Cefalu Fishing Boat Trip: Coastal Tour, Fishing Demo & Lunch on Board
Board a small fishing boat from Cefalù to watch nets hauled, swim in Saint Lucia's crystalline water and enjoy a seafood lunch prepared from the day's catch. This six-hour coastal tour combines hands-on fishing tradition with snorkeling and regional flavors.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Sun is strong on open water — use reef-safe sunscreen to protect both skin and seagrass habitats.
Wear water shoes
Rocky landings and boat ladders are common; water shoes give grip and protect feet from sharp rock.
Prep for seasickness
Mornings can be choppy; take motion-sickness medication before boarding if you’re sensitive.
Carry a small dry bag
Keep phone, ID and a light layer dry while swimming or during unexpected sprays.
Local Knowledge

Conservation Note
Avoid anchoring on Posidonia meadows and use reef-safe sunscreens; small-group tours help reduce pressure on local marine life.
Cefalù’s fishing methods reflect centuries-old coastal livelihoods; the town itself grew into prominence under Norman rule in the 12th century.
