Full-Day Sport Fishing Adventure off Northwest Sicily
Spend a full day fishing off northwest Sicily aboard a purpose-built Pursuit 3070. Guided by experienced captains, this seven-hour trip mixes techniques—bolentino, drifting and more—across productive reefs and island channels.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness remedies
Rough patches are possible; take pills or use acupressure bands before departure if you’re prone to seasickness.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks can be wet and tackle-heavy—closed-toe, grippy soles improve safety and comfort.
Pack layered sun protection
Sun reflects off water; use a long-sleeve UV shirt, hat, and reef-safe sunscreen.
Secure belongings in a dry bag
Salt spray and waves will find loose items—store phones, documents and spare clothes in a waterproof bag.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Cala Rossa (Favignana) for dramatic drop-offs and clear water
- •Levanzo’s small caves and quiet anchorages for a calm post-fishing swim
Wildlife
- •Common dolphins often bow-ride near fishing boats
- •Loggerhead sea turtles and large pelagic species like bluefin tuna in season
Conservation Note
Many parts of the Sicilian channels fall under marine protections and seasonal fishing quotas; crews follow local rules and promote catch-and-release for certain species.
This coastline has long been a crossroads—Phoenician, Greek and later tuna fisheries (tonnare) shaped local ports and cuisine.
