Fish, swim, eat fresh local food, and see Capri by boat on this relaxed eight-hour Sorrento tour with SalBoat.
“Beautiful day on the water. Sal, the Captain and Lorenzo worked hard to make the trip fun, comfortable and informative. We opted to stay onboard and fish. Later Sal prepared a delicious lunch that included our fresh catch. Can't get any better than that!”
Review of Taranto’s private fishing and swim boat trip, with route choices, costs, skipper Nicola, swimming stops, and practical booking advice.
“Nicola was happy and polite but this was not the fishing trip we had expected. Beach stops were good and he tried to make it up to us with an extra hour and several proseccos which was kind. However, he was an hour late, had no bait, we stayed within the harbour and it wasn't the fishing trip we had been led to believe we had paid €228 ( fuel costs) for. Lovely chap but maybe not the boat for fishing.”

Fish, snorkel, and search for dolphins off Pizzo on a three-hour small-group boat trip with coastal views and included equipment.

Spend seven hours fishing off Trapani and Favignana with Egadi Boating, using top gear, local guidance, snacks, drinks, and a private boat.
“Our honeymoon fishing trip around the Egadi Islands was absolutely perfect—10/10 experience! We spent the day surrounded by glassy, turquoise waters, with stunning views in every direction. The captain and skipper were incredibly friendly, helpful, and deeply knowledgeable about the area, taking us straight to the best fishing spots. The boat was top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment that made everything seamless. It was a beautiful, peaceful day on the sea with nothing but good vibes—an unforgettable part of our trip!”
Fish by Ortigia, tour Syracuse’s caves, and swim near Plemmirio on a private four-hour boat trip with drinks and an English guide.
“This is a fantastic boat cruise. Franco, our captain, was very skillful in navigating passing under a VERY LOW bridge (duck!) and through tricky waters in the caves. He spoke English perfectly so we learned a lot. We went in January so no swimming, but this tour was great.”
Review of Cefalù’s six-hour fishing boat trip, coastal views, swimming, fresh-catch lunch, practical tips, price, and who should book.
“A fantastic, relaxing day on the water. We went with our two young sons (2 and 5) and my father, who is 78. Giovanni met us at the dock and took us out to a fishing net in front of Cefalu beach. There were quite a few fish and he talked us through what we caught. We then motored back to a beautiful bay for swimming and lunch. It was super kid/family friendly with a lot of time to spend swimming, sunning and having a delicious lunch and a couple glasses of wine. Can’t recommend highly enough for a low key yet educational and enjoyable day on the water.”
