Fishing Experience in Sicily – Pescaturismo on Board a Traditional Fishing Boat-GOM11

Immerse yourself in the maritime traditions of Sciacca, one of Italy’s most famous fishing towns.
Step aboard a real fishing boat and experience the thrill of night fishing with “lampare” lights, just as local fishermen have done for generations.

A Journey into the World of Traditional Fishing
The adventure begins as you sail toward the best fishing areas.
Once the fish are located, the crew uses lampare — powerful lights that attract schools of fish to the surface.
At the right moment, the net is cast in a semicircle to catch the fish, which are then carefully stored in crates with ice and salt for preservation.
But the experience doesn’t end there!
Back on board, you’ll watch the fishermen at work, learning the traditional techniques of cleaning, salting, filleting, and preserving the catch in jars — just as the fishermen of Sciacca have done for centuries.
