About this tour
Spend six hours on the water off Capri or the Amalfi Coast fishing alongside a seasoned local captain who knows these seas intimately. You'll work artificial rigs to target pelagic fish—tuna, dorado, jacks—in waters renowned for their clarity and abundance. It's a genuine working fishing experience rather than a tourist outing, combining skill, patience and the unpredictable rhythms of the sea.
Highlights
- Fish for tuna, dorado and jacks with experienced local captain
- Work artificial rigs on a well-equipped fishing boat
- Navigate legendary waters off Capri and Amalfi
- Learn regional fishing techniques and maritime knowledge
- Six-hour expedition on crystalline Mediterranean waters
What to expect
You'll board a comfortable fishing vessel and head into open water where the captain positions the boat based on current conditions and fish behaviour. Expect hands-on instruction in casting artificial lures and reading the water. There's downtime between strikes—scanning the horizon, chatting with the crew, watching seabirds work the same waters you are. The boat moves regularly to follow fish; if your catch is good, you stay put. Physical exertion varies depending on what bites and how hard it fights. Weather and sea state dictate the day, so conditions can shift.
Good to know
Wear layers and waterproof clothing; spray and sun exposure are constant. Bring sunscreen and a hat. A reasonable level of fitness helps with the repetitive casting and reeling. Public transport reaches the departure point. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have significant cardiovascular concerns.
