Cefalù: Passeio de Barco com Pesca, Passeio Costeiro e Almoço a Bordo

August 3, 2026 Today, the three of us—including Andrew (10)—experienced one of the most authentic parts of Sicily: a traditional pescaturismo fishing excursion. Instead of fishing with rods, our captain showed us how local fishermen harvest their catch by pulling in a fishing net that had been set earlier. It was fascinating to see what the sea had provided. Together we caught spider fish, flatfish, cuttlefish, shrimp, striped seabream (mormora), and several other local fish. Before lunch, we anchored in a beautiful cove and spent time snorkeling in the crystal-clear Mediterranean waters. It was the perfect way to cool off and enjoy the coastline before returning to the boat. The best part came afterward. Our captain transformed the morning’s catch into an unforgettable lunch. We started with bruschetta drizzled with his grandmother’s homemade olive oil and fresh anchovies. Next came homemade pasta with tuna, followed by swordfish and fennel in a rich red sauce. To finish, he simply grilled the fish we had caught that morning. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a lesson in Sicilian tradition, hospitality, and the joy of sharing food that came directly from the sea. Watching Andrew experience the entire process, from catching the fish to enjoying them at the table, made this one of the highlights of our trip. I love how this day combined adventure, learning, swimming, and incredible food. Years from now, it’s the kind of experience your family will likely remember as “the day we became Sicilian fishermen for a morning.”

simply wonderful I recommend it to everyone 🤩

Giovanni number one ! 🤩 undisputed

A truly unique experience: my daughter is still talking about it after 3 days. Giovanni is a fantastic person and an excellent cook. It was also truly remarkable to have eaten the catch directly on board.

100% real authentic fishing. What else can I say about it? Giovanni and his daughter are super nice people who let you share in their lives. Would love to do it again!

Unforgettable day: the experience of pulling in the nets with fish that we then ate for lunch is unique! My daughter told everyone about it! Divine lunch and Giovanni is a fantastic person!

Giovanni is an excellent host; he contacted us before departure to ensure everything was okay, then, on board, he acted as captain, chef, and entertainer. It was a wonderful experience, and we recommend it especially for families with children.

We had an amazing day on this boat tour… we learned so much and had so much fun. Giovanni was a great host and an amazing cook- lunch on the boat was delicious. He took us to a beautiful place where we went snorkeling and swimming while he prepared the fish that we caught earlier that day. It was truly a memorable experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Giovanni!

My group of 6 had an amazing time on this outing. Giovanni is very friendly and a great host. A home cooked meal on the boat with the freshly caught fish was a one of a kind, authentic experience. I highly recommend this booking for groups looking for a unique experience! 10/10 would book again.

We had a great day with Giovanni. The entire tour was both relaxing and educational. There is plenty of time for swimming and afterwards a hearty lunch.
