Discover Fishing in Sicily with a native Sicilian

Come Fish in Breathtaking Sicily

SicilyFishing is the number one company to enjoy shore and boat fishing trips in Sicily. Shore fishing is just some of Andrea Giardina’s specialities who will be your adventure guide and expedition’s designer during these exciting trips .
From the coast, you’ll be able to fish for Amberjack, Little tunny, Barracuda, Dentex, Red Porgy, Seabass, Bluefish, Bluerunner, Grouper, Atlantic Bonito depending on the season; even the great Bluefin tuna in some specific spots is found close to the shore. All the these species, together with Albacore tuna, mediterranean spearfish and Swordfish are mostly found in offshore areas of this side of the Mediterranean Sea all year round.
The fishing sessions from the boat depart from different locations spread all over the Sicilian Island. All the boats are well-equipped for a productive deep sea fishing trip in the Mediterranean Sea, such as ”live bait trolling” for Common and Gibbosus Dentex (Snapper), grouper and Amberjack and vertical fishing techniques with artificial baits (jigs, soft baits, light jigs, Inchiku). We also practice drifting and trolling for Swordfish and the mighty Mediterranean Bluefin Tuna.

Das beste Erlebnis meines Sizilien-Urlaubs! Wir haben Andrea und Luca am Hafen getroffen und von dort aus unsere Tour zum Blauflossen-Thunfisch-Angeln gestartet. Zunächst fuhren wir aufs Meer hinaus, um Köderfische zu angeln, schon das hat unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht. Anschließend ging es etwa 11 Meilen hinaus aufs offene Meer, umgeben von nichts als Wasser. Dort bereiteten wir das Setup für die Thunfische vor, und schon kurze Zeit später war es soweit: Ich kämpfte mit einem False Albacore und konnte ihn erfolgreich landen. Wenig später hatten wir einen weiteren Biss, diesmal ein Thunfisch mit über 250 kg. Nach einem intensiven 45-minütigen Kampf mussten wir ihn leider ziehen lassen. Trotzdem war dieses Erlebnis absolut beeindruckend. Die Kulisse war einfach unbeschreiblich: Die Sonne ging langsam unter, Delfine sprangen neben dem Boot, ein wirklich magischer Moment. Zum Abschluss fuhren wir noch in eine Bucht, um Barrakudas zu angeln, begleitet von einem traumhaften Sonnenuntergang. Andrea und Luca sind unglaublich herzliche Menschen. Luca bereitete uns auf hoher See ein leckeres Essen mit frischen, regionalen Zutaten zu, und Andrea war mit voller Leidenschaft beim Fischen dabei. Er gab uns wertvolle Tipps, fieberte bei jedem Drill mit und erzählte uns viel über die Region und die Fischerei. Wer auf der Suche nach einem authentischen, besonderen und unvergesslichen Erlebnis auf Sizilien ist, ist bei Andrea genau richtig. Eine absolute Empfehlung!

I recently spent two incredible days fishing out of Marzamemi in south-eastern Sicily with Captain Andreas and crewman Luca from Sicily Fishing, targeting XL Bluefin Tuna, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. From the moment we stepped aboard, Andreas’ passion for both fishing and Sicily was obvious. His knowledge of the local waters, the fishery, and the region itself added so much to the trip. He was always happy to share his expertise and teach us different techniques, making it not only a successful fishing adventure but also a fantastic learning experience. The fishing was outstanding and physically demanding, On day one, we caught and released an estimated 250–300kg Bluefin Tuna with over 2 hours of fight time, and on day two we successfully caught and released another magnificent fish of around 100kg. The power and size of these fish were truly unforgettable.both fish were successfully released. Andrea’s uses high end Shimano reels and Sicilian blank game rods! What really sets Sicily Fishing apart is the people. Andreas and Luca worked tirelessly to give me the best possible experience while keeping the atmosphere relaxed, enjoyable, and full of laughs. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and genuine love for what they do made every moment on the water memorable. Fishing in a new country is always exciting, but Sicily Fishing delivered an experience that exceeded all expectations. Not only did i have incredible success on the water, but we also learned new techniques, gained a deeper appreciation for Sicilian fishing culture, and created memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re considering a fishing charter in Sicily, look no further than Sicily Fishing. Andreas and Luca provide a world-class experience, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you both for an unforgettable adventure—I shall definitely be back!

This was a great trip!! 4 out of 4 caught fish! Andrea and Carmelo were very knowledgable! They were very accommodating and able to extend the trip when our plans changed. We were on a cruise, and they were able to adjust the time based on when we could get off our ship. They had great local breakfast, lunch and coffee on board. I would recommend fishing, or any other adventures Andrea has to offer! -Charlie

We had an amazing adventure with Andrea, Luca, and Melo! Andrea was a great communicator right from the start. He was quick to respond and get all the information needed for our trip ahead of time. When we arrived at the marina we were greeted with smiling faces and breakfast treats from a local bakery. Andrea was a knowledgeable guide with lots of information about Mt. Etna and the areas we were fishing. We learned so much! Andrea, Luca, and Melo worked in a perfect symphony to make sure we were having a great time, safe, and caught some fish! The crew provided a delicious lunch of local food and cold beverages. We look forward to our next trip with this fun and dedicated crew!

We met as agreed at the port of Marzamemi at 6 a.m., about 50 minutes from Syracuse, for an offshore trolling trip. Andrea had already said in advance that it would be difficult to catch a bluefin tuna at this time of year, but that it was still possible, as well as other tuna species and swordfish. There is also a good chance of catching mahimahi, amberjack, and other predators while light game trolling. After about 3 hours with the heavy gear and no activity from the large tuna, we switched to light game tackle and promptly caught some beautiful mahimahis up to about 80cm, pilot fish, amberjacks, and finally, a small bluefin tuna each. If you have never done it before, you have to experience it. Despite their small size, the fish fight like a big pike in summer - it's really amazing. Not only I, but also my partner was taken to the fish by Andrea and his colleague Luca and, even though she has nothing to do with fishing, we had a good time. Snacks, fruit, sandwiches, and all kinds of cold drinks were provided. Andrea's handling of the fish is very respectful, which I really liked. All in all, it was a truly wonderful experience that I would warmly recommend to everyone.

Great time on the water with Andrea and Luca. They worked very hard to get us on fish and took good care of us. The breakfast and lunch that was provided was delicious and the espresso was a real treat. A couple of items to note to help prepare you for your trip: 1. Make sure you bring a big cooler full of ice to keep the fish cold as the boat doesn’t have space to store your catch 2. Due to the size of the boat, there’s no restroom onboard - not a problem for us but wanted to ensure others were aware. Again, great bluefin trip with Andrea - he’s a great Captain that will get you on fish!!!

If you are interested in fishing the waters of Sicily, look no further, Capt. Andrea and his 1st mate Luca are all you'll need. They did everything they could t to provide a memorable experience for my son and I, which of course included an epic bluefin tuna battle for my son. Capt Andrea is also a licensed tour guide for a plethora of Sicilian adventures, so again, no need to keep searching. Buona Fortuna and Tight Lines!

The weather allowed us to get offshore on our second day and Andrea made an exceptional effort to get us some Tuna. An early start, short stop and full load of bait fish followed by a very pleasant drift with two modest, but beautiful Tuna landed. Of the handful of boats on the mark we were one of the few to catch, Andrea knows his stuff. Can recommend.
