About the experience

We organize boat trips, excursions, and parties of all kinds. Upon request, we also offer fishing trips using any technique, including bottom fishing, vertical fishing, spinning, trolling, etc.
The cost includes a membership card (fuel not included).
The boat trip includes a fun course with a swim in shallow water (50 centimeters), deep water (optional), or both. Upon request, we also offer sport fishing, or just fishing or just fun.
You can choose a half-day or full-day option (which I recommend) for up to 12 people, including the skipper.
The average trip is about 30 miles (about 60 km) round trip, with scenic tours, a cruise around the Cheradi Islands, a swim in shallow water, deep water, or both, and a navigation through a navigable canal, a swing bridge, the Mar Piccolo, the old town, the stone bridge, the castle, Greek columns, the three sirens, the ring of San Cataldo, the seafront roundabout, the government building, the naval base, and the return journey. With an average load of 6 people, the boat consumes about 4 liters per mile.

The fishing-only trips (bottom line) are approximately 20 miles (40 km) round trip, plus various transfers (calculated based on average half-day consumption).

Because it is an association, a membership fee of €6 per person (included in the booking fee) is added to the fuel cost (as above). This fee includes insurance and free use of fishing equipment (the membership is valid for one year).

The boat is new, launched in July 2019, very comfortable, 8.50 meters long, and powered by two 150 hp Yamaha engines installed in January 2023, which push the boat fully loaded to 38 knots.

On board, there's a comfortable bow sundeck for four, a sun lounger below deck, a separate marine toilet, and all the onboard equipment required for cruising beyond 6 miles from the coast. It includes electronics such as a GPS chart plotter, a Raymarine professional depth sounder, a VHF radio for shore communications, a music radio, a refrigerator, a sink and freshwater shower, a coffee maker, benches, a table, a sun awning, and three ice chests to keep drinks cold for everyone on board. etc.

You can bring your own food and drinks on board (with proof of purchase), or, if desired, lunch or dinner can be arranged, provided by a seafront à la carte restaurant that will bring everything on board on time for dining at sea. The vessel is fully HCCP certified.

For any information, please don't hesitate to contact me.

For smaller or larger needs, customized itineraries can be arranged.

Guaranteed fun; see for yourself.

Nicola is a very kind person. He made everything easy for us. He told us the history of Taranto, and we walked under the swing bridge. It was a great experience.

We had a great day with Nicola, four adults and four young people on the boat. We arrived and boarded the boat as originally planned, but it was very windy. Nicola kindly offered to postpone the trip until the next day to have a more enjoyable time. We accepted, and it was a good thing we did, as the weather was calmer the next day. Everything was great; the boat is comfortable, and Nicola is great, very kind, and does everything he can to make the day enjoyable. Communication is very clear (with the translator system, very practical), there are no hidden fees, and fishing and swimming are available. Highly recommended! Thank you, Nicola!
