What is fishing tourism
Fishing tourism is an authentic and immersive experience that lets tourists dive into the life of fishermen by hopping on board their boats and joining in on the fishing activities.
This kind of sustainable tourism not only gives you the chance to learn traditional fishing techniques, but also to explore some of the most beautiful coasts and islands alongside locals who know the sea and the land inside out.
These experiences allow tourists to discover marine biodiversity, enjoy freshly caught fish, and support local communities, contributing to the growth of responsible and eco-friendly tourism.
A family tradition
We are three brothers, Davide, Armando and Anselmo.
Ours is a family that has been practicing small-scale fishing for generations.
Our work has been handed down to us by our father, Francesco, who taught us everything but above all to love and respect the sea.
He, a strong, good, infinitely wise and intelligent man, always repeated to us like a mantra:
“if you respect the sea, it gives you its fruits and makes you live”.
We carry on this activity in his name and in his perennial memory.
>We do not adhere to review and recommendation platforms.
Our work
Our job, on the trawler LILLIC, is to practice small-scale fishing with nets and pots built by us, with rushes and reeds, as per tradition and handed down for generations.
For some years we have also been practicing fishing tourism, that is, we bring people with us and let them experience fishing.
We also work with schools and show the younger generations how fishing is done, how hard it can be but also how to be satisfied with it.
We ask everyone who comes to visit us to be responsible, respect and love the sea.
