Unforgettable Day at Sea – Great Captain, Great Catch!

DRIFTING bluefin tunas2 adults

We had an unforgettable day out on the water in Civitavecchia! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Our Captain Simone provided delicious food, cold drinks, and great company. He made us feel welcome and at ease the entire trip. The highlight was landing a massive 30-kilo bluefin tuna — truly a once-in-a-lifetime catch! The boat was well-equipped, and everything ran smoothly. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this charter to anyone visiting Italy and looking for an incredible day of fishing

It's been a pleasure having you guys on board the Nomad. Even if at that moment there was not a great activity we managed to land and release a fish, we had fun, relax and sun. I hope to see you soon for other great adventures

    The true fishing adventure with Simone

    GROUPER & DENTEX - long distance • 2 adults

    Our fishing trip with Simone was everything but disappointing! Very nice weather , very nice skipper and and a lot of strikes during our fishing day (swordfish, tuna, little tunny). We manager to catch one nice tuna(70 lbs) and 2 sizable tunnies.(15 lbs and 23 lbs). Even better ,Simone had prepared for us a delicious and gorgeous picnic( without extra-cost!) which is not very usual while making a fishing trip with a professionnal skipper. From every point of view it was a wonderful experience.I’ve already planned to come back next year !

    Amazing Fishing Trip! Highly Recommend

    Night Bottom Fishing on Shipwreck • 2 adults

    I took my son on this trip Simone during our European trip while in Rome! This was one of the highlights of our entire trip in Europe. My son talks about our fishing first when asked about our 3-week trip around Europe. Simone is the best fishing captain my son and I have had in our many fishing trips together. He got us on fish quickly, brought some excellent food and drinks for the trip, and was great to spend time with. I hope to book with Simone again in the future!

    Response from Captain

    We had a nice fishing night together, you are very enjoyable people (despite the jet lag 🤣). I'm very happy you felt so good and overall you have a good memories about the trip. You are more than welcome to come back!!! Thank you so much

    A lovely half day trip with Captain Simone!

    GROUPER & DENTEX

    I spent a great day fishing with Captain Simone and we even managed to hook a grouper on vertical fishing! He has an impressive knowledge of the area and of various fishing techniques, and his tackle is really good. Oh, and moreover, I had some local gourmet focaccia which was sooooo yummy! I will definitely love to go out fishing with this guy again!
