The aim of Fishing Tourism is to promote and increase the value of traditions relating to Sea and Fishing Culture, which are frequently abandoned and undervalued.

Some of the recreational activities include trips along the coasts, meals served on board fishing boats and the observing of fishing operations. So, the tourists is eager to discover the sea's heritage and secrets have been able to take part in, as a unique experience in contact with fishermen and their tireless profession.

Spending the day on board a fishing boat means having the chance to learn first hand the secrets and traditions of Sicilian fishing while listening to the stories, legends and anecdotes told by the fishermen. At the end of the day, the crew organises delicious dinners based on the fresh fish caught during the day in the company of the tourists.

This activity was born to create new working opportunities for operators within the world of fishing, to upgrade the market share of tourism and respecting, at the same time, the needs of sustainable fishing in compliance with policy directives and requirements. It also presents an opportunity to rediscover and increase the most evocative environmental contexts and locations of Sicily through responsible tourism and culture and tradition of these places.

Thanks to the Fish Tourism the fishermen offer their knowledge and culture at the disposal of tourists, remaining true to their own historical and cultural identity and, above all, promoting wholesome and sustainable tourism.

These activities are carried out all year round in all the fishing communities on the Sicilian coasts, concentrating especially on the smaller islands. The boats equipped for fishing tourism have been adapted to carry tourists and cater to all those who wish to experience a day of fishing. Tourist can also take part in unforgettable night-time fishing expeditions: the boats have safety equipment, with life rafts, life belts, sanitary material and suitable areas reserved for the group of tourists on board.
