Full-day fishing in Sicily: Sport fishing aboard a Pursuit 3070
You set the pace and the captain sets the hook
A full-day fishing activity in Sicily aboard a 10-meter Pursuit 3070 center console, guided by an experienced captain who adapts techniques to your skill level. You fish the coasts and islands of northwestern Sicily using methods like bolentino, trawl and tuna drifting, with all equipment provided and the captain handling boat operation and spot selection.
The experience
Seven hours on the water means time to find the fish instead of rushing between spots. The boat is a Pursuit 3070 center console built for sport fishing, equipped with state-of-the-art tackle and rigged for the techniques that work here: bolentino for bottom species, trawl for mid-water fish, tuna drifting for the big predators that move through these waters. The captain knows the best grounds along the northwestern coast and among the islands of the archipelago, and he reads the conditions to decide where to position the boat each day.
Whether you've never held a rod or you fish regularly, the captain adapts the techniques and the targets to what you can handle. Beginners learn the mechanics on the water. Experienced anglers get pushed toward the species and methods that match their skills. You're not watching from the rail. You're holding the rod, feeling the line, fighting the fish yourself. The boat carries toilets, snacks and a selection of drinks, so you stay comfortable through the day. Fuel is calculated on return based on actual consumption and added to your final bill.
The captain speaks English or Italian, and handles all the details: the choice of spots, the rigging, the assistance on board. You show up ready to fish.

Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English and Italian.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What kind of fish will I be targeting off northwestern Sicily?
The waters here hold bottom species that respond to bolentino, mid-water fish you can reach by trawl, and larger predators like tuna that you pursue by drifting. The captain chooses the technique and the grounds based on the conditions and what's running that day.
Do I need fishing experience to book this?
No. The captain adapts the techniques and targets to your skill level, whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler. You'll fish the whole day either way.
What's included in the price besides the fishing?
All fishing equipment (rods, reels, bait and terminals) is provided; the skipper's expertise and boat operation; toilets on board; snacks; and a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Fuel is calculated separately based on consumption when you return.
How long is the full day on the water?
Seven hours from start to finish, which gives the captain time to move between productive grounds and you time to actually fish instead of traveling.
