The 6 best fishing tourism experiences in Sardinia

Pescaturismo in the Maddalena Archipelago is an experience to discover the archipelago while having a fresh fish lunch.

The tour starts at 9:30 a.m. from the port of Cala Gavetta in the Maddalena Archipelago and you will go directly to the fishing site to pull nets with the catch placed the night before.

After that, a demonstration will take place on how to pull the nets and process the catch, and around lunchtime you will move to a sheltered cove where you can relax, take a swim or simply soak up some sun while the crew prepares lunch with the caught fish. Lunch will end with fruit, desserts and coffee.

After lunch you will have some more time to rest before returning to port around 5:30 pm.

Experience a day of fishing tourism and lunch by boat from Golfo Aranci and learn about fishing traditions and the Emerald Coast. The excursion can be experienced during the day, at sunset or in the evening, in three different modes:

Day trip with lunch

During the boat trip, two types of fishing are practiced: palamito or bollentino with a fishing rod and the use of nets. The caught fish is prepared and consumed on board. Several swim stops will be made during the outing among the various coves of Golfo Aranci and the Emerald Coast. The tour ends around 5:00 pm.

Dolphin Sunset Tour

This tour starts at 6:00 pm with return at 8:00 pm. During this outing, you will be taken by boat to the waters where you are most likely to encounter dolphins. The main objective is to observe these magnificent marine mammals in their natural habitat.
