidence in what to expect. On the day of the excursion, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely wonderful company — warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about sharing his craft.

What set this experience apart was what happened after the fishing: Vittorio brought our fresh catch to his family’s restaurant, Trattoria San Gennaro, and had it cooked for our dinner. Farm-to-table has nothing on sea-to-table in Praiano. The meal was extraordinary, and sitting down to eat something we had pulled from the water just hours earlier, in this beautiful corner of southern Italy, was truly magical.

In two weeks of traveling through Italy — a country full of once-in-a-lifetime moments — this excursion stood out as the highlight. I cannot recommend Vittorio highly enough. If you’re on the Amalfi Coast, make this a priority.

Vittorio was on time and very prepared for the trip. We caught squid and went trolling. He lives there so knows the waters. Brought the catch back to his family restaurant to cook and wow!
Highly recommend
