Gulf of Naples Offshore Fishing: Private Pro Charter with Captain
Board a professional Pursuit 31 at first light for a private fishing charter in the Gulf of Naples. With a veteran captain, state‑of‑the‑art tackle, and a light Italian lunch, this half‑day trip targets tuna, squid and reef species across productive Mediterranean grounds.
The Experience
Before You Go
Take seasickness medicine early
If you get motion sick, take medication at least 30–60 minutes before departure; mornings can still be choppy offshore.
Layer up for changing conditions
Morning air is cool; bring a windproof layer and a light waterproof—sun and spray alternate quickly on the open water.
Bring non‑slip shoes
Closed, grippy footwear improves footing on deck during casting and when the boat heels.
Communicate target species
Tell the captain what you hope to catch—technique, bait and route will be tailored by season and sea state.
